<p>Transfer admission question </p>

<hr>

<p>hi...I'm a freshman at the University of delaware honors program and want to transfer to GU.</p>

<p>I had a 3.7 out of 4.0 GPA in high school, and so far have about a solid 3.75 in the honors program at U Del.</p>

<p>ACT score 32, SATII US history 800, chemistry 720, literature 690. SATI score is a bit lower, so I'm not going to submit that with my application since ACT or SAT is required. (I hope this isn't hurtful not to submit anyway.)</p>

<p>As far as ECs, to avoid a long an exhaustive list I'll list a few.</p>

<p>Classical piano study, 13 years.
Classical clarinet, 10 years.
member of audition only winde ensemble for last 2 years of high school, dozens of community and benefit performances.
Solo pianist, 2 benefit concerts.
2 years as hospital volunteer
6 months as legal office intern
About another 6 months in a county legislator's office as an intern
spent this past spring and summer as an intern in the town democratic committee as an intern, worked on numerous campaigns and I will have a rec letter from the chair of the committee.
I have done so much since senior year of high school also, and this I think I should express to the GU admissions commitee. My activites inclue the 2006 long island forensics contest (5th place), member of a tournament offshore fishing crew (landed a 500+ pound giant tuna this summer), U. Del college Democrats, University of Delaware Sailing team, Intramural sports club, Intercollegiate studies institute (they give a series of lectures at colleges). </p>

<p>Let me know what you all think. Honesty appreciated, but above all, I would like suggestions on how to enhance my application and how to express that my extracurricular and brain-exercising work has continued since high school and will continue at GU. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance</p>

3

<p>oh well, if you report your SATII scores, they will get your SAT1 score as well</p>

4

<p>his ACT score is really good so I don't think it'll matter if he has a lower SAt score</p>

5

<p>I know they are going to probably see my SAt score since it shows up on my University of delaware transcript anyway but on the actual application there is a space where it asks you to just honestly state your SAT , ACt, and SAT II scores. I want to state my SAT II scores but not my SAT Scores...I have a 1320 which isn't bad, but it just doesn't touch my ACT score. GU's ACT range is 27-32 and I have a 32. Is it deceitful of me to not directly state my SAT score on the application?</p>

<p>I'm also a legacy. (father went there)</p>

7

<p>1320 is a fine SAT score for georgetown, it puts you well into their middle 50%, and your ACT will help set you apart</p>

8

<p>so I guess submitting the SAT I score of 1320 won't hurt me then if I also submit my ACT of 32? I definitely want the committee to see my SAT II scores. Thanks</p>

9

<p>make sure you write down your ACT score first, then SAT1 score. I don't think it will hurt you.</p>

<p>You are almost a shoe-in I think. Just make sure you don't screw up your essays.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot everybody. I know essays are important- the committee doesn't want to read the same, predictable stuff over and over again. I'm trying to be creative. Many thanks,
Brad</p>
