<p>.. do I have a chance?</p>

<p>-Caucasian male living in the metro Detroit Area
-Dual citizenship (Belgian and American)
-I was born in Michigan, but when I was 10 months old, I moved to Germany where I attended kindergarten and elementary school run by the Belgian army. I went to a German middle school and partly high school, and in 2007 my parents and me moved back to Michigan. Back in Michigan, I had to go to an American high school, which was difficult since I never spoke English before.
-Fluent in German, Dutch/Flemish, French and English
- I attended a full IB school, International Academy (ranked the 6th best high school in North America)
-All of my classes (8) are IB classes
-Unweighted GPA is 3.42, but weighted GPA is 4.55
-ACT score: 27
-Sports:I play Varsity football and fence with my church
-EC and leadership: I am Editor of the school newspaper, member of the German Honor Society and club officer of the German Student Association.
-Honors: I got multiple letters of recommendations of my teachers, awards for being excellent in both German and French
-Approximately 50 hours of community service.</p>

<p>In addition, I am accepted into Georgetown's International Relations summer program, and want to join the ROTC program when I am in college.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Thanks for the answers in advance</p>

<p>I was going to say raise your ACT score, but that’s an amazing score for someone whose first language is not English.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a pretty good chance.</p>

<p>Yes, I would agree that you do have a fairly good chance of acceptance. As an ordinary applicant, your ACT would be far too low, but, given your circumstances, you should be fine. Did you try the SAT at all- it is at least worth a stab, and you probably should get subject test scores too, even if they aren’t required. </p>

<p>Also, you’re going to love that IR summer program. I did Georgetown’s American Politics program last year, and it was phenomenal. Many of my “classmates” had done IR the week before and were thrilled about it. A word of caution though: you will probably leave the program wanting to go to no other college. Good luck.</p>
