Time for my weekly paranoid question of "Who here is applying to Georgetown? What are your stats and what school within G-town are u applying to?"

Indulge me, if you would.....

Spent 6 weeks last summer volunteering in Costa Rica w/ CR Humanitarian Foundation, building houses, setting up a computer lab in an elementary school, working at a daycare, building prototype solar oven, and helping distribute 10000 pairs of shoes to poor families

I have the option to use as much time as I want on any test (due to abnormally slow reading and writing speed, as well as concentration difficulties), but, on moral grounds, haven't yet used the option on standardized tests. But to improve my AP and SAT IIs this year so I can become more competetive, I think I'm gonna have to.
Well, those are my stats and a little extra info...what're yours?

Very long shot for me, but I'm applying as well RD to SFS(anyone know how competitive it is compared to their other departments?).

SAT 1: 1380(730v/650m, taking again in Nov.)
SAT 2: Didn't get to take last year due to severe food poisoning the week of the SAT 2's, but I'm taking Math 2C, Writing, and US History next month, and have scored 700+ on all the practice tests and have much more studying to go

My rank is what kills me. I didn't do that well Freshman and Sophomore year and my schools ranks by decile so I'm in the top 30%(in actuality closer to 20% and I'm going to ask my guidance counselor if they rerank after 1st quarter or 1st semester so might hit top 20%).

GPA: 3.4 UW, 3.6W
I've improved bigtime though, I had a 3.7uw/4.0w Junior year. I took tough classes that year and have 5 AP's and 1 Honors this year. Freshman and Sophomore I only took 2 honors each year

EC: 2 years JV Tennis, 2 years Young Politicians Club(hopefully President at elections next week), 3 years Computer Club(VP this year), I've worked the past 2 years which i why I stopped tennis

AP CompSci-4, taking 5 this year

Not sure what kind of hook I'm going to have. I'm a Pakistani male from NJ, parents are immigrants so I grew up speaking Urdu(like Hindi) and Punjabi which look nice for SFS. I've also been teaching myself Arabic on my own lately which is what I hope to continue in college.
