[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, he has a 3.92 UW, 4.7W GPA. Nothing low about it. Also he's retaking the SAT this month and next, 780 math, 700 reading so he can superscore higher.  [/quote]

Georgetown wants top of the class.  What is OP's ranking in school? 
Georgetown is highly GPA sensitive.  3.92 is good for many schools, falls short for Georgetown.  You really need 4.0 uw to have a chance.  
Forget about merit.[/quote]

Not true at our private.[/quote]

Georgetown is a far easier admit from DMV schools, especially private, than it is for the rest of the country. They respect the grading of the local privates and will take unhooked kids squarely in the middle of the class or even below because they know these schools and know how hard they grade. If you're coming from the rest of the US it's a really challenging admission. [/quote]

While I agree with the first part--they do like the local private school kids--no way they take one not in the top 10%, unless hooked to a major donor or an athlete. Both of those student profiles depress the stat ranges. If your kid is not one of those-and by the way, mine are, so I am not knocking them, they are lucky lucky kids--they will not be admitted to Georgetown unless in the top 5% of their class.[/quote]
