Your have pretty good chances at tech. The only thing that may hold you back is your math ACT score. I’m in the same boat as you when it come to that test score, so I took the SAT and my math score was much higher. I recommend you take it especially since tech super duper scores their tests. Good luck!

Bump! I just got back a second round of ACT scores - 33 Composite (34 Math, 35 Sci, 31 English, 30 Reading, and 9 Writing). Also, I have been elected Student-Body VP, got 2nd Place on my DECA event at the State Conference, will hopefully have my Eagle Scout by the end of April, and I am signed up for AP Chem, Physics, and Calc 3 next year. I have a 135-hour investment related internship this summer.

How are chances at GT Engineering looking?

Lastly, and this is just trivial, but I’m scheduled for the June SAT. Should I be worried, or just take it for fun at this point?
