Help: International Relations for average students

<p>Help, I'm an International student and I want to go in Washington University or Georgetown. </p>

<p>My GPA's aren't the best but I'm confident that I'll be getting a high score in SAT (2200-2300) and TOEFL (at least 100/110)</p>

<p>Is Georgetown and Washington U. a big dream? Where do you think I can apply?</p>

<p>What’s your unweighted GPA or your own countries equivalent? </p>

<p>Have you done the PSAT or other practice test to predict such a high SAT score?</p>

<p>Are you and your family able to pay or will you need some/total financial aid?</p>

<p>Hey highland_poppy! Thanks for replying
Unweighted GPA is like 86-88 (that’s a 3.0-3.3, I think?)
I get like 1500 in just Reading and Writing and I’m really trying to ace the math section but the lowest I got was in a line of 5
I’m still looking for a scholarship so yeah, I’m gonna need at least some financial aid</p>

<p>?? the maximum score is 800 in each section, so you could not score more than 1600 in Reading and Writing ?? And what do you mean by Math 5 scores? Do yo mean 500?</p>

<p>Where do you fall in your school gpawise. Top 50%, Top25% or top 10%?</p>

<p>Average students usually don’t get into Georgetown. Do you mean Wash U in St. Louis? That one likes very high SAT scores, as well as gpa.</p>

<p>@BrownParent thanks for replying!
sorry, I double checked, its around 1500 in just R&W (can’t find the exact score)
by a line of 5 I meant 500+
Our school doesn’t really reveal that but I’m sure I fall maybe in the top 50%- I’ll check it out later maybe with the counselor
I really want to go in International Relations and I want to go in a college with a good reputation for the course- do you have any suggestions for me then?</p>

<p>Try University of Washington or any University of California campus. I assume that you are from Korea and these schools are very respected in Asia. University of Washington in particular is very well respected in this field of study.</p>

<p>@OsakaDad thank you! I will consider that and I just read about the school. Yes, I am from Korea- do you think I would have a chance? Thank you for your reply!</p>

<p>Since the OP needs financial aid, the UCs will be unaffordable. </p>

<p>How much can your family afford to pay each year?</p>

<p>Needing a lot of financial aid or scholarships as an international student will severely limit your affordable options.</p>
