Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>I'm applying RD to the college.</p>

<p>My stats are as follows:</p>

<p>White female from affluent NY suburb (no points there). I'm Jewish though...don't know if that makes any difference with the Jesuit Affiliation
VERY competitive public school (Old SAT average = 1300)</p>

<p>GPA: 3.91 uw through junior year (school doesnt weight)</p>

<p>SAT: Math - 720; CR - 720; Writing - 790</p>

<p>SAT IIs: 770 US History; 750 Math IC; 630 Molecular Bio (freshmen yr)...Im considering taking the IIC or spanish in january...any suggestions?</p>

<p>Recommendations: All excellent, best part of my app I think</p>

<p>ECs: Lots of work with autism/special needs people; tennis team captain; president of 1 school club and treasurer of another...lots of dedication</p>

<p>Junior Year Classes:
Advanced Physics - A-
Honors Spanish IV - A
Advanced Latin II - A-
Honors Precalculus - A
English III - A
AP US History - A (5 on AP test...only AP available to juniors)</p>

<p>Senior Year Classes:
AP Calc AB (A- for semester probably)
AP English Lit (A- for semester probably)
AP Spanish Lang (A for semester probably)
AP Macroeconomics (B or B+ for semester)
AP Chemistry (killing me, probably getting my first B for the semester)</p>

<p>I'm nervous that a B or B+ in Macroeconomics will hurt me because I put History down as my possible major. So, what do you think? Will I get in RD?</p>

<p>By the way, think my Georgetown essays are very good</p>

<p>I cannot tell you your chances b/c I've seen people with scores much higher and much lower get in. Predicting is IMPOSSIBLE!!! </p>

<pre><code> Check out the Early Action decisions ( one of these threads...). Its very interesting.

<p>your chances seem as good as anyone's---that's amazing that your school that's public as a 1300 sat average-wowsa!---being jewish will have no effect on your admitance(being catholic would only help a little- nothing else hurts you though)--i went to a g-town program and jewish people from the NY/NJ were almost a majority if you could imagine----haha</p>

<p>all i have to say is one B wont kill you lol...but ya as stated above there seems to be no pattern to acceptances this year :&lt;/p>

<p>ok thank you...yeah, my public school is insane. We had over 60 kids apply early to the ivies or duke or stanford. Lots of competition amongst ourselves.</p>
