my chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgia Institute of Technology

<p>I'm a white student from Florida, starting to apply.</p>

<p>Academics:</p>

<p>I've got a 4.25 GPA(probably higher, once you control for non-academics),</p>

<p>a 760 Math, 750 Reading, 680 Writing for a Total of 2190 on the SAT, and an 8 on the essay</p>

<p>Volunteer:</p>

<p>plan on 180 hours from volunteering at a library, a few dozen from a service project getting gifts to needy children that I started, and a few more dozen from a smattering of small activities for a total in the 230-250 range</p>

<p>Clubs/EC's:</p>

<p>two years of Tennis(junior/senior)
Beta Club member(probably President next year)
Math Club
Trivia Team Captain</p>

<p>I've also worked retail for a year now, will be two by the time I leave for school.</p>

<p>I'll also be top 10% of my class and have 3 APs in Statistics, Calculus BC, and Chemistry, all 4s or 5s, and have completed the Cambridge AICE Academic prep program... which is basically IB but sponsored by Cambridge University. I think it recieves the same weight as IB. In any case, that's 9-10 IB-level courses from junior to senior year and all honors courses my first two years of high school(which explains my high GPA).</p>

<p>I'm really stressing this... I got home from visiting GA Tech this evening and fell in love. What do you think my chances are? Thanks!</p>

<p>highly likely. Apply early for PS. Spend time on application to make it good. Your writing/essay could come up some.</p>

<p>I’ll be retaking the SAT as well as the Subject tests and the ACT in the coming months… but that’s where I have a problem. The next SAT test dates I have available are in early October- which is after the deadline if I want early notification! </p>

<p>My SAT scores are above the 75th percentile for GA Tech students right now, I know… so should I just not worry about waiting and apply early anyway, to get early notice, or would waiting for a slightly higher score(which I am confident I can earn) be a better option?</p>

<p>You are in!</p>

<p>Looks good. REst assure that you will be at GT next year!</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, what’s the unweighted GPA?</p>
