<p>I don’t think it was your SAT that got you deferred. List all your core courses (Math, Science, Social Studies, English, Language) and grades here so we can give you a better idea of what your Tech Weighted GPA is. For all we know, a 4.08 W at your school could be a 3.08 UW.</p>

<p>I got a 3.52 GT GPA. That’s well below average.</p>

5

<p>Rounding, I got a 3.53 GT GPA but that should be fine. I got in EA with a 3.50, granted my SAT was about 100 points higher and my essay was fantastic (at least in my opinion…I worked a ton on it).</p>

<p>Is it easier to get in regular than early? Also,would my chances for regular decision be less since I got deferred?</p>

<p>Do senior year grades factor into the GT GPA for the first 2 marking periods or do they just look at whether youre doing ok in your classes?</p>

<p>In order:

  1. I would guess so.
  2. No I wouldn’t think so.
  3. Yes, first semester (including midterms) factors into the GT GPA so definitely work very hard!</p>
