<p>Essay: Topic #2 (diversity prompt) - wrote about my unusual/unique quirks in a creative way. Interesting to read.</p>
<p>Will I have an okay chance for EA at Tech? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Your GPA is fine, but your SAT CR is very low for Tech. Hopefully you can raise that to mid 600’s with the latest test and you’ll be in a good position for admission.</p>
<p>thanks for the reply! I’m pretty sure I improved quite if not a little bit on all sections on the SAT I took yesterday, hopefully I’m right haha.</p>
<p>It is harder to get in early than regular. However it’s also harder to be rejected early than regular. People who are slightly above the threshold for admission and people are who are slightly below the threshold for admission are deferred.</p>
<p>Let’s say there are 5 applicants that apply early: one very qualified for Tech, one qualified, one borderline, one unqualified, and one very unqualified. The early notification will probably accept the very qualified, defer the qualified, borderline and unqualified, then reject the very unqualified. Then in RD the qualified will be accepted, the unqualified will be rejected, and the borderline would be wait-listed or maybe get a GT-Savannah offer. If those 5 students instead all applied RD, the exact same thing would have happened. So what’s the benefit of Early Notification? The very qualified student knew he was accepted very early (and could drop schools he’s less interested in than Tech from his application pool) and the very unqualified person was rejected early and knew to apply to more schools before it was too late.</p>
<p>Did you try the ACT? Some people tend to do better on the ACT than the SAT. Personally, here are my scores.
SAT= Reading 600 Math 680 Writing 630
ACT= English 31 Math 32 Reading 34 Science 29 English/Writing 29
Tech’s ACT Converted(they converted English to CR, Math to Math, and Combined English/Writing to Writing)= Reading 700 Math 720 Writing 650</p>
<p>Hence Normal Sat= 1910
ACT Converted to Sat=2070</p>
<p>I haven’t taken the ACT yet, but I’ve heard similar results from many friends. I’ll give it a go depending on how well I did on the Oct. 9 SAT. Thanks for the reply!</p>
