Very worried about college

3.5 is unweighted, or weighted? (And whichever it is, what is the other number?)

Your chances at Georgetown are not zero, but it is a reach for most unhooked applicants and your GPA makes it more of a reach. Your ACT is in the top quartile, but grades do make a big difference. Getting in is possible, but you need matches and safeties. (As does any applicant to G-town and similar schools unless they have it nailed down because of athletic recruitment or other hook.)

Why is G-town your dream school? Is it the DC location? The Jesuit philosophy of education? The strength of certain programs/majors? What are your academic interests and goals? What’s your home state? What’s your budget, and are you eligible for need-based financial aid that’s in line with that budget, or will you need merit aid or an affordable “sticker price” to make college affordable for your family?
