Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a white male from a competetive private school in Tampa Fl. I am in the top 10% of my class with a 4.0 GPA unweighted and will have 5 APs by the time I graduate. My SAT and ACT score however are not great.</p>

<p>SAT I: Writing-690
Verbal- 680
Math-570
ACT- 30
SAT II: Bio-740
US History- 800
Math 570
I am on the editorial staff of the yearbook and have done MUN for 4 years. Also I have been a Writing Center tutor for 4 years and a science tutor for 1.
I was the co-head usher at my school for 2 years and was on the JV soccer team for 2.</p>

<p>Georgetown is never an easy in. You don't have a whole lot of ECs. You have really nice grades, but your SATs are WAY lacking. Take a course and lock those tests up+ you have a good chance. I hope you have a fallback plan aka safeties + matches.</p>

<p>Agree, Gtown will be hard but might look at another Jesuit school-Holy Cross which is easier to get into.</p>

4

<p>sorry
My math SAT I- 640
I think that I fit into the middle SAT range on their data sheet.</p>

<p>I've also volunteered for a local political candidate and have interests in the culinary arts and pre-columbian history both of which will be prevalent in my essays.</p>

<p>I also perform about 110 hours of community service a year
Member of the Spanish Club for 3 years and a school guide my junior year (only time available)
And was a soccer ref for two years
And this past year went on the GYLC trip and participated in the Duke talent identification mini-intro class</p>

<p>Does that help at all?</p>

5

<p>slim chance, your SATs are low no matter what the sheet says. frankly the low scorers like do incredible stuff. you're average w/ low scores</p>

6

<p>What a considred good scores for Georgetown?</p>

7

<p>slim to none.</p>

8

<p>700+</p>

<p>closer to none</p>

9

<p>Georgetown will not be reviewing the Writing portion of the new SAT for a couple of years, so your writing score won't help at all.</p>

10

<p>it is impossible to get into georgetown with a 1200, like do you guys think its unheard of?</p>

11

<p>It happens, but generally only to URMs/people with unbelivable ECs/super athletes/children of library-donors. Take a prep class. It'll do you good.</p>

12

<p>thanks for replying</p>

13

<p>Side note: what does a co-head usher do?</p>

14

<p>ushers take care of the theater during performances</p>

<p>also, my SAT I is 1320 and ACT is 30 , comparable 1320-1350 on the SAT I</p>

15

<p>Yeah I know that, but I was wondering whether being co-head usher is an honor or something. Like whether you do anything different.</p>

16

<p>it could be, you're just in charge of maybye 5-10 other people and go to performances and make sure everything runs smoothly</p>

17

<p>If your EC's is better, you will become a member of georgetown.
good luck!</p>

<p>I've just started my senior year, my high school is 40-60 min away and I cannot drive. Does anybody have any suggestions for improving my ECs?</p>

19

<p>My friend got a 1470 on his SAT's, had like 8 AP's when he graduated, varsity tennis, debate, etc. and was flat-out rejected from g-town...if that gives you a good example of how hard it is to get in. I'm a legacy and I'm not applying, with my "measly" 30 on the ACT's lol.....I can still dream.</p>

<p>Harvard also rejects 1600s (i guess now 2400)
I know somebody who was not in the top 10% get into WashU but not UF.</p>
