Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi! I'm Shannon and I'm wondering what my chances are for getting into GA Tech and UGA!
Info on me:</p>

<p>Female
Junior
Public High School, pretty competitive though
Qualify for full Hope (Zell Miller)
Live about 30 minutes away from GA Tech</p>

<p>SAT:
Math 570 :(
Reading 670
Writing 700
(These scores were in the same sitting & I've only taken the test twice, getting the same Math score each time.)</p>

<p>4.3 GPA Weighted
3.9 GPA Unweighted
4.9 GPA for last semester
Top 10% in 11th Grade
Took AP World History in 10th grade an got a 4 on the exam
Currently taking AP US History, AP Psychology, and AP Language
Senior year: Doing dual enrollment at a nearby college for 2 classes (haven't decided which yet, or if I should take any at all) & taking AP Statistics or Calculus, AP Environmental Science, AP Lit, AP Economy, AP Government, AP Spanish</p>

<p>I work in the summer and was promoted at 16 to leader of many college-aged coworkers, I lead a Catholic girls group every other Friday, I am in National Honor Society, English Honor Society, Model United Nations, and Beta Club (among others). I'm on the Girls Golf team and have Varsity lettered in my sport. </p>

<p>Okay, thank you so much! All opinions are appreciated! If I could go out of state I would, but I need to make use of my Hope scholarship (so if there are any other Georgia schools you think I would be better suited for, please let me know!). Thanks again!</p>

<p>I think you will be accepted to both schools. You’re SAT scores are great, your GPA is good, and your ECs are great. I knew a friend that was accepted into UGA and she had very low scores, grades, and ECs. She was below a 3.0, out of state, and had below average SAT scores. The only reason I think she was accepted was because her older sister went there. You will most likely be accepted. Good luck.</p>

<p>Your profile sounds a great deal like my daughter’s. She applied to both GT and UGA early action and was admitted. She also just recently found out she was accepted to the Honor’s program at UGA. Both are excellent schools. She has been concerned about the size of UGA, but the Honor’s program is a great way to be part of a more academic pool of students and to make the school feel a bit smaller.</p>

<p>I would apply to both because your feelings will change over time and it is good to have options. Not applying to both, especially if you are a GA resident, is foolish. You want options!</p>
