Should I even apply?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgia Institute of Technology

<p>It seems like everyone in my school who applied to Tech got in on early action, so I'm wondering if it is even worth it to me to pay to $50 to apply. </p>

<p>Best Scores</p>

<p>Sat:
math: 700
CR: 610
Writing: 660</p>

<p>Act:
Math: 34
Engish/writing: 30
Science 26
Reading: 31</p>

<p>I really don't want to list all my grades and stuff. I have a CNA of 94.6 my class rank is 62/569. Taken 7 honors and 9 AP classes. </p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
top 4 clubs
Student council
enviromental club
NHS
Homecoming/prom committees</p>

<p>Arts
Chorus all 4 years </p>

<p>Sports
JV Track
dance and swim (community)</p>

<p>Volunteer
library (30 hours)
Hosipital (60 hours)</p>

<p>so not a great match, average. Should I even bother because it seems like everyone with my like scores/activities already got in? Thanks!</p>

<p>I'm a girl btw. probably doesn't help much though</p>

<p>Grades (parentheses are the unweighted grades/schools add 7 honors points to ap/honors classes without parentheses are the weighted grades/ what shows up on my transcript)</p>

<p>9th </p>

<p>h. BIO 99/99 (92/92 unweighted)
H. LIT 96/97 (89/90 unweighted)
H. GEO 101/99 (94/92 unweighted)
span 2 92/93
gov 95</p>

<p>10th</p>

<p>H. chem 97/93 ( 90/86)
H. lit 93/97 (86/90)
H. alg 2 95/95 (88)
AP world 99/98 (92/91)
span 3 91/93
here’s where it got sort of bad </p>

<p>11
AP USH 86/93 (79/86)
AP BIO 92/92 (85/85)
AP HUMAN GEO 95/96 (88/89)
AP Lang 90/95 (83/85)
H. Precal…really really bad 82/85 (75/78)
span 4 91/92</p>

<p>12 so far (all unweighted not in CNA)</p>

<p>AP cal AB 92
AP psychology 90 (does it count?)
AP Lit 88
AP Physics 84
Human Anatomy 93</p>

<p>i know someone with a nearly 91 CNA who got in early, so i’m thinking the grades are okay.</p>

<p>stellastar23: why would they not want someone like you if they took others with similar scores/grades? Sounds like you would be a great fit, with tough courses, solid grades, and great involvement.</p>

4

<p>no, I think i would get in, but like i said before, almost everyone with the same scores as me already got in, so I’m thinking I’m a bit to late, so should I even waste the money?</p>

5

<p>If Tech has the education you want and you want to go there, what have you got to lose? Live your dream! You’ll not get in if you don’t apply.</p>

6

<p>it just seems to me, since most people like me already got accepted, they probably have a smaller alloment now, probably for overqualified students. It just makes me wonder if it is worth it for me to finish the application.</p>

7

<p>So, do you want to wonder for the rest of your life “What if?”? Finish the application and enjoy knowing you gave it your best shot…</p>

8

<p>Actually, I’m pretty sure Early Action is harder to get into than Regular Decision. You look like a good match.</p>

9

<p>you’re right. I just finished my application a few minutes ago. send it on monday.</p>

<p>Bet you make the cut! Good luck!</p>
