<p>I'm also pointing out to Georgia Tech that I couldn't give clubs and extracurricular activities my all because the highschool was in a different city half an hour drive away from my home. Although I was very active in the Mu Alpha Theta.</p>

<p>I fear that my GPA and SAT may be a little too below the competitive range. That and my extracurriculars aren't perfect but probably just "good".</p>

<p>Your GPA is a little low, but not uncompetitive. A 1700 SAT would be uncompetitive. Get that SAT to 2000+ and you have a decent shot. I would also look to expand your EC’s over the summer / next year. Try to start a new club or get involved in a few community service events.</p>

<p>Well, I just got a volunteer job at a government wildlife/forest park. Adding this to the list.</p>
