SFS Chances!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>I'm a high school junior, but I've fufilled all my credits so that I can graduate early so that I can be an exchange student next year. I want to apply to SFS and Georgetown is my number one choice!</p>

<p>I go to a not so great public school in Western New York and I'm a caucasian female. </p>

<p>Scores:
SAT: 2190 (740 CR, 650 M, 800 W)
ACT: 32
I took the SAT II in Biology, Math and US History, but i don't know my scores yet. </p>

<p>Class Rank: Salutorian of 500 students
GPA: 3.9 uw</p>

<p>Classes: I've taken all Honors classes and three APs (Macroeconomics, Biology and US History). I don't know my AP scores yet. I would've taken more APs, but I wasn't able to fit it into my schedule because I needed to take required courses in order to meet graduation requirements. Will my lack of APs hurt me or does my situation justify it?</p>

<p>EC:
Varsity Tennis
Rotary Interact Club
Srudent Government Representative
National Honor Society
Science Honor Society
Science Olympiad Team
French Honor Society
I play bassoon in band
Marching Band Pit
Vice President of Band
Volunteer Usher at Opera House
Girl Scouts for 12 years (and I was an assistant troop leader)
...lots and lots of community service hours</p>

<p>Possible Hook: I'm going to be a foreign exchange student in France for 2007-2008 with Rotary Youth Exchange. This is why I had to graduate early. I leave in August and I'm so excited! But I don't know if this qualifies as a hook or not.
I also have really good letters of reccomndations and I hope to write some pretty good essays.</p>

<p>So any opinions or advice on my chances are much appreciated! Thank you!</p>

<p>Your scores put you in the range and your high class rank looks good. You certainly have a lot of ECs but they are scattered and don't really show a passion. The foreign exchange thing is excellent and will look good for sure sure. Still, SFS is really competitive so I'm going to say Georgetown is a slight reach.</p>

<p>Does G-Town care much about SAT IIs or mainly SAT Is for admission purposes ?</p>
