SAT - 2090 (just retook saturday and hoping for better) 740 CR, 610 M, 740 W
SAT II - 770 world history, 750 US history, 700 spanish, 680 spanish w/ listening
APs -

Currently taking: AP Government, AP Macroeconomics, AP Spanish, AP French, AP English Lit, AP Calc AB, Physics, and Psychology</p>

<p>Studied abroad twice in Spain over the past 2 summers, taking courses in Spanish language and community service</p>

<p>President of National Honor Society and my high school's JSA chapter, officer in Multicultural Group
Member of Foreign Language Society, Spanish Club, French Club, and Rotary Interact (international community service organization)</p>

<p>For my intended major of linguistics, i should also note that i taught myself french throughout my sophomore year and the summer of 2008 to the level where i am currently taking AP french. additionally, i have started teaching myself russian this summer and will continue to do so throughout the school year to prepare for college courses.</p>

<p>So, assuming my interview/essays/recommendations are all stellar, what would you say my chances are?? This is the one school that I have my heart set on after weighing all my options, and I can only hope that I can be admitted to the FLL to study linguistics and global cultures.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I don’t know anything about these things, but it looks like you have a good shot. But G-town is pretty competitive I believe.</p>

<p>Georgetown is really competitive, but it is really good that you are Hispanic and going for languages (they really love diversity). I still think its a slight reach though with your sat scores. Get them up to 2150 and its a high match.</p>
