<p>I’m looking at all pretty good schools, and I intend to apply to a couple Ivies, as well.</p>
<p>My college list is Georgetown, George Washington University, UPenn, Northwestern, Boston College and American University.</p>
<p>My GPA is a 4.0 [102 weighted], my SATs are 1380 [2050 out of 2400], and I’ve taken one SAT II [I will take another in the fall] and I got a 760.</p>
<p>I’ve done a ton of extracurriculars, including soccer, track, Video Club, SEAS, SADD and the National/French Honor Societies. I’ve been the President of the Debate Team, and a leader in Mock Trial throughout high school. Outside of school, I’ve done volunteer work at the Nursing Home, a pet store, and I had an internship over the summer for the State Assemblyman. </p>
<p>Georgetown’s really my number one, but what are my chances with everything as a whole?</p>
<p>In addition, I have taken a sufficient number of AP classes. My AP grades have been: AP World- 4, AP Language/Composition- 4, AP US History- 5</p>
<p>As for my honors and achievements, I’ve been on the High Honor Roll every quarter since 9th grade. I won Student of the Month once, too. I have also won several French Poetry Contests, as well as the SCMTA Math Competition, and the UCP Trivia Challenge. </p>
<p>In addition to the aforementioned volunteer work, I also tutored small children at a tutoring center for several months.</p>
<p>I have a few questions before I can give you an informed chancing. What Subject Test did you take? The impressiveness of a 760 vaires test to test. </p>
<p>What is the breakdown for your SAT score? And, what school at Georgetown do you want to attend? The School of Foreign Service is much more selective than the others.</p>
<p>We would need to know your rank to really advise. Your SAT scores are going to be a huge issue at any ivy and an issue at Georgetown. Do you plan to retake?</p>
<p>Your volunteer work is extensive enough that it might make up for your not-quite-wildly-amazing-dancing-in-the-streets academics. Any chance that you could retake the SAT? You have a good score, but you really need a great one. I’d say, at this point, that’s your biggest weakness, and the only thing keeping you from having very good chances at most of those schools.</p>
<p>noreally- I am aware of that- I intend to take the Math I and Math II SAT II’s this fall.</p>
<p>And just to be general, I am aware my SATs need to go up. I got a 680 in Math, 680 in Verbal and 670 in Writing. But how are my academics not that good?</p>
<p>I’ve got a 96.5 unweighted average out of 100 [not sure what that is out of 4], I’ve taken all APs during high school, I’ve gotten an A+ in every class I’ve ever been in, and my weighted average is over 101.</p>
<p>Assuming my SATs go up, do I have shot at Georgetown or any of those schools- BE HONEST!</p>
<p>I don’t see anything wrong with your GPA. In fact, you did a decent job with your EC’s (you didnt’ exactly stand out, but your activites reflect a big interest in politics, it’s good that you don’t have random club positions scattered here and there). </p>
<p>For Penn, Northwestern and Georgetown, go for mid 2200s. It’s a big stretch based on your current score, but you would need such a score to legitimately have a very good shot for those three.</p>
Good luck!</p>
