Georgia Tech?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I hear March 15 and I'm reaally nervous.
I got accepted to Auburn, Ohio State, UGA and University of Kentucky. Just waiting on this one.</p>

<p>Applying for mechanical engineering
Top 12(ish?)% of my class
GPA: 3.8 unweighted
ACT: 26
SAT: 1600/2400
I know, my standardized test scores are always awful...
I'd say my essays were pretty good on the application.</p>

<p>I live in Ohio right now, but this summer my parents are moving to Georgia (why I applied here partially).
In AP biology and art history
I was in National Honor Society (junior and senior year), marching band all 4 years (3 instruments, first chair 2 years, section leader for marching band 2 years), Pep band 4 years, ski club 4 years, muse machine 4 years, Vice president of leo club this year, treasurer last year, other community service groups too.</p>

<p>I'm female too? haha does that help?
So, how bad does it look?</p>

<p>What’s the breakdown on those test scores?</p>

3

<p>SAT:
Math 550
English 540
Writing 510
ACT:
English 30
The rest 24’s
Second time I took it I got a 25 on math though. (I took in 3 times - 26 every time x_x)</p>

<p>Well, SAT scores could be higher, same with the ACT. It actually helps that you’re out of state, and you extra curricular activities will help too. I think you stand a shot.</p>

<p>ha, yeah standardized tests have always been my downfall.
I sent in a letter of recommendation with my app., too. Hopefully that helps. </p>

<p>Thank you! :D</p>

<p>Like koliv said GPA and ECs look good, and the fact that your a female going for engineering always helps. If you can boost your SAT/ACT up you are definately in I believe, but at the moment its an average shot.</p>

<p>Not to be a debbie downer, but you are probably not gonna get in with a 1600. To stand a decent shot for Tech, you gotta have a 1900+. Your GPA is really good though and your Ec’s are pretty good too, so who knows…</p>

<p>yeah, I’m sorta on the fence, I guess. Dang sat/act. That’s why I’m getting so freaked out about this. I really want to go here. We’ll see though.
I have backups though, of course.</p>

</p>

<p>It doesn’t. Tech does not differentiate between in-state and out-of-state for application purposes. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I would be very surprised if you get in. Tech takes the better of the SAT/ACT, which is your ACT. Tech weighs the Math ACT much heavier than the others, and a 24/25 just isn’t enough for admission. Admitted students usually have a 30 to 32 Math ACT score. </p>

<p>You might get a GTS/AASU offer, though. See here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/georgia-institute-technology/671218-what-does-gts-aasu-mean.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/georgia-institute-technology/671218-what-does-gts-aasu-mean.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Well as an update - I was wait-listed
I’m okay with it (with my test scores), too. I have other schools I’m completely happy with.
There’s still a chance for me though :slight_smile:
Even though I’m now leaning towards other schools :P</p>
