My name is Abhi and I am a 17 year old Indian male. I’m from Northern Virginia and recently applied to Virginia Tech university studies early decision. Virginia Tech is my first choice school and I am dying to go there. The decision came out yesterday and I ended up getting deferred. I am now trying to work hard for the rest of this semester to get good first semester senior year grades. I think if i work hard I can raise the GPA stated below to a 3.6, which they will see in regular decision. My stats that I applied with are shown below.
GPA weighted: 3.52 (yikes I know)
APs taken:
Sophomore Year:
AP world history
Junior Year:
AP US history
AP Physics 1
AP Psychology
AP Lang
Senior Year (the grades do not show on the early decision application but they see my course selection):
AP Calculus AB
AP Micro/Macro
AP Government
AP Literature
SAT score: 2080
Math: 710
Critical Reading: 640
Writing: 730
Extracurriculars:
JV Track and field, FBLA, Model UN, Debate, DECA, Webmaster of CISA (Indian Student Association), Red Cross, MHS, SHS (Science Honors), SHS (Spanish Honors), President of KAST (kids are Scientists Too), Key club, and probably a few more I can’t remember.
Additionally, I took four years of spanish. Also, I am a first generation college student as neither of my parents completed college. I also slipped and got a couple of Cs in my High School career, which I am sure will hurt me . I appreciate any help with my question. Thanks!
