Chances at EA?

[btdubs124]

<p>Entering my senior year of high school (in-state, public) and hoping to apply to GT. I know it's gotten a lot harder in the last couple years, so I'm worried...</p>

<p>Asian Male
Weighted GPA: 4.0
Unweighted: 3.7/4.0
SAT: 2020 (720 math, 620 reading, 680 writing)
ACT: 27 composite - hoping to take a second time in Sept, but not sure if score release will meet the EA deadline
AP's: (5 so far) World History, Chem, Physics B, US History, Calc BC
Senior Courses:
-AP Physics C
-AP Comp Sci
-AP Macro
-Either On-level Lit, or AP Lit (having trouble choosing)
-Internship (idk where yet, hopefully GTRI or with a GT professor)
-GT Distance Calculus</p>

<p>EC's:
-President of Habitat for Humanity
-Treasurer of Mu Alpha Theta
-Science Club: Science Olympiad, Science NHS, Science Bowl
-NHS
-Academic Bowl
-Member of religious youth group (since 5th grade), youth leader
-Orchestra (4 yrs, 3 yrs 1st violist)
-Rho Kappa
-Maybe starting a club next year as well</p>

<p>Also unsure about whether to choose on-level lit or ap. Afraid that AP will overwhelm me too much (with the workload it definitely will, and I don't like literature and poetry very much either) while on-level might not be enough to get in.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Everything looks good with the exception of your test scores being on the low side. Avg SAT was around 2140 for enrolled students and almost 2200 for admitted students. Your SAT appears to be stronger than your ACT. Have you considered retaking it instead. My D took it last Oct and the scores were counted for EA. I don’t know how much studying you did for the tests, but it can make a huge difference. Also, I would not worry about AP lit because your schedule already shows excellent rigor. If you did well on your AP tests, be sure to send scores. It is not required, but it can help. </p>
