<p>Hi everyone,
I'm a sophomore, but junior year is coming up and I know that can really be a make-or-break time that separates the men from the boys in terms of admissions. My first choice for college is Georgetown SFS, and I suppose this isn't a chance per se, but I'd like some insight into how I can improve my chances of being a competitive SFS applicant or if I am aiming too high. </p>
<p>Basics:
Female
White/Jewish (live in highly Jewish area, we don't send lots to the Jesuit and Catholic schools for obvious reasons)
Competitive Public </p>
<p>GPA:
3.84 UW, 4.49 W (all honors, currently in AP World)
I know this is my weak point! My lowest grades are in maths and sciences, I make As in language, English, and history. Based on last year's and this year's class, I will be top 10% out of a class of 400something.</p>
<p>Standardized Tests:
PSAT (215 with 78 R 60 M 77 W) distribution. I literally own the entire Math prep section of Borders now.
Scheduled to take SAT II in World and Chem this sprummer. </p>
<p>ECs:
since frosh year: Model UN (competitive team, must try out, we do well, may run for prez. sr. year), Current Events Club (this year Veep, next two certain to be prez.), newspaper (this year assis. ed, next two certain to be ed.)</p>
<p>Summer:
last year did IR Class and political philosophy class at local gifted program
this year law class at same gifted program and IR program at Yale</p>
<p>Next year's schedule:
AP Calc BC
AP English
APUSH
French 4 Honors
Bio Honors
new student mentor</p>
<p>Suggestions? Thanks everyone and hope all the seniors are decompressing post D-Day.</p>
