<p>Extracurriculars: Real World Design Challenge - junior year I served as the communicator and one of the designers for the surface transportation team, our team placed in the top 7 in the nation and recieved a national merit award. Senior year I am again communicator, back up mathematician and one the designers. The challenge uses Creo and mathcad so I have a general knowledge of those programs. This year I am on the senior Aviation oriented team.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.23 Unweighted and 3.78 weighted, ranked 91 of 700.</p>

<p>Will be taking AIME later on in the school year and 2nd semester of my Engineering class will be mechanical engineering 101 at UNLV (3 college credits I believe, can't remember).</p>

<p>I'll be applying for Georgia Tech's Aerospace Engineering program, I'm also applying to Embry-Riddle, and University of Arizona's Aerospace Engineering programs and been accepted to Penn State's Aerospace Engineering Program at University Park.</p>

<p>U do know that tech takes math kids more than anything. especially ur going to aeronautical meaning u need like 32+ on math for ACT or 730+ in SAT. plus, ur GPA is really bad for tech. the fact that u go a aviation school won’t really matter at all, trust me. it’s all about what u can put on the table for them to look at. plus, u have no sat subject tests in math.</p>

<p>Honestly for Georgia Tech your going to need higher test scores and gpa.
I would say it will be a reach.</p>

<p>@goblin, Georgia Tech does not require Subject Tests.</p>

<p>I agree with KS. Your scores do not meet the middle 50% range for GT. I suggest you focus hard on your GPA and retake the SAT in January if possible.</p>

<p>Also, spend plenty of time on your essays, your EC’s can lead to some cool stories and a great deal of insight, it might trump the numbers you presented us.</p>

<p>Check out the GT College Forum on here for more info and seeing last year’s results.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
