So right now I’m a rising senior and Georgia Tech is my top choice, what are my chances of getting in? I’m OOS, live in northern VA in one of the most competitive public school counties in the country. My UW GPA is a 4.0 and my weighted as of the end of junior year was a 4.375. The APs I’ve taken are World History, BC Calculus, Chem, Physics 1, and Lang and this year I’m taking Lit, Gov, Spanish, Bio, Econ, and Multivariable Calculus/Linear Algebra as my APs and dual enrollment classes, and all other core classes I’ve taken have been honors. My SAT is a 1540 w/ a 770 in each section and a 23/24 writing. I have a 780 on the SAT Chem and am taking Math 2 in October. My ECs are average, I did sports through sophomore year and now participate in regular tutoring and various honor societies, and also do consistent volunteer work. Most notably, I volunteer weekly at a respite center for children with mental disabilities. I’m not 100% sure, but right now I most likely want to major in biochem w/ either a minor or double major in math, and I want to focus on medical/health science and research. I’m confident that my letters of recommendation (from my BC Calc and AP Chem teachers) will be excellent because I was very close with both teachers and consistently performed in the top 5% or less of all of their students (about 100). I am concerned about writing a generic common app essay because I’m not super creative, although I do think I’m a strong writer. I’m also a half Filipino, half white female and daughter of an immigrant if that’s relevant.

@SREE33 Georgia Tech is my top choice right now because of its amazing STEM programs, and I also visited and fell in love with the campus and area. I am also interested in schools you’ve mentioned but GT just seems like a better fit for me rn
