<p>I've read that they don't count freshman year, this true? Could you guys also tell me how well I'd fair for Georgetown? Thanks.</p>

<p>All those EC's, I've done since 10th grade, cept for key club, started that in 9th grade.</p>

3

<p>bump........</p>

4

<p>please.....</p>

5

<p>Who are you kidding? You're in.</p>

6

<p>So what happened freshman year? Assuming it wasn't a disaster, I'd expect you
to be accepted at Chicago and Georgetown, if your essays were appropriate.</p>

7

<p>Well, with freshman year, it's actually 3.9083 unweighted and 4.288 weighted. I only excluded b/c I was assuming University of Chicago doesn't count freshman year but I might be wrong on that so yeah, what I just wrote is my "real GPA."</p>

8

<p>Chicago counts all four years. Why Chicago? That's the biggest unknown here.</p>

9

<p>I'm pretty sure UC counts all 4 years
but you should be fine
the extracurriculars are good and the test scores are solid
you should get in =]</p>

<p>Well, I've been on the campus and it's just one of these feelings, like a surge of excitement that just penetrates your system when you go to the campus. Plus, I want to major in political science and Chicago has a great program and so does Georgetown, I mean to study political science at a university that offers great opportunities because of its location in D.C. is killer! The Ivies are the best to study things like political science but I really don't see myself in any Ivy League. I mean Harvard and Yale sound intimidating even though they might not be b/c students at Ivy Leagues aren't the typical examples of "stiffs," meaning boring uptight people but I would feel much more relaxed and at ease at Chicago and D.C. I mean seriously, it's Chicago (awesome place both for non academic things) and it's D.C. (right where it all goes down). To answer that's why.</p>
