<p>sat and gpa are too low.</p>

3

<p>If you’re taking Sat II’s, I recommend not doing BOTH world and US history. Do one history test and one from another subject, like math or science.</p>

4

<p>Yeah, I’m probably going to do Math 1 and Literature with those two. Yeah the GPA is from freshman-sophomore year, I doubt it will matter much. What kind of an IB score are these universities looking for?</p>

5

<p>You are so very wrong when you say your gpa from freshmen and sophomore year don’t matter.
Georgetown is a bigggg reach, kid.</p>

<p>What about the rest?</p>
