<p>I'll be applying for Georgia Tech this November. I'm an African American female from Gerogia.</p>
<p>SAT: 1680/2400 (I know it's poor, but I've been drilling myself with practice tests since June. I've been improving on those, so I should do much better on the one in Oct.)
ACT: None</p>
<p>All of my classes are honors unless stated otherwise. 1st semester/2nd semester.
Freshman:
Language Arts - 88/94
Biology - 86/94
Algebra - 90/92
World History - 87/91
Symphonic Orchestra -93/99</p>
<p>Sophomore:

<p>AP Macro and AP Gov are split into one semester each.
In the second semester, I found out that I had two very large abdominal cysts. My doctor said that I couldn't wait till school was out for removal surgery, so I ended up missing 3 weeks of school to heal up. Due to the missed material, I didn't feel confident about taking my AP tests, except Macroeconomic. I crammed the material that I missed while I was gone, but I still ended up with a 3. A lot of my grades slipped in the second semester due to the missed time, which pulled down my GPA.</p>
<p>Junior:
IB Lang HL I - 90/96
IB Math I SL - 84/95
IB Physics SL -93/90

And I will be teaching myself Spanish 3.</p>
<p>Right now, my GPA stands at a 3.68. I'm hoping to raise that up to a 3.7+ this year.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: Beta Club, Interact, Orchestra Council (I'm one of the webmasters), NSBE(I'm hoping to run for president), Student Council, Pep Squad, Chamber Choir, and a leadership team.</p>
<p>Sorry for all of that. It's really long.
I'd appreciate if you guys had any suggestions. GT is my dream school.</p>
