You have a lot of ECs, if you have leadership positions within them then I would say you have a good shot. 59% of applicants ranked no. 1 get into Georgetown (I'm also applying there EA, I'm not just a fountain of knowledge), and despite mediocre SATs (what happened?) everything else looks great. Worst case, re-take the SAT, get a 1400, and you're set in the Reg. Decision pool. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback. As for the SAT scores, I have always been horrible at standardized tests. (I actually has a 1130 when I first took them. Hopefully the admission officers at GT won't hold these scores against me too much.

Bridget - take the ACT and submit those scores. They are geared toward students like you who are hard workers but are bad test takers. Try it!
Good luck!
