<p>I haven't applied yet (i'm in my sophmore year :)), but I plan to apply to Georgia Tech and I'm totally serious about it. When I do apply, my major will be Biomedical engineering/sciences. My stats are:</p>
<p>---- Asian now living in Georgia</p>
<p>---- AP classes taken by end of high school:
- AP World Hist.
- AP US Hist.
- AP English Lang.
- AP Chemistry
- AP Physics
- AP Calculus
- AP Govt/Eco
- AP English (12th)
- AP Psychology (maybe)
- all other core classes taken are Honors
- all other classes taken (not core)--honors (if available)</p>
<p>----PSAT (lol... haven't taken SAT yet :rolleyes: )
- Composite:1260
- I know the score is bad, but I'll be working on it and it should improve.</p>
<p>---- PLAN ( Practice ACT)
- Composite: 24
- This should improve also.</p>
<p>---- GPA
- Unweighted: 3.75
- Weighted: 4.5 (or something close to it :))
- This should and will stay pretty balanced throughout highschool.</p>
<p>---- Volunteer Work
- None yet (oops!) but will have some by end of high school. Thankfully, I have two more years to work on it. :)</p>
<p>---- Ecs
- Weak point! oh well...
- bunch of school clubs:
- Academic Team, Mock Trial, Beta Club, Y-club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Literary Team (will stay with these Sophmore, Junior, and Senior year)
- leadership position in Y-club, and Literary team.
- Youth Leadership Program.
- GHP nominations
- Foreign Language Speaking Comp. </p>
<p>---- Degree Type
- Dual with Distinction (combines main core classes and tech classes)</p>
<p>Well, these are my stats... So do I have a chance? My essay for entrace should not be a problem.</p>
<p>Ure workload is not bad.</p>
<p>I wouldnt say its as strenuous as mine, while AP is one course, IB Subjects are 2 year courses. But its still tough. Id Say you have a really good shot.</p>
<p>How are your math scores?</p>
<p>"while AP is one course, IB Subjects are 2 year courses"
oh! i didn't know that. i haven't even heard of IB courses offered in my school - is it an international thing? wow - ur work load must be stressful. do u get a chance to breathe on occassion??? lol!</p>
<p>math scores: 620 (yikes!:eek: ) -- bad but will improve 'cuz i didn't prepare for the one that i took. ur math scores are awesome! did you study for it? if so.. what prep book did you use?</p>
<p>btw, did you take the ACT or have any volounteer work?</p>
<p>oh and sorry 'bout badgering you with my questions...lol!:p i'm just curious about how much i should try to do in highschool to get in.:) please and thank you :)</p>
<p>Yeah I have loads of volunteer work, like Manufacturing Items for the Needy, Horseback Riding for the Disabled and others.</p>
<p>I didnt study for the SAT. But I regret it now, so study hard especially english.</p>
<p>IB is very stressful, we have 6 subjects which we take for 2 years, with another course called theory of knowledge as well as many requirements such as a Group 4 Project and Extended essay and world literature essay.</p>
<p>So it is demanding. But if you take enough APs, your workload will look very strenuous and the Unis will look at that positively.</p>
<p>GaTech like to see Math scores above 650, Last year the Competitive SAT score was 1180 and above, the competitive GPA was 3.4 and above.</p>
<p>So dont worry about it.</p>
<p>thanks a bunch ferret...wow really stats driven.</p>
<p>kk:) thanx ferret! for the stats and the answers :)</p>
<p>Anytime!!!</p>
<p>I just found out I have a 3.4 Avg GPA. </p>
<p>I started out in 9th grade-> 3.2
Slipped to a 3.1 in 10th grade
Jumped up to a 3.8 in 11th grade.</p>
<p>So I think Im screwed.</p>
<p>Well, Am I?</p>
<p>If you say you are, then you are. Attitude determines everything. You are not able to control anything past sending off the application.</p>
<p>I'll bet ten bucks and a latte that you're in.</p>
<p>By the way, Ferrett, could you use that US News Service to fetch me Vanderbilt, NYU, and Washington and Lee, and Private Message me with them? You're not obligated, but thanks a ton if you do. And the best of luck!</p>
