Chance thread? i just want to know how i stand

<p>OOS (Virginia) and am applying as a bio major</p>

<p>SAT: 1910 (CR: 610 M: 680 W: 620)
ACT: 28 (E: 30 M: 28 R: 31 S: 28 E/W: 31)
But i heard that tech mix and matches SAT and ACT, so what would my tech score be??????
Subject Tests: Math Lvl 2 (690) US History (780)
GPA: 4 out of 4.5 (upward trend: 3.7 to 4.2 to 4.3 and senior year so far i have a 4.5)
AP: 11 (2 sophomore, 4 junior, 5 senior)</p>

<p>ECs:
Internship with NASA (Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholar)
National AP Scholar
3rd Place Regional Science Fair
Microbiology, Biotechnology, and Molecular Biology Internship during my summer (this was a HUGE time commitment)
President of a club in school that organizes ALL fundraisers</p>

<p>your ACT scores
covert to
E:680
M:640
R:700
E/W:700</p>

<p>I think your GT score is 2080.</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance for admission, but it would be better if you posted your GT GPA.</p>

<p>slight reach to reach - poor math scores.</p>

<p>i know this sounds kinda dumb but does the math scores matter THAT much if im not applying to the engineering school? i want to do bio there, so shouldnt my science me viewed more heavily. im sorry if this comes off like a bad question…</p>

<p>btw @ilyssa1257, is my math converted THAT low? i thought a 28 was eqiivlanet to a 680. i remember someone on the ACT board asking a similar question and someone responded saying “680”. if im thinking right, their username was like cjgone or something and said that he went to GT…</p>

<p>what is this so called “GT Score” and “GT GPA”? What system do they use?</p>

<p>GT Score - That’s just a fancy term for the fact that GT converts ACT scores into SAT scores using a table.
GT GPA is the reweighted GPA. See here: [Georgia</a> Institute of Technology :: Undergraduate Admission :: Freshman Application Review Process](<a href=“Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission”>Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission) - Click High School Rigor/Academic GPA.</p>

<p>^I got a 30 on math and Georgia Tech calculated it to a 680. Obviously the site you looked at was wrong.</p>

<p>if you dont mind me asking what were you ACT scores and what did it convert to at GT?</p>

<p>I want to say my 34 was a 760.</p>

<p>if ur NOT doing engineering does math score matter that heavily?</p>

<p>Philly, that math score is fine for admission. You’ll get in if your GT GPA is a 4.0 and you have an SAT of 2080.</p>

<p>

<p>The entire University System of Georgia uses the same system, which is publicly available (it is a state-run system, after all). The concordance table is Appendix C here: [Academic</a> Affairs Handbook - University System of Georgia](<a href=“http://www.usg.edu/academic_affairs_handbook/section3/handbook/appendixAC/]Academic”>Academic & Student Affairs Handbook | University System of Georgia)</p>

</p>

<p>GT is an Institute, not a University, and as such admits students without regard to major. Everyone is treated exactly the same in admissions, whether they apply as an Electrical Engineer or Political Scientist. </p>

<p>I have to disagree with the use of the composite vs. the individual scores. As we’ve seen from the past, the Math SAT has a much higher weight than the CR SAT. They just started accepting Writing, so we don’t have a good feel, but I imagine it’s weighted the same or less than CR.</p>

<p>a 680 is a decent score on math…</p>

<p>do you think that they would ONLY convert my ACT E and E/W to SAT CR and W and use my 680 as my sat math score and then recalculate?</p>
