<p>Your SAT is low for GT from OOS. Why haven’t you taken your subject tests yet??</p>

3

<p>I’m guessing you attend TAMS. I know UT is hard to get into from TAMS due to their reliance on class rank *which is difficult at TAMS). Your ECs are good but your test scores definitely have room for improvement, making GT a reach. I’m a freshman at GT so feel free to ask me any questions</p>

<p>hmm… test score is def. on the lower side for GT, and I have that problem too. I’m applying to UT and GT from Texas. chance me back?</p>

<p>@test167‌ Yes, I go to TAMS. So GT is a reach for me? So are my chances low, or are they decent? I want to go to G.Tech, but it will be expensive unless I get a scholarship - which with my scores are probably not going to be given. </p>

<p>So, on a scale of 1-10, what do you think my chances are getting in?
On another scale of 1-10, what do you think my chances are for honors college?</p>

<p>Thx.
@vs1997‌ , you didn’t really chance me. I know my scores are low, but you should tell me if I have a chance.</p>

<p>GT, is a low match, ut austin is match. honors is going to be a reach. i think you will likely get into cockrell, but gt is gonna be a little bit more difficult.</p>

7

<p>Oh alright. Thx for letting me know.</p>

<p>@mangoboy GT would be a low reach at this point, not a low match like @vs1997 mentioned. Your extracurriculars look good, so if you can get your SAT to atleast a 2100 and ACT to a 32/33, you would have a solid shot at GT. Yeah you shouldn’t expect scholarships from GT even if you have high scores, but a degree from GT has one of the highest ROI so you should keep that in mind. Honors college at GT doesn’t solely rely on GPA/Test scores, it considers how quirky/unique your application is and interviews and other factors. I wouldn’t really recommend the honors college at GT.</p>

<p>You’re OOS. GT won’t give you any money even if you manage to get in.</p>
