<p>Hi! I'm presently a junior from California and I would absolutely love to go to Georgetown University as a bio major and then apply to their biology of global health program. fI don't know what my chances are, however...I think they're low. What do you think?</p>

Attend a public school in California, in top 25%
SAT I (superscore): 2140 (680 CR, 730 M, 730 W)
SAT II: 680 Math 2, taking Bio and USH later this year and am expecting to get over a 700 on both
GPA: 3.75 weighted, 3.65 unweighted. The only 'C' I have is in Calculus, but colleges see it as weighted I think (I hope!)
AP: taking Calculus, APUSH, and English Lang. Next year I will take English Lit, Statistics, Bio, and Spanish.
Junior Course Load: Spanish 3, Physics honors, AP Calculus AB, APUSH, journalism, AP English lang

<p>I'm really worried...I'd love to go to Georgetown, but I'm not sure if I've got what it takes. What other schools offer similar programs that are more within my reach, and what can I do to improve my chances at ANY school?</p>
<p>Thank you SO SO much!</p>
