Georgetown University— Chances of me getting into SFS?

Congratulations - you have an excellent profile. You’ll want to expand/describe upon your ECs and quantify - and as for Rep Levin, make sure he knows you. If he doesn’t, but someone else does - have them write the letter. A name, on its own, isn’t worthy.

As for the Gtwon app - it’s separate from Common so in many ways duplicative. Perhaps I’m missing something but it seems to me they allow one teacher and that’s it - so no Rep Levin, etc.

Georgetown accepted 13% of apps this year - a bit higher % than previous as the # of apps declined.

Georgetown rates a lot of areas as very important - and the SAT is one. So your score is at the 25th percentile - so it’s possible - but a stretch for admission. On the flipside, your outside of academics are strong and that is important and your ethnicity (middle eastern) will be considered. Should your SAT go up, I’d say you have a better than average chance - but unfortunately that doesn’t leave a great chance. But no reason you can’t get in. With the 1410 though, it will be tough - and remember, Gtown requires you to submit all tests, not just the bests so if you take it again, you don’t want to go down.

So you have Gtown, Princeton, Brown, Duke, and JHU and that’s great and I wish you luck at all.

But what are your targets and safeties. These are far more important.

Let us know if you need help identifying.

You’ve done a great job and I hope it works out for you. Actually, it will work out for you - Gtown or otherwise as you are clearly a go getter.

Best of luck.

WIth Gtown, you have to submit all the SATs. You’re right at the 25th percentile - so any points you can get additional will help
