Questions about the GaTech application

<p>I have a few questions about the application.</p>

<p>Under standardized testing, it asks for the Critical Reading/English score for my ACT. Should I put in my Crit score or English score? Also, for the Writing column, should I enter the writing subscore or the combined English/Essay score?</p>

<p>Under self reported academic record, is it ok if I just provide the final grade for the class? My school's transcript only has the final grade.</p>

<p>Do I have to send in my FAFSA form early if I'm applying by Oct 1, or can I send it in before the regular deadline of March 1st (something like that)?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>For ACT, put in Math, ENGLISH (not reading), and Writing (combined score). That’s what I did at least. They do not look at Writing for admissions anyway. </p>

<p>I’m not sure about the academic record thing, but my school only gave out final grades per semester, and I filled out the application fine.</p>

<p>You do not have to send in FAFSA early, as far as I know. FAFSA is unrelated to your actual application to the school.</p>

<p>Yes, only the math and English components, which is awesome!
I remember having only written down the final grades in my self-reported record. It’s fine.</p>

<p>Thanks for replies. </p>

<p>What about a 2 semester class, such as AP Biology. Should I enter it in as two different classes or what?</p>

<p>I think they ask you for semester scores anyway. My high school was on a semester system, and I put down two scores for each class I took (one grade per semester)</p>

6

<p>Do I need to send in a copy of my transcript when I apply? It doesn’t say anywhere that I need too.</p>

<p>so no, they use your self-reported record and then require verification via the transcript if you matriculate there.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies. Now for some more questions. </p>

<p>AP Chem, Bio, and Cal are all 2 semesters long. So we have a final grade at the end of each semester. I entered these grades into the first semester/second semester columns. Should I leave the final grade blank?</p>

<p>Also, I’m taking a AP Physcology online, through a distance learning program. I take the class during my period as Guidance Assistant so I don’t know if it will show up on my official transcript. Should I still enter it in, and what designation should I give it?</p>

<p>And no recs are required?</p>

<p>Not unless you are a PS semifinalist…</p>
