Hey guys.
I was wondering what you thought my chances are of getting into Georgia Tech, and if you could tell me how to improve them.
Currently I’m a sophomore in high school. Last year I had around a 3.4 unweighted gpa, and this year, i will be ending with a 3.71 unweighted gpa. I take all honors math and science, and I’ve taken two science classes each year. This year I have an A and an A- in the sciences, and a B+ in math. Last year wasn’t as good; I had a B and B+ in sciences and a B in math.
Although thats not great, I do offer a few different things to Georgia Tech.
Firstly, I’m a nationally ranked and rated fencer (ranked and rated are different). I go to national tournaments, and will be going to international tournaments next year.
Secondly, I have been recruited by research groups to be a co-author in papers dealing with robotics, and hardware. By the time I am a senior, there should be six scientific papers published in journals with my name listed as a co-author. These are at somewhat well known colleges.
Finally, I started my own club in my school [The Sci-Fi fantasy club (you can probably its a really cool club )], and I play cello in the honors orchestra.
By the time I graduate, I will have taken 5 APs.
If anyone can tell me if I should reach for a more realistic goal or not, that would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much for reading this. Also, if you have any advice for how I can improve my chances, I would appreciate it a lot.
