<h2>The GT board isn't responding and I'd like to fill out my Personal Data Sheet asap... Thanks in advance!</h2>
<p>GT is most likely a reach for me, but still, I'd like to try my best. With my stats, should I apply to GT college or McDonough?</p>
<p>Asian female, immigrant from PRC 4 years ago
Intended major: most likely accounting, possibly a minor in music. Very interests in: music & arts, international relations.
SATs: 2100s
High School: Ranked top 100 in nation, MD, sends many students to top schools (in the past: all Ivies; bschools: UVA, MIT, NYU etc.), profile sheet of school goes with my transcript
GPA: 3.7s, APs + GT courses
APs: Econ(4s), Calc AB(5), Biology (5), EngLangComp(4), World History(4)
Senior yr schedule:
AP Spanish V, AP Eng Lit, AP Euro, AP Stats,
Internship in DC (see below),
Accounting II (My teacher allows me to self study for CLEP),
AP Calc C (though I want to drop it and take a music course instead, see below for explanation)</p>
<p>What I consider my assets:
- Native speaker for Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese), writing & speaking & translating
- Spanish AP this year (good writer & speaker)
- intern for a broadcasting station that promotes political and social freedom in Asia (social media, translator, web design, broadcasting)
- interview: With my childhood experiences in countries such as China, UK and the US, I usually come off well.
- DC art museum: outreach manager for programs directed towards teens.
- 1st place in state accounting competition
- president for local student business org.
- If I get deferred and they accept CLEP scores, I can send in my CLEP financial accounting scores (I'm confident that it'll be very good)</p>
<p>Doubts:
- GPA, SATs
- If applying to McDonough, do I have enough business-related experiences?</p>
<p>Other stats:
NHS, AP Scholar with Honor, MD distinguished scholar - honorable mention</p>
<p>Why GT
1. I became interested when my childhood mentor (from China) became an MBA grad student there 4 years ago, later went to Wall St.
2. Community: DC (international, multicultural etc.); Students with strong academics and characters, the IR & business programs; I tend to learn from different religions, but still consider myself conservative in some aspects, the Catholic environment sounds like a good match.
3. GT provides great study abroad opportunities (LSE etc., I've lived in Europe, goal is grad school in London)</p>
<p>Some more questions... Thanks!
1. Is it a guarantee that EA applicants will be interviewed?
2. Should I take the SAT Chinese exam? My county doesn't offer AP Chinese. Both of them sounds extremely elementary, and I wonder if I really need it - for one of my internships, I extensively use the language for editing, translating, broadcasting etc.
3. Would dropping AP Calc C now hurt my chances? It's not required for an accounting major and I'd like to have the time to work on my other strong interests such as computer music composition, broadcasting organization internship etc.</p>
<p>THE question again: With my stats, should I apply to GT college or McDonough?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
I’ll be forever and ever and ever and ever and ever grateful :D</p>
