Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>Hello, I am currently a junior (white male) at the most competitive private high school in the midwest. It has a great reputation with many of the top universities across the country. For example we are getting kids with 3.2's and 1300's on SAT's into Washu and USC(La). </p>

<p>There is no class rank system at my school b/c it is so competitive, but I would def. be in the top 30%</p>

<p>GPA Unweighted=3.58
SAT-Math:730 Verbal:700 Writing:700
I have not taken the ACT, and don't plan on it.</p>

<p>I will have taken for AP's by the time I graduate, but I have not taken any AP exams yet so I am unsure of my scores. The AP's are in Economic, Biology, AB calculus, and Statistics.</p>

<p>EC:
Sports-2 years of Varsity Football (I'm not very good)
3 Years of Varsity Wrestling and CAPTAIN of a team of 30. (State Qualifier)</p>

<p>I have been in the Boy Scouts of America for 8 Years and I am an Eagle Scout with many high additional Honors.
I direct and complete service projects once a month with my troop, and I have directed projects with over 200 man hours involved. For Example: I made wallet sized I.D. cards for poor city families and their children. These were equipped with fingerprints and proper photo I.D. and information on the cards. This project was highly recognized and a GREAT success that I will expand on to the colleges. I am of course still a very active member and leader of the troop.</p>

<p>Boy Scouts is the one EC I have totally dedicated my High School life to, so my school clubs are weak with only being an active participant in Cultures Within. </p>

<p>I will have excellent recommendations from my teachers, for I am a hard worker that has a great relationship with all teachers inside and outside of the classroom. And My essays will be great...but this is all incomplete so I can't bank on it just yet.</p>

<p>I am currently undecided, but I am interested in business.</p>

<p>Thnx for all your suggestions and advice!</p>

<p>I think you should be okay. I got in EA this year and I'm probably in the same academic situation, going to probably the best private school in Texas. But on a side note - everyone I see on this board has some ridiculous extracurricular. I had Yearbook and Wind Ensemble, that's about it. Maybe extracurriculars are pretty overrated.</p>

<p>^^ty that helps alot, i will be applying EA as well</p>

<p>I don't get it, 3.2 and a 1300 in WUSTL? I could understand getting in with a 3.2, but if it's so competitive, why a 1300? Or are these separate scores?</p>

<p>they are actually combined, but that is with early decision. A big part of it is that the founder of WUSTL was the same founder as our high school, so that helps a ton.</p>

<p>stlrams2006...hate to burst your bubble, but the best school in Missouri is located on Price Road...not on Warson. Just compare the number of NMSF from the class of 2005...we had 37 semis and 15 commended in a class of 98 kids. What did you have? 15 or so in a class twice the size?!</p>

<p>maybe if you play basketball or if your parents are on the forbes 400...</p>
