Georgetown vs. American vs. George WA

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I've been looking at colleges, and the colleges in D.C. have my attention. ;)</p>

<p>Which do you think I could get into? Also compare/contrast between the three, or other colleges that sound like they would fit me.</p>

<p>I am a junior in high school (I still have plenty of time to college search). My high school is known for being the "most rigorous" high school of the district, and consequently, I have been given the most challenging teachers and courses.</p>

<p>I have a 3.43 GPA, and 7 classes which are all IB.
I am president of 2 clubs, involved in 5 clubs, have over 100 volunteer hours, no sports in high school but I ride horses outside of school.
I have only taken the PSAT so far but with no practice I got a 1600/2400 (I know, nothing to fawn over -- still have hours of practice ahead of me).
Financially, I would be considered middle-class, but I have 3 1/2 years paid-in full to ANY college of my choice. There is a possibility I will not have to pay a dime for college (I have never felt so lucky in my entire life :'))</p>

<p>Thank you! :)</p>

<p>Georgetown is much the best, but will be quite difficult with your stats. GWU is next best, but Very Major Expensive, so make sure you’ve talked with whoever’s providing your money. What might be 3.5 years at one college might not go so far at GW… American is the worst of the three, but still quite respectable, especially for international affairs/politicsy things.</p>
