I am a rising junior at a public school and I really want to know whether I have a shot at Georgetown.
SAT: 2200+ (Still studying to take official, hoping to get near 2300)
SAT II: Math II 700+, Literature 700+ (Based on practice tests, still studying hard!)
GPA: 3.85 unweighted
AP’S: World History, Psychology, Calculus AB, Spanish Lang, US History, Biology, Eng Lang (maybe 3-5 Senior year)
EXTRA/CLUBS: NHS, NHHS (Hispanic Honor Society), NAHS (Art Honor Society), Speech+Debate (Currently Speech lead, aiming on president by senior year), Mock Trial (President), Model UN (Secretary, aiming for president), School Newspaper (currently News Editor, good shot at EIC next year), Rowing Coxswain (however going to quit soon due to time commitment), Art Club (Secretary), JSA
AWARDS: Voices of Democracy Speech comp WA Top 10, Americanism Essay Competition 1st in region, Winterlake Speech Competition 3rd in Oratory (going to many more speech competitions for school next year), many miscellaneous Asian writing/speech competitions, School volunteer service award for 100+ hours every year, nominated best witness each year for Mock Trial
JOBS/VOLUNTEER: President of my city’s chapter of a woman’s anti-abuse organization, Internship at an Adoption Organization, Teen Link volunteer, Arts Museum volunteer, Church Orchestra, and the usual food packaging type of volunteer work that everyone does
NOTE: Compared to other students, I am quite weak in the GPA/Test scores area, but I am strong in the writing/speaking department. I have been trying to compensate with extra-curriculars to somehow make up for not being super smart. I used to be in many science+math clubs freshman year, but I shaved those off quickly for sophomore year because I knew I wouldn’t go towards those fields. I have always been recognized for my writing so I will make sure to write killer essays.
Thank you!
