Low GPA, High SAT ?

I know that GPA is more important than the SAT
score, but how much more important is it?

My GPA for freshman & sophomore year remains
just below 3.7 or barely 3.7... probably around
3.67 or something.. but my SAT score is over
2100.

I'm thinking of Georgetown University and the likes..
what are my chances?

Oh, and my SAT II World History score is 700.
I took two APs but the scores didn't arrive yet

WOW! You shouldn't really worry too much JUUUUST yet! The colleges are more interested in your JUNIOR grades so as long as you work extremely hard this upcoming year, i'm sure you'll be fine. Another important factor in college admission is determined by your personal statements.
Here's a copy of what they are looking for from college board:
Admission Policies and Factors

Admission requirements:
  • Interview required
  • Essay(s) required
  • SAT Reasoning or ACT Required (ACT writing optional)
  • SAT Subject Tests Recommended
Very important admission factors:
  • Character/Personal Qualities
  • Class Rank
  • Application Essay
  • Recommendations
  • Rigor of secondary school record
  • Standardized Test Scores
  • Talent/Ability
  • Academic GPA
