<p>DEFERRED:</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>Not cool. Oh well...</p>
