<p>Pretty good, but Georgetown is considered a “mini-Ivy”, so you’ll want to bring your extracurriculars, and volunteering up to Ivy standards.</p>
<p>What school are you applying to? The College and SFS are both very competitive to get into so your chances really depend on which of Georgetown’s four schools you are applying to</p>
<p>Looks great keep up the good work, have you taken the SAT, what about subject tests?</p>
<p>Make sure you apply early action. It guarantees your application two sessions of review by the admissions panel. </p>
<p>Also, the admissions panel is heavily comprised of students who are well in touch with what Georgetown’s atmosphere could benefit from, so in your application make sure you convey yourself as a human with intelligence beyond the books. Show how you’re interesting, pull out all the stops showing your unique qualities that could contribute to the campus diversity (something we could always use more of); the reviewers always appreciate a creative essay insightful to the applicant’s life. You can have all the statistical credentials, but if your essay doesn’t demonstrate you as a person, you run the risk of shortchanging yourself and losing the interest of the University in you as someone beyond a statistic.</p>
