<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I find out next friday on whether or not I got accepted to tech, but I am really worried and was just wondering my chances</p>

<p>-GPA: 3.94 (weighted)
-SATs: 580 math, 540 reading
-3 APs this year, AP Language and Comp last year (along with 2 sciences, regular physics and human anatomy/physiology, regular precalculus, regular history, spanish 4, SGA), took honors courses 9th and 10th grade
-I have been in SGA since 10th grade, and have held an office since 11th grade
-I also have been assistant manager lifeguard for a year over the summer, and am currently working as a hostess during the school year
-jv soccer 9th and 10th grade (captain 10th grade)
-national honor society (9th-12th), spanish honor society (10-12th grade)</p>

<p>My biggest worry is I had a 4.0 both 9th and 10th grade (because of the .5 weight on honors courses) but I got a 3.77 my junior year. I got a 4.1 my first semester of senior year because of the weights, which makes my GPA a 3.94.</p>

<p>Will they be disappointed in my drop junior year and not accept me and the fact that I took no honors courses? I am also worried about my sats not being high enough, and the fact that I only wrote ONE ESSAY. I feel like I should have written 3. </p>

<p>Sorry for rambling, but what are your thoughts? I applied for my major as Human Nutrition and Exercise Sciences</p>

<p>you probably should have written at least two essays, plus the SAT is pretty low. but on the upside, your GPA is high enough now that your drop junior year probably will not matter too much. your EC’s look fine as well. in my opinion, you are in, but it’s not a definite. you just have to wait until friday (like me) to find out (it’s agonizing haha).</p>

<p>ahh i know waiting is agonizing! i really regret only writing 1 essay. when i was doing the application i wasn’t interested in going at the time, but now i realllllly want to go haha. what major did you apply for?</p>

<p>Accepted, Engineering
SAT: 2370
GPA: 3.99-ish UW, 4.49 W
Courses: 6 AP’s plus Computer Info Systems
AP’s: 4 tests taken, all 5s
EC’s: involved in about half a dozen clubs, leadership roles in 3
100 hrs. volunteering (Habitat for Humanity)
Essays: nope, completely blew them off.
actually, i felt bad because i applied with no essays at 11:47 PM on January 15th (i had completely forgotten to apply up until that point), so it really looked like i wasnt taking the app seriously…</p>

<p>Virginia Resident- yeah, i rep the commonwealth… specifically NoVA</p>

<p>anyway, tech was kind of my safety. seeing as i was just accepted to Washington-St. Louis last Friday and am waiting on some of my other top choices, me going to tech isn’t looking likely.
However, some of my best friends are going to tech and really looking forward to it, and I’m glad i appplied there as it offered me some needed security for a few weeks once i was accepted there. Thanks Tech!</p>

<p>Accepted! They may wonder about the correlation between your high GPA and the lower SAT scores. You might expect higher test scores from that GPA. Have you tried the ACT’s , so people do much better on them. I think VT takes the English grade and Math grade and changes the to comparable SAT scores. In my D’s case it moved her from a 1330 to a 1410.</p>

<p>Blueiguana. Have you been made aware of or received any merit scholarship money yet?</p>
