Hello everyone,
I am a senior in high school looking to apply to Georgia State University this year. I am hoping to get some realistic feedback on my chances, also some advice on how I can improve my chances when applying. Here’s my summary :
GPA : 2.5 (unweighted)
SAT: 1410 (New SAT)
AP courses: 10 , (US history, Calculus, Psychology, Government, Statistics, Macro and Micro economics, Biology, Lit, Environmental)
AP Exams : I have only taken 4 so far : APES 4 , US history 4, Government 4, and Bio 3
Intended Major: Computer Science
Nationality: First generation Ethiopian (Oromo) and first college
Clubs: I only hold one leadership position in a club (Oromo youth association) and participate in a few others

I realize my GPA is lacking but I have never taken any core classes that weren’t Accelerated, gifted, or honors. Also, I plan or writing about why it is low in my application.
Also, I live in Georgia and go to a really competitive math and science school.
Thanks !

What’s your weighted GPA? They’ll definitely take your rigor into consideration. In other categories. you seem to be above their averages, so I think your GPA is the only thing that might make your chances a little smaller. Good luck!

You’ll definitely get in with that sat score!
