<p>Hi all. I applied early to G-town and am currently flailing between gloomy depression and tentative optimism about my acceptance to Georgetown. Any estimations would be greatly appreciated:</p>
<p>SAT- 800 Verbal, 670 Math = 1470
SAT II's- 800 Writing, 770 Literature, ??? US History (just took it on the 4th, won't factor into their decison, I think)</p>
<p>High School Average ~91. (My school doesn't convert to 4.0, nor does it have weights. The only practice is that honors and AP courses recieve +3 points to marking periods and exams)</p>
<p>My school doesn't rank, fortunately. I am still probably in the ~15-20th percentile in my class, however. Not good.</p>
<p>VERY heavy courseload, with 10 AP or honors courses over 4 years. Limited selection of honors and AP's. Basically, I took honors or AP in every language course (Latin II through V as honors, Italian I through III, with only III available as an honors), english course, or history course, while taking regular math and science courses. For my junior and senior years I took 7 major subjects instead of the usual 6, which meant that I had no free periods and toughened my courseload considerably.</p>
<p>2 extraordinary reccommendations (par for the course at G-town, I'm sure)</p>
<p>2 very well-written essays</p>
<p>EC's:
NHS
NMS Commended
Model UN participant, elected president
Forsensics Speech and Debate participant, award winner
School Newspaper
Rugby
Boy Scouts (Eagle Rank to be awarded)
Italian and Celtic Clubs
Spent a week at Georgetown, on campus, over the summer for a Foreign Relations Program</p>
<p>Job:
Intern at JP Morgan for 5 months now, at $10 an hour</p>

<p>So, do I have a shot? My Achilles heel is my average, I know. I have some ugly math and science grades which pull it down. I come from a relatively tough Jesuit school in Jersey City, but not extraordinarily difficult. I am demographically crap: white, suburban, upper-middle class male. Sorry, Affirmitive Action Gods.</p>
<p>PS- I'm applying to Swarthmore, Amherst, Columbia, UPenn, and Williams as reaches. I'm also applying to Tufts, Lehigh, Bucknell, and others in that vein as relative safetys. Thoughts on those would be appreciated as well, but it's Georgetown that's causing most of my sleepless nights. Thanks a lot in advance!</p>
