I'm a junior too, so I don't have much idea.
But it seems like if you work hard and do well on the satII you could have a chance at georgetown.
I would just definately work to stress your interest and involvement in international relations...cause thats the focus

good luck!

Your SAT scores are murdering your chances. Get them up. Then you'll have a decent shot.
