Hello all, I am in a confusing situation currently because I am debating whether it even makes sense for me to apply to Georgetown University. I believe my GPA will completely ruin my chances of even being considered. To tell everyone a little about my highschool career, I have been attending a small public school in NYC since my sophomore year of high-school（currently I am about to enter senior year.）Just this past summer I was awarded a scholarship from the Korean consulate general to study abroad in Korea for the entire month of July as a result of my performance in Korean class at school. I have also self taught myself Mandarin Chinese and have been doing so for 5 years. So, I am currently proficient in Korean Chinese and fluent in English. My GPA is quite low because of my sophomore year when my average tended to only be around 82. However I ended Junior year with a 89 average. Seeing as how my school did not offer AP classes until this year, I was unable to take them until now. However, this year I will be taking AP English. Also, I will also be the 12 grade representative for my schools student government and I am a member of photography club and I will join the gay straight alliance this year. I frequently usher at my church on Sunday’s and I am now doing a volunteer internship being part of John Liu’s campaign（he is running for NYC Mayor） My SAT scores are pretty low at 1510 but I hope to raise them to 1900 by December of this year. So my question is simply, does it even make sense for me to apply to Georgetown University?
