Hey guys!
I’m a junior male getting ready to shortlist colleges and I think I’ve decided to EA to GT
Some of the other schools I’m applying to include Cornell, UGA, UT Austin, UC Berkely.
My school uses an average out of 100, not a 4.0 scale. I have a 97 weighted average and about 93 unweighted. But my HOPE gpa is around a 3.75. I’m going to end up with 9 AP’s and everything else honors except for like gov and health.
Extra-curriculars:
Varsity Tennis
FBLA National winner for personal finance
FBLA School President (we have 200+ members)
4 years of drumline (Co-Captain)
Eagle Scout
National Honor Society and National Spanish Honor Society
Vice President of Mentor-ship club
Junior Tennis coach (paid)
200+ hours of service with Boy Scouts and local library combined
I really like math and physics and chemistry but I don’t really have “engineering” looking extracurriculars because the robotics team and science bowl clashes with Marching Band. I don’t know if that looks bad but I’ve done summer camps at Georgia Tech and Emory and I’m really interested in engineering. Should I not put my major as engineering on the app if I don’t look like an engineering candidate?
I’ve taken the SAT once and did pretty bad with a 2000 overall. However i got a 33 on my ACT. Is that considered competitive or should I retake it? I also plan on the math 2 and biology SAT II.
Thanks in advance :).
