| Truly, I am sure they are high and I am sure he/she is from a good university. I am not getting a good feeling about Georgetown. | |

| I would not worry one bit! As ashamed as I am to admit it, my SAT score was not high - it was below 2000. I did, however, have a 4.0 GPA, amazing reccomendations from my college professors, and well-crafted essays.
I'm Caucasian, first-generation student (born here), and attended public high school.
In terms of my current institution, it is a business college. Enough said. | |

| AT2011: I'm in a very similar position, low SAT's and a pretty lame high school performance in general but solid college performance and I just got into the college.
I'd say college GPA is important along with good essays and post-hs achievement, everything else takes a back seat.
I'm deciding between Emory and Georgetown right now, I'd major in neuro at emory and bio at georgetown, I'm pre-med and I'm interested in international healthcare policy too, and both schools have stellar resources (or are near stellar resources like the CDC/all of D.C.), but I'm giving Emory the edge. If anyone could offer some insight I'd appreciate it! | |

| ha, I got accepted to Gtown as a junior transfer and I too am like AT2011 and DorkAlert: below 2000 SATs, 3.96 GPA, excellent recommendations, and pretty solid EC's. I'm am asian / pacific islander and I went to a public high school.
I agree with DorkAlert, get as high a GPA as possible, convey a good reason for transferring, and show your interests with significant EC's.
DorkAlert: I'm choosing between a full -tuition scholarship at UMD and Georgetown. Perhaps, we can be pre-med buddays at Gtown! | |

| Thanks Milkmagn, I've actually heard some really positive things about Georgetown science though and their med school is a big draw for me, along with D.C.'s resources for my interest in international healthcare policy. I'm a long way off from a final decision. | |
