<p>I think you have a fair chance, but if you bump up SAT/ACT results, you will be golden. It is not that hard, I bumped my ACT from 28 to 32 without an enormous amount of studying</p>

3

<p>So I plan on applying by the EA deadline (October 15th) so there is no time for me to retake the ACT. My chance is fair as it stands?</p>

4

<p>Actually - double check me but I believe GT accepts standardized test scored up to or thru Nov 1 or Nov 39 for the EA applicants</p>

5

<p>Yep - just checked GT - SAT & ACT accepted thru end of November</p>

6

<p>I thought at first I saw two EA dates, but now I am only seeing one on Techs website. I am not so sure I really want to take the ACT again though…</p>

7

<p>threeofthree I just realized those are the dates specifically for the test scores to be sent in. Not trying to sound lazy here but . . . What if I don’t take my ACT again ? ?</p>

<p>Just applied EA. Good luck to all the future jackets!!</p>
