What do i need to get on my sat and act?? Just give me pointers on ways to better my chances... My other college choices are Columbia, New York University, University of Miami, and University of Denver..</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>I will break down your post. Forgive me for its length. Also, ya might wanna proofread next time, aight?</p>
<p>First of all, you’re a sophomore. You still have plenty of time to screw up that lovely GPA of yours (just kidding, but it’s true). I don’t know if Georgetown does it, but some schools re-calculate applicants’ GPAs to see where they’re at with one another (each secondary school is different, ya know?). So maybe Georgetown will put you out of your worry by doin’ the GPA conversion for you. :-)</p>
<p>There is no magic formula to get you into Georgetown (or any other competitive college, for that matter). You have some sort of a legacy, so it might boost your application a wee bit.</p>
<p>The 3 languages there are pretty cool.</p>
<p>“I will honestly give up my life doing just school work forever just to get into this school!!!”</p>
<p>This is one of the worst ways to “prepare” for Georgetown. Don’t be a zombie; be an interesting person. All college admissions officers really want to see are interesting people (with good grades, they hope). </p>
<p>Feel free to send me a private message if you want further clarification (or you need a complete stranger to vent to). :-)</p>
<p>Good luck, Conner!</p>
