Ease my regrets...

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Right now I am a second year in-state student at georgia tech. Back when I was filling out applications for fall 2010 this was the only school I applied for. I did this for two main reasons. Firstly, my parents make a lot of money but are not willing to help out much with school and everyone was telling me how important it is too graduate debt free ( GT is practically free for instate with hope). Second, while I felt like a shoe in for tech, other schools seemed like a bit of a reach, and college applications take too much effort just to find out you have been rejected. While I love tech, some of my friends at MIT seem to be learning a lot more and I am filled with a lot of regret for not trying. I will list some of my basic high school stats and just tell me if you think I would have gotten in. </p>

<p>Academic:
GPA 3.91/4.0
Calc , Chem , and phys class awards ( each awarded two 1 person in my class of 800)
3rd place state science fair 1st in school and county.
SAT: 1430/1600 or 2010/2400 ( Math: 690 , English:710 Writing: 610)
ACT : 30 ( do not remember composites)
AP: Calc, Chem, Lang , World History, Physics , Econ, and Gov. 5's on all except physics.<br>
EC:
Member of NHS
Marching band section leader
Jazz band lead trumpet
I received top marks in a few musical competitions.
Fencing</p>

<p>Thats about all I can remember off the top of my head. Haha this sounds backwards but I hope you guys tell me that I would not have made it :p. Really wish I had taken the time to apply just so I would not have these concerns in my mind. But hey, at least I will be graduating debt free...</p>

<p>high reach/very unlikely.
assuming that is your weighted grade. reach if unweighted.</p>

<p>I can tell you right now that you would not have made it. 30 ACT is by no means good enough for MIT. You might have made it into UCB if you were lucky but GT is probably the best place you could have ended up.</p>

<p>Haha well that is reassuring to hear, now all I have to regret is not doing any work in high school :stuck_out_tongue: . Either way Georgia Tech is going really well so I wont have anything to regret when I graduate from here. Thanks for the reassurance!</p>

5

<p>Oh redteabag, that is unweighted btw.</p>

<p>not happening…sorry. just so you know: i love your screen name, secondly, GA Tech is FABULOUS and you can make a ton of cash after you graduate, just as much as any guy from MIT (unless they’re going to sloan business @MIT in which case they will make LOTS of money…)</p>
