<p>oh, i also forgot to add that I made deans list both semesters this year</p>
<p>@KingofSweden have you heard anything back yet?</p>
<p>Was rejected on the 8th. At Duke and loving it B-)</p>
<p>Great to hear!</p>
<p>Can’t tell you definitively (because I’m not a student from Georgetown) but just based on your extra-curricular involvement you have a really good chance of getting in. I’m in my sophomore year at UMass Boston majoring in political science and I gotta say I’m really jealous of what you have already accomplished. Bravo </p>
<p>@"SFS Rules"

Based on the “hard” info you’ve provided, it wont be easy to receive an admissions offer. </p>
<p>You have a good GPA. A 3.55 (30 credits) is good, but try to get it higher. I haven’t seen the latest transfer stats, but past AVERAGE accepted transfer GPA is in the 3.7+ range.</p>
<p>You’re SAT scores are not competitive (GU does not count the writing section). On the bright side, as a Junior Transfer, they may not matter as it will be the discretion of the admissions office to request your scores as part of your application.</p>
<p>Although you have some good ECs from HS, GU will focus primarily on your college ECs/work experience. </p>
<p>But the most important factor will be your essays. If I recall correctly, you require a Dean’s Letter, 1 Letter of Recommendation, and 2 (3?) personal essays. A) The Dean’s Letter is generic and will not affect your admissions decision unless you have academic related issues. B) 1 Letter of Recommendation should suffice unless you feel multiple ones are necessary to “paint” a complete picture of you. C) If presented and written in the right fashion, your personal essays may overcome your SAT and GPA “shortcomings”.</p>
<p>Put your best efforts forward, apply, and see what. Just be sure to have a back-up plan should GU not pan out. Good luck.</p>
<p>@"SFS Rules" So Georgetown doesn’t require SAT scores for transfer applicants with 30+ credits? (I will have 55 by the time I apply) Are you saying they may request to see them, but they don’t require them? My SAT scores were horrible (1680) but I have an upward trend since HS, 4.0 GPA, college EC’s, etc.</p>

Thanks for pointing out the SAT requirement for transfer applicants. SAT scores are required of ALL transfer applicants unless the applicant has been out of HS for more than 5-years. However, when I applied to GU, I was well over the 5-year exception, but GU still requested my SAT scores.</p>

<p>@"SFS Rules" any idea on how much it is factored into admission decision considering my stats? Will they see that I’ve grown side HS and be slightly forgiving of my lackluster scores?</p>
