There may be more stuff but I can't remember at the moment</p>
<p>If you’re not instate for UTexas, then not likely. Your GPA and ACT are lowish for GT.</p>
<p>You’re OOS for at least 2 of these schools. That means that they’ll cost your parents a LOT of money. Are they prepared to pay full costs?</p>
<p>Actually Georgia Tech only looks at the english and math act scores which I am way above average especially for math. I definitely agree with you on UT-Austin. My GPA is a bit low but I attend a school that uses unweighted gpa so with all the ap and honors classes my weighted gpa will increase when they calculate that. I don’t understand why I can’t get a scholarship with those AP scores and ACT?</p>
<p>AP scores don’t net you scholarships, and probably most of their applicants have similar or better AP scores. </p>
<p>And your ACT is average for those schools…Scholarships are given to those who have very high ACTs…well into the top 25%. </p>
<p>Even at Bama, you wouldn’t get much with an ACT 29. That’s not top quartile for that school either.</p>
<p>ACT: 29 Math 34 English 30</p>
<p>That’s not high for GT.</p>
<p>GT…</p>
<p>63% have an ACT Math of 30-36</p>
<p>58% have an ACT English of 30 - 36</p>
<p>Your English score is below 58% of the students. Your math score is probably around the top 85% mark. You wouldn’t get merit from GT.</p>
<p>BTW…you shouldn’t title your thread that way…you should make a title like…Where should I go…GT, UTexas, UWisconsin or where?</p>
<p>I understand that AP scores don’t give you scholarships, but instead exempt you from different classes and save you good amount of money.</p>
<p>I also understand that an ACT of 29 doesn’t give you a scholarship and is average. All I am concerned at the moment is how my scores compare with others and if I have a good chance at attending the colleges listed above. 34 is above 80th percentile for kids who apply to GT and 30 is about 65 percentile. I also have to mention that they do not look at composite, so composite doesn’t really matter for GT. For any people wondering it’s sort of a waste to superscore unless it’s for english or math.</p>
<p>For UW you are average so around 50-50 chance.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback. I am new to this so I am just getting to know how to use CC.</p>
<p>I do have to mention however my friend got in with a 28 act score for GT and he wasn’t wait listed. So we’ll see how it goes.</p>
