Chance me for Georgia tech as well as other top STEM schools

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I posted this a while back and got a reply, but I just got my June Sat and decided to repost with updated stats.</p>

<p>I'm in GA and plan on going into some field of engineering. I don't think my school ranks outside of Valedictorian, if they do I'll post my rank here. I attend one of the most rigorous high schools in my area, and I believe it's one of the few high schools in Georgia with a Cum Laude society. Also according to Naviance close to 75% of students from my school have been admitted into tech so that might help my chances. My credentials
-White Male</p>

<p>-SAT- 2180. 2nd attempt, one sitting. M-770 CR-720 W-690 </p>

<p>-ACT- 29. Don't think i'll send this score in because I only got a 25 math. Don't really want to take the ACT again</p>

<p>-GPA- 3.7ish unweighted 3.9ish weighted (I think it will end up being higher due to the way Ga tech recalculates Gpa because I've gotten 2 B's in theology classes, which don't factor into recalculation)</p>

<p>-Ap's- Junior year: Ap physics and Art history
Senior year enrolled: Stats, Calc Bc, Macro Econ, Gov, Chemistry, College English (not an Ap but a dual<br>
enrollment)</p>

<p>-ECs- 4 year varsity golf as well as multiple tournaments outside of school, 2 years mock trial
60-80 hours various community service
Interned at technical college doing programming and also work with computer hardware last summer, currently interning again at same college working at electronics lab.</p>

<p>That's all i can think of. My EC's suck but I've never been one of those kids who have to join every club and be involved in anything, and I also don't attend any church or anything so I can't get involved in activities through that. These are the colleges I want to apply to</p>

<p>Ga tech (1st choice)
Michigan
Nc State
Florida
Could take the Sat again and try to get a 2300 in order to get into a Caltech or Mit, but if I get accepted to Ga tech I don't want to give up the hope scholarship (free tuition to any school in georgia) when Ga tech is a very good school, and also I don't think i'd have a chance with a 2300 due to my poor EC's. The only reason I'd retake the Sat is to bump up CR and W if I didn't think I could get into ga tech with my scores.</p>

<p>I don’t think you have much to worry about. Your SAT is pretty decent compared to many of the people admitted, however if you’re applying to the engineering school, it will probably be a tad low. You have a good math score, so again I don’t think you have much to worry about. AND you’re in state. The hard part of GT is not getting in but rather STAYING in as it is one of the most rigorous schools (at least for engineering) in the country. So as for getting in, I think you’ll be fine. :slight_smile: Good luck! </p>

<p>Oh and I think you match at every school except Michigan, which would be a low reach.</p>
