<p>EC’s look good. Your GPA is a little below average, but it’s still within a good range, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it. </p>

<p>Your SAT is low for Tech, though. Can you break down the SAT and ACT sections so we can do a conversion? The chart is here if you want to do it on your own [Academic</a> Affairs Handbook - University System of Georgia](<a href=“Academic & Student Affairs Handbook | University System of Georgia”>Academic & Student Affairs Handbook | University System of Georgia)</p>

<p>I got a 30 on math, 29 reading, 25 english, and 27 science</p>

<p>I know i need to drastically improve my SAT/ACT scores, but I do better on the ACT, so I might do ACTs and just send those scores.</p>

<p>Do you believe that is a good option?</p>

<p>I would send in ACT scores.
You still have a great chance though</p>

<p>Unless things have changed in the last year, Tech superscores. So send both SAT and ACT scores and they’ll choose the better of the two.</p>
