Georgetown chances!! please help

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi guys! So Georgetown is my dream school (i can't imagine myself anywhere else) and after the acceptance rates went down I became a little unsure in regards to my chances, so if you could chance me for CAS and the McDonough School of Business that would be awesome
Just a little background info, I’m Hispanic and attend a private school on the East Coast. Also, my freshman grades were just awful because of intense personal issues, and I’m hoping they forgive it.
Thanks!</p>

<p>Georgetown: Reach</p>

<p>Georgetown: Low Reach/ High Match</p>

4

<p>OK, Georgetown is a reach but apply EA there…</p>

<p>Rutgers SAS should be a safety, while RBS is a low match.</p>

5

<p>Your steady improvement academically is good and your extracurriculars are strong. I think you are a high match.</p>

6

<p>thanks for the input guys…is there anything i can do to improve my chances? like why is it a reach, my academics?</p>

7

<p>There is nothing wrong with your file, only Georgetown’s acceptance rate is ~16%…</p>

8

<p>I know :confused: just gotta keep my fingers crossed I guess</p>

<p>Hi. THANKS FOR CHANCING ME :)</p>

<p>Georgetown is a great school–I did internships there and know the professors. Everyone is so nice and the campus is beautiful…I totally get why you love it <em>_</em></p>

<p>Your freshman GPA isn’t a big deal… I had 3.2 UW at one point during my sophomore year! As long as you show constant improvement you’re on the right track!
You have strong APs, SATs, lots of leadership positions in your ECs. Your publications are crazy cool. That’s going to give you some extra cookie points! </p>

<p>I think you have a high chance. It’s probably a medium to high target.</p>

<p>Good luck!!! I’m applying too so :D</p>

12

<p>no problem! and good luck on getting into UPenn, I’m super confident that you will.
thanks soooo much for the feedback :)</p>

<p>Looks like a match to me - Georgetown is obviously hard to get into but you seem to be a very strong applicant!</p>

<p>wow thank you!</p>
