<p>If you can get the SAT up to at least 2,000, your chances would skyrocket. I believe it is the only limiting factor at present.</p>

3

<p>are you saying under 2000 is no good for GT??? no way... or... please explain</p>

<p>do i have a chance at 1700?</p>

4

<p>no ive seen plenty of ppl with sub-2000 SAT scores get in.
But, I think it's gona have to be at least 1800.
Math is gonna have to be much higher, and Verbal try to raise it to at least 550.
I don't know how much Tech is considering Writing section.</p>

5

<p>1760 baby, and I got in last year. But my EC's were awesome along with my recs and essay.</p>

6

<p>Math is the most important SAT. I'd be very surprised if you could get in with a 550 math.</p>

7

<p>I know one guy who got in with 740 verbal, 550 math...but then again he's an URM.</p>

8

<p>What is URM? lol</p>

9

<p>Under Represented Minority.</p>

10

<p>I am Greek American.... and Jewish. Is that a URM?</p>

11

<p>No, but being Greek American does give you some advantage, I think.</p>

12

<p>(550 M, 490 CR = 1040) + (GP = 3.52) + Greek American = doubt it.</p>

<p>hey.. take the act and do that.. they consider the highest english and math..
i raised my math score alot.. by doing barrons math review and peterson's sat math review.. i raised my act math score 8 points.. from a 21 to a 29.. a 29 is like a 680 on the math part of the sat.. it would be like improving the sat math score 300 points.. so it def. can be raised.. just work hard.. and try your hardest.. the lady at admissions said a 1230 combined on the math and verbal is competitive.. and a 27 on the act english and math is competitive. they dont consider writing in the process although they do require it for admission.. but its not evaluated.. and they also take your unweighted gpa and weight it for you by adding .5 for grads of b,c,d</p>
