Shot at Georgetown SFS or Princeton?

<p>Gender: Male
Income: ~40k/yr gross
URM?: White, but 1st gen college</p>

<p>Intended Major:
International Relations/Economics/Middle Eastern Studies</p>

<p>GPA UW: 3.83
Weighted: 5.10
Class Rank: 5/650</p>

<p>Subject Tests:
MathII- 770
US Hist- 770
Literature- 640 (grrr)</p>

<p>SAT: 1540/2220
CR 760
Math 780
Writing 680</p>

<p>APs: Taken 11, passed 10 (5s on...6 of em?)
IBs: Taken 2, passed 2</p>

<p>12 APs by graduation, 6 IBs, 10 Dual Enrollment classes</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Debate (captain, won lots of awards), political interning & campaign work for congressmen/state legislators, environmental work/community organizing (won presidential environmental youth awards certificate for efforts), various leadership academies (former governors, congressmen, etc hosting them), History Club (president), President of a political group on campus before changing to other party, lots of teaching (aftercare about environment, nonprofit camp, migrant preschool, and a lot more through an internship with a dropout prevention program, etc), studied foreign language abroad last summer, flown to DC & hosted as keynote speaker for Jr. National Youth Leadership Conference, some other stuff.</p>

<p>So basically, I see three weaknesses: for princeton, my writing SAT score (they only consider 2 SATIIs). for Gtown my SATII Lit score (even though i did get a 5 in AP Lit) as they don't consider writing. and my UW GPA overall (it factors in classes i took in middle school for "high school credit" and screws me over).</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Is there a chance, should I focus on another school, etc?
I'm really open to any recommendations as I'm not sure where I want to go, and also would love feedback as to my chances.</p>

<p>Thanks! =]</p>

<p>Enjoy Princeton.</p>

<p>you’re definitely in range for georgetown, although princeton is a reach for everyone, including you, so I’m not entirely sure what above post means… your EC’s are rather impressive though, so good luck!</p>

<p>thanks guys! anybody else?</p>

<p>1st gen will help, but you still have a very very low shot of getting in at Princeton.</p>

<p>Georgetown looks good, but raise that 3rd subject test as they require 3.</p>

<p>do you think it would make me look like a “serial test taker” to re-take a Subject Test, dkwunw?
Like i don’t want them to think I’m weak in Lit (again, i did get a 5 on AP Lit in 10th grade), but i also don’t want them to think i’m obsessed over test scores.</p>
