Hey guys, just a nervous junior hoping for a quick chance

Colleges & Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>I'm trying for the McDonough School of Business.</p>

<p>My unweighted GPA is a a 3.85 with my district giving 4.0 as the maximum score.</p>

<p>My class rank is 9/118 (top 8%).</p>

<p>The school I go too is a part of the New Tech foundation. They emphasize a new type of approach where students are familiarized with an authentic work environment. Our work centers heavily around presentations, professionalism, becoming acquainted with the uses of technology in today's world, and of course normal high school content. I took one ap class freshmen year and the rest honors. I took all honors classes sophmore year and now 3 aps and the rest honors junior year. When I graduate, I will also have 40+ hours of experience shadowing people in their jobs. This program was implemented to give us a visual view of the real world.</p>

<p>My SAT breaks down like this.
Superscore- 2250
Composite- 1560/1600
CR- 790
M- 770
CW- 690</p>

<p>My extracurriculars are my weakest part. They fail to stick out and this is what worries. When I submit my app, I will only have done them for 1-2 years. I'm going to include on my app that by the time I graduate, I will have done them for 2-3 years.</p>

<p>For my extracurriculars, my big one is FIRST. It's nationally sponsored robotics competition and I'm on the varsity team for it at my school.</p>

<p>By the time I graduate, I will also have 40+ credited hours to job shadowing professionals in their work environments. This is part of my schools program.</p>

<p>I'm in NHS.</p>

<p>I'm also a member of my schools Community Service Club, Debate Club, and International Action Club (this one is part of a national organization).</p>

<p>I took part in a volunteer project at Reagan Wells Ranch over the summer for the international human rights organization.</p>

<p>I worked for Baylor Hospital's community service program.</p>

<p>So my ec's basically list down too:
EC:
FIRST
Debate Club
NHS
Job Shadowing Professionals In Their Work Environments (40+ Hours by graduation)
Interact Club</p>

<p>Volunteering:
Community Service Club
Reagan Wells Ranch Community Service (week long, stay at the ranch project)
Baylor Community Service (month long, go there and work every day project)</p>

<p>If accepted early, Georgetown sends you a letter about what they liked most on your application and how you can continue that in the fall. When you do your app, give them something you excel in that they will want you to continue.
Basically, start winning debate tournaments or planning big community service things and run with it.</p>

<p>Mmmm, that’s interesting. If I were plan community service events, would Georgetown expect me to do them alone/be the leader or would they be happy with me being one of the founders and following through with the experience?</p>
