Urgent Chances (can't decide about EA) PLZ!

<p>Hello everyone, thanks for looking at this. I really love Georgetown, i just hate the whole policy how you cannot apply ED to anywhere else (Duke) and I really want to know my chances because that will mold my decison. </p>

<p>I will decide between Georgetown College and Foreign Service school b/c i really love foreign affairs and thats my passion and background. </p>

<p>Location: Large Public High School in SC 2300 + students</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Indian</p>

<p>GPA/Rank: 4.0 UW and 5.1 W Rank 3/510
I will have taken 14 AP's by graduation.</p>

<p>SAT/SAT II's:</p>

<p>This is my weakest part of the application and I know will be the decider, just like the other kid on this forum.</p>

<p>SAT: 1320/1980 - I am going to take one more time, but I like to expect the worse. </p>

<p>SAT II's: 760 - US History, 710 Biology</p>

<p>Extra-curriculars: (strongest part of my application)</p>

<p>*I am the Youth Governor of South Carolina's Youth In Government Program, i serve over 1200 students all over the state and I have made significant changes to the program that will last throughout the program.</p>

<p>*Speech and Debate, I served last year as Captain of the largest team in SC, winning 3 state championships. I won 1 state championship this past year and I have qualified to the National Forensic League Nationals 2 times in a row.</p>

<p>*Boy Scouts, I am currently working on my Eagle Project in order to attain my Eagle Badge. I am working with the Red Cross, running a community-wide drive to collect stuff for "care-packages"
As a Boy Scout I am currently serving as a Den Chief, i go to Cub-Scout meetings and lead a Den every Monday, I also served as several leadership positions in my troop.</p>

<p>*Youth Leadership Greenville, A selective leadership program that lasted 1 year, i recently graduated, it is run by the Chamber of Commerce.</p>

<p>*Vision 2020 for Science, A selective group of students were chosen to design a state of the art science facility in our community, the project will be completed in December, and we all get scholarships along with it.</p>

<ul>
<li>Beta Club and National Honors Society - Basic service and volunteer clubs, nothing important.</li>
</ul>

<p>Basically with my EC's i like to stress Leadership and Service in everything I have done in high school, all my activities represent that. And as a leader, I go beyond serving, I try to implement changes that last.</p>

<p>As you can see my EC's and GPA/Rank are good but my SAT 1320 is what I am really worried about in getting into georgetown. Does anyone have any comments, or anything that will be of benefit to me, thanks a lot.</p>

<p>o and im sure SFS considers languages as well:
i have 5 years of spanish
and i know dialect of hindi</p>

<p>definitely retake your SATs to try to get your CR/math above 1350/1400. If I may suggest, take the ACT in the fall, you might do better on this test than the SAT in comparison, and it could bolster your admissions profile. Otherwise, your rank, GPA, and EC's are outstanding, and in my non-professional opinion, you'd probably have a decent chance of getting in with strong essays/interview/recommendations. However, I'd probably suggest not to try early action, because chances are, they are looking for just the right combo of SAT scores/grades, and you wouldn't be a top runner with mediocre SAT scores (I can relate completely). Regular decision is probably your best bet, early action has the same admit rate as Regular decision anyway. Good luck</p>
