<p>Right now I would say GT is a a bit of a reach.
Definitely retake the ACT and score above a 30.
You need to concentrate on boosting your GPA during the rest of high school.
Write a killer essay.
And definitely take AP Calc… and AP Bio? </p>

<p>Idk if race will help, but it definitely won’t hurt.</p>

<p>Sorry. Your GPA and ACT scores are both out of range. You need to get your GPA into the 3.6+ range unweighted, and your ACT score closer to 30 (at least 27+). </p>

<p>As far as AP exams go, I would take both Biology and Calc. If you can only take one, take AP Calc.</p>

<p>There’s people who get 3.4’s with 31/2(1/2)00’s who get in, so don’t get too down on GP’s post, however GT is becoming increasingly more difficult to get into, so I could obviously be wrong, but I would say as of now, it’s a reach, but get that ACT/SAT up and you could get in.</p>

<p>I’m being realistic with my post. If she wants to get in, a 3.6 UWGPA and 27 or 28 ACT is about the minimum to have a realistic chance. Anything less than that, and she’s reaching. </p>

<p>If you want to give chances based on the absolutely minimum, there’s someone with a 3.0 and 910/1600 SAT that got in this year: [Jeremiah</a> Attaochu - Yahoo! Sports](<a href=“http://rivals.yahoo.com/georgiatech/football/recruiting/player-Jeremiah-Attaochu-81648]Jeremiah”>http://rivals.yahoo.com/georgiatech/football/recruiting/player-Jeremiah-Attaochu-81648) and someone else who got in with an ACT of 18: <a href=“http://rivals.yahoo.com/georgiatech/football/recruiting/player-Quayshawn-Nealy-82001[/url]”>http://rivals.yahoo.com/georgiatech/football/recruiting/player-Quayshawn-Nealy-82001&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yeah and since georgia tech reported a 13% increase in applicants (don’t quote me on the number…) it’ll be harder to get into the fifth engineering school in the nation.</p>

7

<p>4th, but who is counting :P</p>

8

<p>Tech tries not to admit those who can’t graduate. However, recently, they have not had room for everyone who could graduate.</p>

9

<p>Thanx. Any more advice?</p>

10

<p>What are your individuals scores on the ACT?</p>

11

<p>You need to get you ACT score up.
