<p>After i was Deferred, I joined Key Club in my School and began to Tutor children for 4 hours a week and increased my involvement in my Robotics Club doubling my hours a week from 5 to 10. Unfortunately, in my 7th Semester, I did poorly on my Midterms and finished up with 3 C+'s in AP Physics C, AP Psychology, and World Literature. My Ga Tech GPA is still higher than when I was Deferred, but is that a deal breaker or do I still have a chance?</p>

<p>You have a chance, but it’s iffy. I would re-take the SAT. Shoot for above 700 on each section.</p>

<p>Thank you for such a speedy response, unfortunately, my SAT scores are as high as they are going to get. I have taken it 3 times, studied for all of them, and consistently score in the 1850 range. Also, the next SAT is on Jan. 28 and my scores will not arrive in time. If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the SAT score and GPA are both very low, so I don’t think you’ll get in. But good luck.</p>
