<p>Hello, I'm Shannon! I've come to a bit of a dilemma -- I visited Georgia Tech yesterday and was given a tour by my friend's older sister. I used to not even consider applying to Tech, but after visiting, I think it may be the place for me. Unfortunately, I excel easily in liberal arts and have to work harder in science and math. I talked to a student who is in the liberal arts program at Tech and minoring in science and I really like that idea! I've got a competitive work ethic and am very involved in my community and at school but my SAT math score is lower than what Tech usually accepts...
Would I have a chance at getting into Tech? Here's some info on me:</p>
<p>Female
Junior

Live about 30 minutes away from GA Tech</p>
<p>SAT:

(These scores were in the same sitting & I've only taken the test twice, getting the same Math grade each time.)</p>
<p>4.3 GPA Weighted
3.9 GPA Unweighted
4.9 GPA for last semester
Top 10% in 11th Grade
Took AP World History in 10th grade an got a 4 on the exam
Currently taking AP US History, AP Psychology, and AP Language
Senior year: Doing dual enrollment at a nearby college for 2 classes (haven't decided which yet, or if I should take any at all) & taking AP Statistics or Calculus, AP Environmental Science, AP Lit, AP Economy, AP Government, AP Spanish</p>
<p>I work in the summer and was promoted at 16 to leader of many college-aged coworkers, I lead a Catholic girls group every other Friday, I am in National Honor Society, English Honor Society, Model United Nations, and Beta Club (among others). I'm on the Girls Golf team and have Varsity lettered in my sport. </p>
<p>It's hard to talk myself up on paper (or over the internet, for that matter), but do you think I'd have a chance at getting into Tech? I know I'm not extremely Tech-ish, but I am very academic-minded and I just think UGA is a little too big and too much of a party school. I am in LOVE with Athens, but I just had this vibe at Tech that I'd fit in better. Almost all my friends say I'm a Georgia girl and that they could see me in a sorority at UGA (definitely will join one in college), but I just don't think any of them realize how truly nerdy I am (& proud of it!). I also plan on getting my masters degree.</p>
<p>Okay, thank you so much! All opinions are appreciated! If I could go out of state I would, but I need to make use of my Hope scholarship (so if there are any other Georgia schools you think I would be better suited for, please let me know!). Thanks again!</p>
