<p>You've got a solid chance, your SAT/ACT scores are only <em>decent</em> but otherwise you're a very strong applicant given your classes. Keep in mind Georgetown's applicants are very competitive, so it's still maybe a high match, but I'd say you're in good shape, especially that on collegeboard it says: "School academic record most important" for GT.</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>I did Early action just to see if I could get in with the SAT/ACT scores I already have. I'm already signed up to retake them both in case I get deferred to regular admissions.</p>
