<p>Your GPA and SAT scores are both low, but they’re not really low. Not having AP Calculus hurts, but at least you’ve got some level Calc. I’d probably say that it’s a slight reach. If you have good times, you might want to contact the swimming team at Tech to let them know that you’re applying. That might be the push you need.</p>

<p>By the way, Tech superscores ACT and SAT, so there’s no reason not to send the ACT score.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input! I am mentioning swimming because it shows that I was active in athletics throughout high school, not because I intend on being recruited.</p>
