You sound like a very competitive applicant to Georgetown. I think you have a great chance. If I had to be picky about anything, your SAT is slightly low relative to the university average but not bad at all.

Best of luck this fall!

Oh yeah, that’s definitely an area I’m looking to improve in!! I just finished my junior year, and I’m actually taking the ACT tomorrow, and I’m hoping to replace my SAT score with that one! Also, I will be retaking the SAT IIs in August in hopes of better scores!! In your opinion, what is a good SAT II score for Georgetown? ACT? Thanks so much for the help!

I would try for around a 700! SAT subject tests aren’t the most important part of the application, so don’t stress about them too much! :-bd
