<p>I am interested in Georgia tech, and am wondering if I could be accepted. I am out of state though, would it be a lot harder to get in? I have heard that it isn't. I am a junior in high school and want to go to school for BME.
I took the SAT for the first time and only got a 1930 (1320 on the old chart). I know I can bring this score up though. I am taking the ACT and have gotten in the 30s on most practice tests. My school does not give weight to GPAs, so mine is only about a 3.7. I am taking one AP this year and four next year, other than that a majority of my courses are honors. I am also a year ahead in math, science, and Spanish. I am a pretty good artist and have gotten some awards for my work...
I participate in Science Olympiad and am/will soon be the captain of my school's FRC (FIRST Robotics) team.
Also, I am doing a research project related to BME at RPI's biotech center.
Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>It used to be harder for OOS to get in, but now the admit rate for in state is actually lower. The Hope/Miller scholarship program has greatly increased the in state demand.</p>
<p>Only 27% of enrolled class had GPA less than 3.75, so you will need a good test score and EC story to have good odds of admittance.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the feedback. So I should shoot for a 2100 or so on the SAT? What really killed my score was an awful 610 writing, which I should be able to bring up.</p>
<p>get higher SAT; like 2050-2100+ would be acceptable.</p>
