<p>It would be nice if someone could answer.</p>
<p>Looks good to me! It’s always so hard to say for schools of that caliber, but I think you’ve got a good shot. Luck.</p>
<p>I think that you are in extremely good shape. Colleges will look at what individual resources your high school has and how you have utilized them. In your case, you’ve taken advantage of all the resources your school has, invented some new ones, and went above and beyond by taking classes over the summer and pushing for more APs. That’s leadership and initiative, 2 extremely prize things. Just be sure to study hard for that SAT, if you can get over that 2200 threshold you’re golden.</p>
<p>Thank you! I just wish that GATech would take recommendations, but GATech has some rule in admissions where they don’t take teacher or counselor recommendations 
. I also noticed that I’m lacking in awards. I should’ve done research, or participated in USAMO or something.</p>
<p>Anyone else? I’d greatly appreciate it . :)</p>
<p>I’m gonna give this thread another bump, and add a few more things. I’m starting a project, which will hopefully be pretty huge. A food drive for key club created and run by students that will feed the hungry, and will hopefully be sponsored by the mayor; the area that I live in is pretty poor, as it is a small, rural town. Another project in which I, along with a few of my other friends, help tutor students because only 46 percent of my school seniors graduate. Most of them dropout for various reasons. </p>
<p>Schools I want to add to the list posted previously:
Johns Hopkins
NYIT (7yr. Med program)
UPenn
Emory</p>
<p>You should surely get into Uga and ucla. Emory is a maybe but also apply to their Oxford campus as well. The rest are reaches</p>
<p>You have got a good list going, although GATech and UGA are your only realistic schools. If you are fine with them, then that is good. But if not, I would reconsider your list, as you could get shut out of every other school.</p>
<p>Ya I think that you can get into those schools ^ IF you don’t make them think they are your safety schools because then they might assume your going elsewhere.</p>
<p>Would my chance at GATech increase if I am instate?</p>
<p>Bump. Anyone else? :)</p>
<p>How can anybody chance you without SAT or ACT scores. Get them, come back, ask these Qs we will be able to give you better answers.</p>
