Admittedly, my average GPA is not too high. I sorta slacked off my two years, but I've been improving since.
Our school's GPA scale is out of 5.3, but the most the top overachievers of our school get are 4.3s-4.5s. I really want to get into Georgetown for its international affairs program.

-I got a 3.45 Freshman yr, then 3.74 Sophomore Year, and right now, I am at like a 4 (roughly). So all togther its like a 3.72 so far.

-My first SAT is a 1920, though I know I can get it to the 2100s by October, maybe even 2200s.

-I just got a volunteer position at the United Nations for the Department of Public Information archiving films
-A for the whole year in Model United Nations Class
-2 years in the Model UN club (4 conferences)
-Perfect Attendance for 3 years haha
-Think I might be able to get a recommendation from a former foreign minister/ambassador who we know
-AP Govt and AP US- both pretty decent grades
-signed up for AP World and AP Euro next year
-Boy Scouts- Life going on to Eagle, but don't think before college
-Environmental Awareness Club Historian
-Active member of Quiz Bowl
-Midnight Run Program that involved going into the city to drive around and give food to the homeless.
-JV Track for 2 yrs
-Wind Ensemble (we played at Carnegie last yr)/Made it into concert choir (more advanced course) for next year

my D wants to go to Georgetown for Internationals Studies too !!! it's her dream school. she has 3.8 gpa/ 5.3 weighted she got 2000 SAt / 30 Act( she is taking them again in june and maybe september ) she is top 5% of her class ( 145 kids ) she is completely fluent in French and Spanish and she is learning Mandarin. She is class president 2 years in a row and Battalion Commander of a Junior Coast Guard program ( the only one in the nation ). She took already French AP in sophomore ( got a 4/5 ) and she is taking 5 AP this junior year and 2 AP next year. she did over 300 community services. Well I think she did great, but do you think is enough for Georgetown ? Thank you for your answers...
