<p>I was just wondering, is it impossible to get into tech with somewhat average SAT scores. i have a 3.8 GPA, straight A's in core classes, some B's in a few electives. its a rigorous course schedule with all AP's and calc. my biggest worry is that for some reason my math score stayed at a 590. cr-600 writing-650. my friend got in with a 590, but she is a girl with a higher rank, so i think that went in her favor(not to be mean). I'm top 10%-not sure what exactly, and a foreigner, so i hope that helps. but the main question is, are my chances destroyed because of such a low math score even if i have straight A's in all my math classes and other core.</p>
<p>it depends on which major you are applying to. but yeah, a low math score does not favor you in the eyes of Tech.</p>
<p>Actually according to Tech's website, they do not take major selection into consideration.</p>

<p>I submitted the online application. And I am going to have my counselor send an official transcript to Tech soon. Do I have to do any else? Thank you for your help.</p>
<p>im an architecture major. i also have a good list of ec's. thanks for all the input.</p>
<p>thank you very much Granny. I had CB sent all my scores to Tech already. Do I need to have my counselor send my official transcript now or later when I am accepted?</p>
<p>send your transcript when you are accepted they only look at your self reported academic record now</p>
<p>Thank you. Is anyone from a magnet school? They say they may require additional documents, do you know what kind of documents? I went to a magnet school in my country, and I don't have any document with me except the transcript:(</p>
<p>polopo3 i am right with you. I have a 3.7gpa and only got a 590 in math(have NO IDEA HOW), but i am the Magnet program at my school and im black (hopefully that also boost me up)</p>
<p>I know how you feel,
GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>I don't see how you wouldn't get in. Are you doing this just to get your ego stroked a little?</p>
<p>How can you have a 4.06 unweighted GPA?!
And then a 3.6 weighted? Odd.</p>
<p>I'm guessing he meant the opposite. >_></p>
<p>...or something's gone crazy lol</p>
<p>I got in two years ago with a 3.7 gpa and a 590 Verbal 600 Math 570 Writing (writing didn't count back then :) ). I was also out of state and not a minority. My EC's were pretty legit though...it's all in what you can offer, if one part of your app is weak, make sure the other is good.</p>
<p>I my grades freshmen and sophemore year were not very good. (3.3)
-I just got the acceptance package today.</p>
<p>Hey congrats unc!</p>
