<p>I am late to post, but I told myself I would only post stats after all colleges have made their decisions on me. Since this is now true, I give you this…</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted
Applied on Oct 31 for round 2, accepted around 12/20/08 or thereabouts.
Accepted also for Computer Science major.
Not a PSP semifinalist</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<ul>
<li>SAT: 800 Write, 780 Math, 750 Read</li>
<li>SAT IIs: 800 Math 2, 790 Physics, 760 US History</li>
<li>ACT: 34</li>
<li>GPA: 3.96</li>
<li>Rank: top 3%</li>
</ul>
<p>Subjective:</p>
<ul>
<li>Essay: Okay. A bit too long, in retrospect, but it got the job done. Talked about how I’ve been doing engineering/techy shtuff since I was a kid</li>
<li>Teacher Recs: n/a</li>
<li>Counselor Rec: n/a</li>
<li>Hook (if any): Nope</li>
</ul>
<p>SAT: 790 Math, 740 CR, 800 Writing
SAT II: Math II 800, Physics 800
GPA: 3.69 something UW but the system is dumb, and a 90-92 = 3.333…, 93-96 = 3.6666…, 97-100 = 4.0, etc down through the Cs and 0-69 = 0
Rank: 9 of 560</p>
<p>Essay: Not very polished. At all. But I’m a quick writer so I dunno.</p>
<p>State: TX
School: Public
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Male</p>
<p>Seriously considering this school. It’s this versus UT.</p>
<p>International student (India)
Intended Major: BME
SAT: Math-760, CR-530, Writing-690 (1980 total)
SAT II: Math level 2 760
Toefl ibt: 110/120
Josef Silny GPA: 3.72
IB Diploma student: Predicted grade: 39/42
Subjects: Math HL, Chem. HL, Bio HL, Physics SL, French ab. & Eng. SL
Rank: 4 out of 90
Essay: Very Good according to me (indicating my interest in BME on the topic how I would utilize my time if taking a gap year)
Decent ECs (summer internship related to BME in hospital for 2 years, community service, MUNs, winner of state quizes etc.)
I think my not so good SAT score was compensated by good IB grades with a tough science combination & interest in intended major.</p>
<p>Major: Mathematics of some sort
GPA: 3.96/4.713
Rank: 4/81
SAT: 1530/2260, 800 M, 730 R, 730 W
SAT II: 800 Math 2, 710 Physics
ACT:31 CR, 34 ENG, 35 M, 36 S = 34 Composite</p>
<p>Im deciding between here and FSU… I want a social life, idk if gatech is the best place for that.</p>
<p>Improved SAT score was nearly 2000, was sent to other colleges.
Sent, way lower scores to GT and got still accepted!!!
GPA was UW 3.97 and W was 4.30.
Got accepted to GT but will not be attending.</p>
<p>I’m going to disagree with G.P. on GT being notorious for putting more weight on GPA than SAT. For years, GT has taken very bright kids with lower GPAs in order to jack up the SAT average. That seems to have changed <em>just</em> this year, given the number of people recently complaining about not getting in with higher test scores and lower grades. They were surprised by the shift in priorities from GT. With 10% more apps this year, Admissions could have jacked the SAT average even higher, but it looks like they put more weight on grades.</p>
