<p>Our stats are almost identical- I edge you out with all the numbers but you have many more awards than me and better extra-curriculars. I was accepted for chemical engineering, so i assume you will have no problem getting into Bio! Good luck!</p>
<p>Georgia Tech does not give different consideration to in-state and out-of-state residents. Also, since the SAT and ACT’s are combined and superscored, the ACT+SAT combo is fine for GT. </p>
<p>ya they do. I asked them.
if your school adds bonus points, they don’t take it off. for example, I got a 89 in AP physics, my school adds 7 points, so it’s a 96. Gatech takes it as a 4.5 (4 b/c it’s an a, and 0.5 because it’s an ap class)</p>
<p>all banjohitter was saying was that though it may sound like double wieghting, it truly is not because GT is only weighting your GPA based on your transcript. Yes, your school may weight your grades, but GT only recognizes it as your school’s policy because not all schools in the nation are the same in wieghting grades. Like, my school gives 10 points for a passing grade in an AP class, so my transcirpt had a few 110s and 108s. But, my city’s other public school does not weight grades at all. So, for that school, a student’s GPA would be single-weighted. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>I am a little confused on this. My school offers a 1.0 boost for AP’s and a .5 boost for honors…and I know that tech only does 1 for AP and 0 for honors. so does this mean they will still follow my schools policy? sorry if this is a dumb question…</p>
<p>plus my transcripts only shows letter grades so I dont know how tech would know what you got percent wise. I did however include the grading scale of my school (a=93-100, a- = 90-92, b+ = 87-90 and so on)…</p>
<p>can you use the following 2 cousrses as example when you are answering this post? I had a A- in AP Stat last year (a- = 90-92)…so when my school calculated my GPA i got a 4.7 (3.7 for the A- + 1.0 boost)…and i got an A in AP US (94-100) and got a 5.0 (4 for A + 1.0 boost)</p>
<p>sorry for adding onto this thread but this whole “double weight” seems weird</p>
<p>There is no double weight. Georgia Tech will take your class back to the unweighted GPA and add 0.5 for AP, IB, and Dual Enrollment (in a community college). There is nothing for honors. So if Tech sees “AP Calculus BC: B” that counts as 3.5 regardless of what your school considers it.</p>
<p>Some schools, however, do not release the unweighted grade, they only release the weighted grade and do not tell colleges that the grades are weighted. For example, the transcript will say “AP Calculus BC: 93”. That might be an 86 weighted to 93, or that might be an unweighted 93. Colleges don’t know, so they treat it like it’s unweighted and will weight it again (93 = A, A in an AP = 4.5).</p>
<p>This seems unfair, and it is. But it cancels out over time. Colleges will track students from particular high schools to see how they do over time. Let’s say that there are two schools: School A “stealth weights” and School B does not. In the first year, the college accepts a 3.7 GPA from both schools and enrolls students. After a year, the college will check the college GPA of students from Schools A and B. If School B’s students have a higher GPA on average than School A’s students, the college makes it harder to get in from School A and easier from School B. So that next year, you need a 3.75 GPA from School A and a 3.65 GPA from School B. So the “stealth weighting” works against School A students.</p>
<p>Also, I’ve been wondering, is your name a reference to the indie band, Stellastarr? Haha I’ve heard them before (MVP Baseball video game - My Coco). Singer had a weird ass voice but the song was pretty good.</p>
