<p>I sent in my early action application to GT on 9/30 (I'm brimming with anticipation), and I'd like to know what some of you think my chances are.</p>

<p>First off, I went to a magnet high school for engineering:
*Middlesex County Academy for Math, Science, and Engineering - Civil/Mechanical Engineering Major</p>

<p>SAT Scores:
*2090:
*Math: 740
*Reading: 660
*Writing: 690</p>

<p>ACT:
*33 Composite:
*Math: 31
*Reading: 31
*English: 31
*Science: 36
*English/Writing: 31</p>

<p>SAT II:
*Math II: 770</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
*I've been a part of the FTC branch of FIRST robotics since my sophomore year
*Paid internship as a mechanical engineer at a local optics company since the summer after my sophomore year.
*Debate Club since 9th grade
*Orchestra Club in 12th grade
*Jazz Club in 10th and 11th grade
*Interact Club since 9th grade
*MALS (Men against low self-esteem) member since sophomore year</p>

<p>All of my classes are honors.</p>

<p>High School GPA:
*Weighted: 4.721/5
*Unweighted: 3.1/4</p>

<p>I've also taken 2 classes at the local county college during my high school career, taking a third at the moment:</p>

<p>College GPA:
*Unweighted: 3.8/4</p>

<p>I've won 2 international awards for CAD, one for 1st place, another for 3rd.</p>

<p>Let me know if there's anything else you want to know that would help you make an easier decision!</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hey man. I’m an AE major at Tech right now. From what you’ve stated, you have a great shot at getting into tech. My SAT scores and GPA were comparable to yours and your extracurriculars look great. I think you have a very high chance of getting in (as in you shud feel like you’ve already been accepted). Don’t sweat it man. Good luck!</p>

<p>That’s good to hear, I’m just a bit worried about my GPA being a buffer.</p>

<p>On an unrelated note, how are you finding GT’s Aerospace facilities/classes? Are the facilities nice? How difficult are the classes?</p>

<p>GTech only looks at ACT Math, English, and English + Writing. Looks like your 36 science saved your composite, but you should probably retake to be more competitive for GTech since if you apply as is they will see 31, 31, and 31. LOL.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, I must have put that in wrong. I have a 33 in reading, not a 31. So it’d look like:</p>

<p>33 Reading
31 Math
31 English</p>

<p>Doesn’t this stack up pretty well vs their admitted students?</p>
