<p>thank you for all your help everybody!
@jgraider - i have tried to bring the sat ii’s up
my current scores:
us history - 730
chem - 690 (bad, i know)
spanish - 770
math 2 - 730</p>
<p>honestly, do you think thats ok? i know 730 is high but could be higher but im not planning on retaking…i was hoping the 2360 would make up for it 
and i took 3 ap’s this year (my school doesnt offer that many) in apush, latin vergil, and english lit and got all 5’s so hopefully that will help as well.</p>
<p>thank you to all the people that recommended georgetown. i have a question about it and would love some feedback though -
i am not 100% sure i want to do IR, i just know that it is the major i am most interested in right now. therefore i do not want to apply to teh school of foreign services at georgetown because i want the option to change majors. so my question is: can you major in IR at the regular georgetown college of arts and sciences?</p>
<p>@nanquanmikey: wow thanks for all your detailed help!! could you please give me some more details on yale and the jackson institute? from what i gleaned from the website, the interdisciplinary IR major focuses a lot on economics and even has a requirement in science, which i am not interested in. i’m more interested in the culutral diplomacy and political aspects of IR. so could you please comment on what the IR experience at yale is really like?</p>
<p>so far i am applying to yale princeton penn and georgetown for sure. i am trying to decide with possibles and safeties right now. thanks for your suggestion about gwu, but learning that it is the most expensive school in the country for little reason is pushing me away from it. U chicago is great but too far away from philadelphia, where i live.
i am thinking of tufts, william & mary, and maybe lehigh as safeties…i would prefer places with good merit scholarship opportunities (i dont qualify for financial aid). any suggestions?</p>
<p>THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH <3</p>
