Please Chance Me for Georgia Tech

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I will be applying to Georgia Tech in the fall for Early Action, my stats are as follows:</p>

<p>I am an Asian American (Indian) Male from California, so I will be applying out of state.</p>

<p>GPA
(9-12) UW: 3.66
(9-12) W: 4.16
(10-12) UW: 3.71
(10-12)W: 4.38</p>

<p>Rank: 28/561 (Barely top 5%)</p>

<p>I'm afraid this is a bit weak because, not only did I slack my freshman year, but there were also no ap or otherwise weighted courses available that year at my school. I have, however, a massive upward trend following freshman year. In addition, I have largely taken the most rigorous courses offered at my school. I was one of 5 people that took 2 AP classes sophomore year and I was one of 3 people that took 6 APs Junior Year. I was also the only one to get a 5.0 one semester and a 4.83 (one B) the other. I will have taken 13 AP classes by the time I graduate.</p>

<p>SAT I (GT Superscores?) 2200 composite
CR: 680 (ouch!)
M:800
W:720</p>

<p>SAT II
Math II: 760 will retake in October to hopefully get 800
Bio: 720
US Hist.: 700</p>

<p>AP Scores (Still waiting for release in July)
World Hist.: 5
CS.: 5</p>

<p>My brother goes to Tech if that helps anything, doubt it, but it's there.</p>

<p>Recommendation letter will come from my math teacher who I had for both sophomore and junior years. She really liked my presence in her class and I am expecting a great letter from her.</p>

<p>Still have yet to write the essays, but I think they will be fairly well written and express my interests quite well.</p>

<p>Georgia tech: match
Good test scores and ec’s. Keep it up and good luck!</p>

<p>You don’t need to retake the Math II subject test… once you have 760+, you’re done. </p>

<p>You have a really good chance though. </p>

<p>@hawkace @DaneBrick Thanks guys! Do you have any suggestions about what I could do at this point to increase my chances?</p>

<p>Keep up your grades and ec’s, maybe retake bio or us. There’s no point in retaking math 2 since colleges view a 760 and 800 not much differently. You could even retake your SAT if you feel like it but I don’t think it’s necessary.</p>

<p>@DaneBrick‌ Alright, thanks for the advice!</p>
