<p>HOOKS:</p>

<p>I am of Hispanic descent.</p>

<p>I will not be applying for financial aid.</p>

2

<p>My unprofessional guess is that your chances would be like 60%. Take that with a grain of salt. Let us know how it goes!</p>

3

<p>I assume there will be a decisions thread come November. I will definitely post back there.</p>

4

<p>you’ll be deferred to rd</p>

5

<p>No chance of EA acceptance?</p>

6

<p>well, that’s my guess, given your profile. hispanic status might help a bit. but they will see no urgency in admitting you early. they don’t need recommendation letters now, do they? hope they will prove me wrong. you will find out soon enough.</p>

7

<p>I attended an information session and stated that they would throw out recommendations.</p>

<p>I’m also hoping being able to pay full OOS tuition will be a plus, especially with the recent economic downturn.</p>

8

<p>SAT’s within range, though a bit low within the middle 50%. Weight your GPA with Tech’s system (+.5 for AP or college courses) to see how competitive that is though.</p>

<p>I think URM will help you out, and ECs look pretty good. I like that you had committed and long-term involvement in a few main activities. </p>

<p>What do you mean by APCS and AP Econ next year (next semester?)</p>

9

<p>@got2surf: My school uses same GPA standards as Tech. I copied this post from a chance me thread last year. I am taking those courses this year.</p>

10

<p>Let’s just say that you won’t get in early with those SAT scores or grades. You’ve got a good chance to eventually get in, either RD, through the wait list, or through a summer offer, but Tech is still a slight reach.</p>

11

<p>When is the RD/Waitlist notification?</p>
