Engineering Graduate School

<p>I was wondering what it would take for me to get into MIT Graduate School for aerospace or mechanical engineering. I am currently a senior in high school and I will be attending Georgia Tech next year. In high school, I was 5 steps behind everybody else on applying to college, and I want to change things for graduate school, which is why I am asking these questions now. I would also like to go to any other graduate school such as Caltech, Stanford, University of California Berkeley, Cornell, or any equivalent college.</p>

<p>Do they ask for your high school transcripts/SATs? Do they look at college extracurricular activities? Do they look at college research projects? What kind of GPA would they look for from Georgia Tech? What graduate standardized test scores should I get? How important are teacher recommendations?</p>

<p>The only thing I really have going for me is math, (770 SAT), I am enrolled in AP Physics, AP Calculus, and AP Statistics. My reading/writing could be better (530 CR SAT and 560 Writing SAT), what are the best ways that I could improve this for the GRE?</p>

<p>Any advice helps- Thanks :)</p>

<p>Do they ask for your high school transcripts/SATs? HELL NO!!!
Do they look at college extracurricular activities?YES!!
Do they look at college research projects? HELL YES!!
What kind of GPA would they look for from Georgia Tech? Mostly, last 60 credits or last two years…which ever comes first.
What graduate standardized test scores should I get? GRE
How important are teacher recommendations? VERY VERY Important!!</p>

<p>With a 770 on your SAT and with 4 years of an engineering program…your golden for the GRE. Your verbal and writing is solid so about the time you take the GRE you should be in good shape. BTW your verbal and writing part of the GRE doesnt count too much when applying grad school for engineering. For schools you mention a mid 500 to low 600 in the verbal for the GRE is avg.</p>
