<p>Sounds like you're in a similiar situation as mine-- haha. Did you take SAT II's? Georgetown requires 3 of them. Being from KS will help, too :) There's not much you can do now, just sit, wait, and hope...</p>

<p>Im a junior lol, so ill be in this same situation next year this time.</p>

<p>I thought georgetown however was "recommended" for SAt II's</p>

<p>"recommended" = politically correct "required"</p>

<p>And you don't stand a chance with a 29. You're competing with Asians who have similar activities/schedules but much higher scores. I suggest getting Barron's and studying HARD. No excuse for <34 on math, no excuse for <34 on English. Reading could be a soft spot for slow readers and science is a matter of how much exposure you got in school. Good luck!</p>

<p>my D has an 31 SAT and i think it's</p>

6

<p>^sorry, i did not finish my sentence... so i think it's a little low for Georgetown, however i still think we never know with admission officers!</p>

7

<p>If you've taken the ACT with writing you don't need to take SAT subject tests.</p>

All candidates, whether they submit scores from the SAT or ACT, are requested to submit scores from three SAT Subject Tests of their choice. The scores from writing portion on the SAT and the optional writing portion of the ACT will not be used in place of a Subject Test

<p>whoops, my bad. most schools let you opt out of subject tests if you've taken the ACT. sorrrry</p>

<p>I read the same.</p>

<p>I don't think that a 29 will totally break you, as long as the rest of your app is solid and you have your SAT IIs. My EC's aren't nearly as good as yours, but they took me ED with a 33. And (apparently--I didn't realize this till later) ED's actually harder to get into than RD. So you still have a definite chance.</p>

<p>I think being from Kansas will help you immensely.</p>

<p>I got in early this year and I only had two. 690 M2 and 750 U.S. History. But they want three SAT IIS for regular decision.</p>
