Odds at Georgetown SFS- a highschool sophomore

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello, i am a highschool sophomore at a private school. I want to go the Georgetown SFS. i will finish highschool with 3 years of math (up to precalculus), 4 years of english, 4 years of History, 4 years of science(2 of them honors), 7 years of language (4 russian, 3 french), 2 arts, a semester abroad (in switzerland), (and possibly a half summer in kazakhstan.)</p>

<p>if my grades are 3.2-3.4 the whole time, and my boards are 700+ consistantly, and I have a 4 year varsity sport (along with captainship), and I manage to contact the head of slavic studies and promise him another enrolee if accepted, </p>

<p>by the end of highschool i expect to be proficient in french and near fluent in russian. I have worked every summer since age 14, and am starting my own boat cleaning business in addition to maintaining my old job.</p>

<p>what are my odds at georgetown SFS? anyone have any siblings/experiences such as mine?</p>

<p>your GPA is kind of low. I don't know how difficult your HS is, but at the bare minimum you should have top 10%. Aim even a little higher on your SATs and you should be set. Don't be fooled by a lot of Gtown's published admitted statistics - SFS admission is incredibly competitve.</p>

<p>my school is BBN, it's one of the top in the country, and is considered very difficult</p>

<p>go enjoy high school and get back to us in a year - you'll prolly change your mind anyway</p>

<p>on the subject of changing minds i would disagree, i have had 3 years of highschool already (repeated because i applied to my current school a week before it started and there was no more room in 10th) and i have not changed my mind</p>
