<p>Your GPA’s definitely low for Georgetown, but they may forgive that due to your relatively high class rank. Your SAT’s are a little lower than what they like, but if you could raise it by 30-40 points, you should be fine. If you can choose not to send your SAT II’s, that would be best, they definitely bring down your app a bit. You’ve got great leadership positions, which is a big advantage when applying to SFS.</p>

<p>Your ECs are good, but your scores are a bit low…Georgetown requires 3 SAT IIs, so you have to send it in. You face tough competition since you’re from Massachusettes, so I’d make sure I had other choices as well if I were you. But it never hurts to try, since you do have nice ECs (actually, the only hurt you get from trying is a loss of $70 or so. But that’s the application process. =] )</p>
