<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I was just wondering what my chances would be of getting into Georgia Tech. I'm an entering Senior this year.</p>

<p>Here what i have so far:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.1 w (i know its not so great, but only one aspect) <strong>It might also be up to 3.4w (it's a weird situation about transferring.)</strong>
SAT: 1860; 700 Math, 590 Writing, 570 Reading
ACT: 28
<em>by the way, i will be retaking both of those very soon</em></p>

<p>Next Year I'll be taking
AP Comp Sci
AP Stats</p>

<p>I've already taken (didn't do so well though)
AP World History - 1
AP United States History - 2
AP Physics B - 3</p>

<p>Varsity Tennis for 2 Years
Track and Field for 2 Years
Cross Country for 1 year</p>

<p>Community Service: I also have been serving at my church every other week since February.</p>

<p>In about 3 clubs. I'm also planning on creating one this coming year.</p>

<p>Ethnicity: African American</p>

<p>So what do you think?</p>

<p>Uhh, might want to raise up that SAT score, since your GPA is low</p>

<p>Your chances are not very good to be honest.</p>

<p>Your GPA is something like the 5th percentile and SAT score is around 50th for people admitted last year. According to their criteria, GPA is the single most important factor for admission. Since you mentioned your race, I don't believe Tech does race-based admissions, though the university is very popular with black students.</p>

<p>I could be wrong though. Despite what I said, the admit rate to GT is about 2 out of 3, but it's very possible that this number is inflated because it's a public school. Are you in-state or out of state?</p>

<p>Thank you gthopeful.</p>

<p>Frankly, i don't think Georgia Tech is an option anymore.</p>

<p>I say apply for the hell of it, but yeah, your chances don't look too good right now.</p>
