<p>Honestly, your GPA is just not high enough for Tech. Your SAT is ok and your extracurriculars are good…</p>

<p>I’m curious how you got that GT GPA. If you’re a typical HS senior with 6 semester of 8 classes / semester finished so far, that’s 6<em>8 = 48 grades. With your UWGPA, that’s 48</em>3.02 = 145 quality points. 4 AP courses * 2 semesters / course * 0.5 = 4 extra quality points for a total of 149 weighted quality points. / 48 grades = 3.10 GPA. </p>

<p>Eitherway, a 3.1 GPA or a 3.4 GPA is not competitive for GT at all. Add to that a Math and CR SAT score below average, and you’re not likely to be admitted. Maybe deferred early, but not admitted.</p>

<p>Very little chance…sorry man. It’s still good that you applied though - you have a better chance if you apply than if you don’t.</p>

5

<p>what are your back-up schools?</p>

6

<p>Going to be pretty tough. The majority of the freshmen here got above 750 on the math portion for the SAT.</p>

7

<p>@piao1991:you think having a high SAT 1 math score would be an advantage?I have a 760 in math but 540 in reading and 630 in writing.I’ve repeated in november now and i’m expecting further improvement in math,you think that could be an advantage.
I also have 800 on the math subject test.</p>

<p>With your GPA, the only thing that will really help is either some sort of exceptional EC (like winning a national or international competition) or having a great hook shot.</p>

<p>@piao 1991- The college board statistics beg to differ:
[College</a> Search - Georgia Institute of Technology - Georgia Tech - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)
The top 25% got higher than a 750.</p>

<p>Your post scared me because I hate math problems on standardized tests, and only have a 690.</p>

10

<p>a 690 is not a bad score. Honestly, once you go to Tech it doesnt matter at all what you got on the SAT, but what you learned in high school. I made a 680 on the SAT math and am doing better in my Calc 2 class then many people who got 700+. The SAT does not show how good you are at math, since I have the second hardest calc teacher at Tech and almost have an A.</p>

11

<p>@ ilyssa, who is you calc 2 teacher, Geronimo?</p>

12

<p>^u got it…</p>

13

<p>so basically
i wont get in :&lt;/p>

<p>do they pay much attention to the essay?
I actually think I did pretty good on my essay</p>

<p>Your GPA is so low they won’t get that far.</p>
