What are my chances of getting in Georgetown?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Getting accepted into Georgetown has been my biggest dream, I want to study International Relations and Security Studies.
I slacked off a lot in ninth grade, but I have gotten perfect scores sophomore and junior and I will be starting senior year soon and will keep this streak. I will take the ACT, SAT, and TOEFL Ive already started studying so I will do my best and aim for high scores.
Do you think the following scores would look good on my curriculum?
GPA: 3.4
ACT: 33
SAT: 2150
I have many extracurricular activities in many sports, tennis, voleyball, soccer, and model UN.
Does it help I took IB courses? and IB wise I ended with 39 points over 45.
I was one of the head volunteers that helped raise funds for families in the Philippines affected by typhoon Haiyan recently.
I also speak seven languages fluently if it means anything.
English, Portuguese, German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic and Pashto and speak some Hebrew.</p>

<p>Would they consider me?
I really want to get in; with DC being the capital of the US and studying my major it seems ideal, I will do my best in the essays, interviews, etc.</p>

<p>Would you recommend me other universities that are Georgetown level or have a high reputation with International studies, i'd like to have some alternatives.</p>

<p>Some colleges don’t look at your freshman year or factor it into your cumulative GPA. Do you know if Georgetown does?</p>

<p>I can’t find any information that says otherwise so I believe it does take freshman year into account.</p>

<p>I can’t seem to find their average freshman weighted/unweighted GPAs. But based on the fact that the average Georgetown freshman was in the 95th+ percentile at their high school, and the fact that I don’t think 3.4 GPAs, unweighted or weighted, are at the 95th percentile (I could be wrong about this), I think your GPA is on the low side. Basically everything else on your transcript looks great. While there’s no harm in applying (you might just get in), I don’t think you’ll get in simply because there are people out there with the ECs and SATs/ACTs that you do, and they have a higher GPA.</p>

<p>I would say it is a bit of a reach. Your GPA and SAT scores would be a little low. Buy the SAT blue book and take all of the practice tests (yes, all of them) and make sure you get a good score.</p>
