SAT/ECs vs GPA

<p>This isn't a chances thread!!!</p>

<p>I have a so-so GPA, because I've been lazy in hs,(compared to other CCers) but if practice tests are any indication I have a good SAT score (>2250) and I am also very passionate about Physics (intended major) and computer programming (can program in JavaScript, HTML, Perl, Unix and Ruby, learned from my dad) do you think that Caltech would disregard my mediocre GPA, because they'd be able to see my potential...</p>

<p>And I can almost guarantee that my Junior/Senior grades will be VERY high</p>

<p>Can anyone also tell me how I could show my passion for physics besides doing well in the class...</p>

<p>Thanks I appreciate it a lot!</p>

<p>You would need to show that you have potential...</p>
