<p>Everything looks good. The only problem I see is that the competition has gone way up this year. So there is no way of knowing what it will be like next year. Given that I would suggest taking the SAT your math ACT is a 32 which is a SAT 720-730.For all we know that may not be high enough next year. Since they superscore you may be able to bring that up on the SAT. Also try and take some SAT II subject test’s. They don’t require them but they do look at them. Make sure and send your AP scores to them. Finally apply EA do not wait. It may be harder to get in RD. Good Luck!</p>

<p>I have a lot of friends who just were accepted into tech considering I live in georgia and I’m a junior, but they do defer a lot of white males. From what you posted though you have a spectacular academic record you have a great chance of being accepted. I toured the campus and my tour guide was an aerospace engineer. He said it was hard but it’s the most interesting major at the college</p>
