<p>I am currently a Junior at a decently competitive high school instate.</p>

<p>I have had straight a A's since beginning of Junior year, and have showed a huge improvement since freshman and junior year. Also, I have taken 3 AP's in total so far and got 4's and 3's on them.</p>

<p>My stats are:
GPA uw: 3.34
GPA w: 3.5</p>

<p>SAT: 2110
Math: 750
Reading: 720
Writing: 640</p>

<p>I am multicultural (white and Asian), if that might also help diversity wise.</p>

<p>EC's:
Will be a 4 year varsity athlete
3 years varsity lacrosse/1 year of JV lacrosse
2 years varisty football/1 year of JV football
1 year of varsity wrestling/2 years of JV wrestling
Hoping to make the All-American Lacrosse team Senior year</p>

<p>Started a computer and video gaming club at my school</p>

<p><strong>I have talked to the Lacrosse coach for GT and he is interested in having me at GT (will that help?)</strong></p>

<p>Please tell me if I have any chance at getting into GT and any other colleges that I can make it into. Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Scores look good, but your GPA really is holding you back (and GPA has the highest weight on the GT admissions process). Your chances look iffy, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if you get in based on the strength of your scores and ECs. You can get get that GPA up a little (to around 3.6), you’ll be in good shape.</p>

<p>No, it’s a club. Ken has no pull with the Admissions office.</p>

<p>Not really. I’m sure you know that Males, Whites, and Asians tend to be well represented in engineering schools. Blacks, Hispanics, Females, and Native Americans tend to be underrepresented.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, I’m hoping to get straight A’s for the rest of my high school years. If I can, hopefully I’ll make it in.</p>
