@Shabeezy They were just asking, no need to be rude about it. 8-|
The “chill” comments are unproductive, condescending and completely unnecessary. @Tanisha865 all we know is by April 1. Was earlier last year by a few days but I think right around April 1 the year before.
@pmg2017 this is an applicant discussion thread for chances start your own chance thread
@a20171 I’ve already applied to Georgetown with these stats; I think that is an appropriate post for an “applicant discussion thread.” I’m just looking for anyone with comparable or better stats to tell me where they think they place!
@pmg2017
Gtown is pretty big on SAT subject tests. Do you have any? I have 2, but they want 3.
@Shabeezy Yeah, I do; forgot to include them.
Biology - 700
Chemistry - 740
Math II - 780
@pmg2017
Ok you good. Solid chance
@pmg2017 Did you not take any SAT Subject Tests? That will not help your application.
@Shabeezy I hope so!! I was deferred EA, and it was a real bummer. @Iondondad posted above.
Freaking out cause i only have 2 subjects tests. I shoukf have applied ea so at least it wouldnt look like i didnt put effort into gtown
Do y’all think a 610 on the French Subject Test will be a liability for me? I was deferred EA and I got a 710 in English Lit and a 740 in US History. I love French so my score was super disappointing haha
I’ve honestly given up on georgetown, I have no chance whatsoever
@balletgirl17 big mood i have like in-the-range stats but I flopped badly for my 3rd subject test (which I only took for GU) so idk my chances anymore lmao
^^ same here
I don’t think one low subject test for Gtown is going to be the reason you don’t get in. I think they know a lot of kids only take the third for them (not sure why they still require three honestly…it’s ridiculous in my opinion). If the rest of your app is solid I don’t think it will be a factor, especially if your regular standardized tests are strong. Good luck!
@collegemomjam is correct in saying that one low test won’t hurt you. I had to send FIVE sat IIs (because GTown doesn’t allow score choice) and only one of those was above a 700. I was admitted EA.
I had 2 students get admitted to Gtown, and I think the essays are the most important part of the app.
