<p>Hi - So, i love everything about Georgetown!! I really want to go here but I am afraid I'll get rejected. </p>
<p>Freshman year, i had a 3.7 UW GPA both semesters, Sophomore year, 4.0 one semester UW and 3.8 the other UW. However, I REALLY messed up everything Junior year, and I got a 2.8 UW GPA first semester, and 3.5 UW second semester. I am going to apply EARLY ACTION. I haven't received my SAT scores back but I'm expecting 700 + in each category based on practice SATs/tests. I have a lot of extra curricular's - Journalism (editor for two years), ASB student leadership, started a mentoring club, did club swimming three seasons, in other clubs, volunteer time around community, camp counselor, and hoping to get an internship this summer for journalism, if not - i will work. </p>
<p>I was wondering if A) you guys think i have any chance whatsoever! B) if i apply early it will increase my chances or i should wait until regular decision C) if i select a more uncommon major in addition to applying early, it will increase my chances even more! even though I would have no interest in continuing that major if i got accepted! </p>
<p>Picking an uncommon major solely to try to increase your chance of admission is a bad idea. They’ll notice something is up if your stated major has no visible connection to any of your extracurriculars. Besides, since you have the option of stating that you’re “undecided,” your choice of major couldn’t have that much influence.</p>
<p>From someone who was accepted this year, you definitely have a shot. However, admissions are crazy and people with perfect SAT/GPAs get turned down. Spend time on the essay. That’s probably what got me in.</p>
<p>You definitely have a shot, but so do thousands of other people, some of whom have better qualifications and still get rejected. </p>
<p>You can’t get rejected EA, you can only get deferred. So if Georgetown is truly your dream school, apply early. It gives you a better chance since your application is read twice even if you get deferred and only highlights your interest in the school.</p>
<p>The major isn’t going to make a difference unless you have ECs relating to that area or truly show a passion for it.</p>
<p>You might want to think twice before applying EA to Georgetown with your Junior year grades not showing your true ability. Your best application will be one that shows your first semester senior grades more in line with your earlier performance.</p>
