<p>Thanks for tryna help me-I just moved back here from a 5 year exile in india but its really one of my dreams to get into georgetown..can u plz tell me how i'd do?
I got 1420 (m&r) on sat-720 math 700 reading 590 writing(highest is 620)
I'm taking AP bio and AP calc AB this year, I had straight A's in 9th and 10th grade (except in Hindi in which I got B's) I moved up to a very rigorous curicullum in 11th grade(in India) and got a few C's and B's but now that I'm back here I have A's in all my regular classes but a B in Calculus and a C in Bio(the objective nature of tests is very different from the subjective kind we had there so I might adapt in only a few weeks)
I was the vice-president of the student council in 9th & 10th grade, president of Speech & Debate Team, volunteered at orphanages, captain of few minimal groups, very active in church and mentoring program. After I came here a few months ago I managed to work (at chuck e cheese!),write for my city student newspaper volunteer @ YMCA, citizen advocacy center, park district, key club, international club leader, Cross Country Manager, Wrestling manager, book rags, etc.
I know there r ton's of more qualified students than me but I hope I'll get a good rec letter from india especially i was ranked within the top 5 in a very big class there. I don't know about my essay, I'll try (does anyone have tips about essay nd the alumni interview?)
I REALLY need to know whether it would be a waste of time for me to apply( i had a college visit and i loved the campus-I sat in a class with an amazing professor who had the best perceptions I also loved the atmosphere there-student body(everyone was smart, friendly, and it seems to provide one of the best environments!), I also want to apply to uiuc, cua, etc.What do u guys think? any feedback is welcome! PLEASE!!!!!!</p>
<p>Definitely apply! You are without a doubt qualified and will never know if you don't try. However, your biggest issue is that taking only two AP classes is not rigorous enough, and getting a B and a C in them isn't quite up to snuff. Your SATs are definitely in range (lucky for you Gtown doesn't look at writing!) but they aren't so spectacular that they would make up for poor grades. Definitely apply, but I wouldn't rate your chances as too high. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Based on your SAT scores, GPA, EC's, and other things you mentioned, I think you definitely have a reasonable chance of getting admitted, though it may be very difficult for you to actually get in. If you are dying to go to Georgetown, why did you not apply Early Action? That might have helped.</p>
