<p>try it can't hurt.</p>

<p>Well, you're not in the top 10%, and both of your SAT's are 20-30 points below Georgetown's 25th percentile, so, truthfully, your chances look very slim.</p>

<p>ur gpa is alright, could be better</p>

<p>however, you will really need to get those SAT scores up, and i think december (or is it january) is the last month u can take them</p>

<p>ur ecs are decent (who doesnt love beautiful photography?), but ur interest in german is somewhat dented by ur rather poor score</p>

<p>SFS is the most competitive school for gtown too</p>

<p>id suggest trying, but like nedflanders, i think it will be difficult</p>

<p>If you are really interested in IR why don't you try AU? They have a good school SIS, and you'd still be in DC. I admit its not GU...</p>
