Can I get into GTech! CHANCE ME! From Pennsylvania.

@donewithsat You’re welcome! I’m a rising senior so I haven’t experienced whether or not senior grades get recalculated. My high school recalculates the GPA every year, so I’m assuming that senior grades are recalculated, too. The one thing I can suggest is to make sure to keep your GPA up as much as you can. At my high school, AP classes have a much heavier weight than regular classes, which REALLY boosts the GPA. How many AP classes are you taking this/next year? If you’re able to take a few (more than just 1), then that will definitely help your GPA. Make sure that the classes you take junior year and senior year are rigorous (don’t take easier classes once you get to senior year just because it’s senior year). I know you didn’t ask me about AP scores but I just wanted to add… AP scores don’t matter too much (which is a good thing if you don’t pass the AP exams). However, if your scores are good, then that’s a definite plus. Colleges will like seeing that you’re capable of taking AP/college level courses and still succeed in them. By getting 4’s and 5’s on AP exams, you’re definitely earning college credit, which is obviously a plus! I think that the 5 in AP Comp Sci will be really beneficial for you. That will show that you’re extremely invested and interested in Computer Science. Maybe an internship or something similar in the CS will help you even more.

Anyway, I definitely think you have a decent shot at getting in. Just keep doing what you’re doing (don’t slack off, as that will hurt your GPA, take AP/advanced classes, etc.) and I’m sure you’ll get in.
