<p>thank you for any help</p>

<p>unless recruited, your chances are rather slim. Look into UMich and UVA. Those might be somewhat easier to get into.</p>

<p>As for my assessment: your SAT (I & II) scores are low, your GPA is low, your SSL are low, and based on your AP scores, your school isn’t that spectacular in preparing you guys so probably not a school gtown is going to recruit most rigorously from.</p>

<p>i am looking into UVA but are my SAT Is really that low? im pretty sure georgetown doesnt look at the writing section and i just retook the subject tests.</p>

<p>Just going by your SAT scores, you’re right, Georgetown does not look at the writing. That being said, a 1440/1600 is a great score, and well within the range for Georgetown based on their reported data.</p>

<p>Other than that, you may have some trouble with your low GPA, low SAT IIs, and ECs - I only see one pertaining to business.</p>

<p>But I am not an admissions officer and this is all I can offer. Hopefully you improved on the Subject Tests on Saturday, I sure hope I improved on the SAT math! Good luck to you, and make your essays great so you can stand out.</p>

<p>to clarify: The SAT comment was specifically directed towards the 700 Math I score and (the abysmally low) 600 SAT II Score. Lots of people will be applying with an 800 on both sections and business is a quantitative field; rhetoric is good but analytical thinking is of greater importance.</p>

<p>i retook both Math I and took Math II this past saturday. i expect much much higher scores after lots of studying so hopefully that will make a difference.</p>

<p>Common guys. Take into consideration that SAT scores are not everything the university is looking for. That would be daunting and otiouse. 2050 on SAT is great score. I wish I had such score, but i am still applying with a little lower socre! I hope to get in. SCORES are not everything, are not imperative.</p>
