<p>Hello. I am not usual student, I moved to US by the 10th grade, so I've lost 1 year of American HS. Back in my home country, we didn't have AP/nonAP classes, everyone had the same classes, so my transcript is kind of complicated. My average is about 3.8-3.9 unweighted.</p>
<p>My grades so far are:
Visual Arts - 85 (took back in my home country)
Physical Science - 85 (back home)
2 years of Russian - 95 (back home)
Biology - 95 (back home)
Math 1 - 85 (back home)(in my home country there is a lot of space for bias in grades, because of different grading system, and my math teacher simply didn't like me)
World Geography - 95 (back home)
Computing in Modern World - 95 (back home)
Personal Fitness - 85 (back home)
10th Grade Lit/Comp - 95</p>
<p>In US I've got</p>
<p>ESOL - A (don't remember exact grade)
Honors Math 2 - 99
Chemistry - A
Theatre - A
World History - A
Health - A</p>
<p>This year I take:
AP US History
Honors Human Anatomy
Honors Pre-Calculus
American Lit (I don't take honors yet, because I am not sure in my language skills, but I will try to take honors 2nd semester)
Web Design 1
Broadcasting and Video Production 1</p>
<p>Next Year I plan to take:</p>
<p>AP Government (half-year course)
AP Economy (half-year course)
AP Statistics (I am really good at math, and I've already taken 4 years of science, so councillor would let me take Statistics instead of Science)
AP Calculus
Honors 12 grade lit
Web Design 2
BVP 2</p>
<p>If I'd get all A's in my current and next year's classes, would it be possible for me to get into Georgia Tech (Georgia Institute of Technology)? I am a Georgia resident, and I am probably going to get something around 1900-2000 on SAT. I am in a Math Team and Chess Club, going to do volunteering work starting September break. I am also a foreigner (Russian). I am planning to major in Computer Science. Thank you for your attention, I hope you will help me to answer this question.</p>
<p>It gives a lot of information on the criteria of students they admit. Based on your situation you probably have a good chance. It would help if you’re female, they accept 57% of female applicants compared to 49% of male applicants. Not uncommon for a tech school. </p>
<p>Your projected SAT score of 1900-2000 is right in the middle of their “25/75” range of 1820-2120 (25% scored below 1820, 25% scored above 2120). Plus as a public school they likely have a mandate to accept a certain percentage of in-state applicants. Only 26% of undergrads are from out of state. Good luck!</p>
<p>Ok, thanks for info. I feel terribly for screwing up my 10th grade (took just one honors class, because I didn’t understand the school system, and thought it is ok; we have a different system in Russia) and having some not good grades from my old school. I will try to write kick-ass essay, because I have a lot to tell about, probably it is going to save me. Currently I am planning backup colleges in case I will not be accepted into GA Tech. Are my stats good for UGA Computer Science? Are there any other good CS schools in Georgia?</p>
<p>As for other CS schools in Georgia; I’m not familiar with Georgia being a midwesterner. You may want to check this website and control for “Georgia” and research other possibilities:</p>
<p>finally, I’ve got my SAT scores. It was better than expected for the first try, but worse than actually needed. Math 710, Writing 630 , and most important Reading 550, cumulative 1890. I am really disappointed with reading part, but I understand that this is because I actually speak English only for 2 years. Is there any way to improve Reading section? I need to improve it a lot, at least to writing section level. Any help from people, especially people for whom English is the second language, would be much appreciated</p>
<p>U vsex takaya je problema bratik. Everyone especially international student struggles with reading. The only remedy for that is practicing. Keep practicing because practice makes perfect. Udachi tebe! Ya toje xochu v ga tech! Uvidemsya tam! Good luck!</p>
