Background:
Ethnicity: White, half Puerto Rican, native English speaker Income: 40k Residency: Southeast Georgia (pretty rural)
Test scores:
I got a 3 on the AP Human Geography Exam. My superscore for the ACT is a 28 (no essay). As you can probably guess, I suck at standardized tests.
Academic stuff:
Class rank: 107/433 Weighted GPA: 3.89 Unweighted Numerical GPA: 88.6% HOPE GPA: 3.47
Current courses I’m taking: Calc III, DiffEq, and Principles of Physics II (Dual Enrollment)
I’ve taken 16 Dual Enrollment (DE) courses since junior year at my local university, not including the ones I’m taking now (they’re not a community college, so the credits transfer anywhere in Georgia):
-English 1101 (B) -English 1102 (A) -U.S. History I © -U.S. History II (B) -American Government (B) -American Literature (A) -Precalculus (B) -Calc I (A) -Calc II (A, really proud of myself for this one) -Principles of Physics I (B) -Stats (C, awful professor) -Microeconomics (A) -Environmental Science (A)
The other DE courses I took were electives, so I didn’t list them.
EC’s:
I was in the Student Leadership Program (SLP), sponsored by Gulfstream, for freshman and sophomore year. During that time, I won the Leadership Excellence Award.
I was in FBLA for sophomore year, where I designed my chapter’s t-shirt and sold over $240 in chocolate bars. We never got to go to competition, which really sucked.
I became a math tutor last semester for my college, where I worked over 100 hours so far. I also got CRLA Level 1 certification.
I only applied for Georgia Tech so far, because I’m trying to see if I can get an engineering internship with Gulfstream for this summer. If it doesn’t work out, then I want to transfer ASAP to another college for the summer. If I do get the internship, then I’ll start in the fall.
For my Georgia Tech essay, I wrote about how math used to be my biggest weakness for my freshman and sophomore years of HS, and how the work ethic and quality of professors/peers helped me become proficient enough to help others become better at math.
What are my chances?
Thanks!
