<p>She's highly intrested in GT and talks about it all the time. What are her chances? Please understand that I am in no way applying to GT, b/c I am not into math/science! :)</p>
<p>Stats(as far as I know):
White female at rural high school
- Taken the hardest classes</p>
<p>4.0 GPA (UW)
ACT: 22
ECs: NHS community serivce, marching band(9-12), concert band(9-12)</p>
<p>I think your friend needs to retake the ACT or take the SAT and get a much higher score. ECs seem a little weak, also. GPA is fine, but may not mean much if the hardest classes at that school are not AP.</p>
<p>Yes ACT needs to come up. GPA is fine (obviously). GT will take ACT and consider for admission but the 25th percentile was a 25 for last years admission class. </p>
<p>What engineering program is she applying to?</p>
<p>Has she taken sufficient math/science. GT has a pretty high standard for the amount of Math/Science classes required. Bring up the ACT and join another club, she should be fine.</p>
<p>does your friend have any extacurrics relating to science or engineering? that can always help- its good to show that you really have a passion. </p>
<p>g'luck</p>
<p>I'll tell her about the ec's relating to science. She's in Calculus and Chem II now. She's taken Chem I, Genetics, Biology and now Chem II. I am not sure which program she is applying to, but she's going into genetic engineering.</p>
<p>GT only looks at the math and english portions of the ACT- there's not even a place on the application for your composite score. I would definately try to bring those up.</p>
