<p>Hello. I am a senior in Georgia who wants to get into GA Tech. I moved to the US on my sophomore year, did not speak english, so I did not take that many challenging classes in 10th and, obviously, 9th because my classes in Russia did not count as Honors or AP. My stats are as following:</p>

<p>SAT I:
My best is 1990 in one seat (Math 770, CR and W are in mid 600)
Retaking it in October (aiming for 2100+)</p>

<p>SAT II:
Math 2 - 790, US History - 740</p>

<p>ACT:
28 Comp. If superscored (took 2 times), about 30-31
Retaking in September (aiming for 32+)</p>

<p>AP Exams:
Only one so far (AP US History), got a 5.</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA is around 3.7-3.8 (will provide more accurate details on GPA later)</p>

<p>Got A's in all science/math classes in the US (got B in math and physical science in Russia in 9th grade).</p>

<p>Junior Year:</p>

<p>1st semester:
American Lit (A)
Honors Pre-Calc (A)
BVP (A)
Web-Design (A)
Honors Human Anatomy (A)
AP US History (B)</p>

<p>2nd:
Honors American Lit (B, switched to Honors from regular)
BVP (A)
Honors Pre-Calc (A)
Web-Design(A)
Honors Anatomy (A)
AP US History (B, despite getting a 5 on the AP exam)</p>

<p>Senior year schedule (pretty sure gonna get A's in all of them):
AP Calc BC
AP Physics B
AP Psychology
AP Micro Econ/AP Gov
Men's Chorus
AP Lit</p>

<p>EC's:
200+ hours community volunteering
Tutoring a student who failed 1st semester, but after my tutoring passed with a high B
CS Certificate from Udacity
Opened my own repository on GitHub with programs I write and publish (such as a prototype of a search engine, cellular automation, and etc.)
Mozilla Verbatim (Mozilla Localization Team) Top Contributor from the Russian branch
Reddit Localization Team Leader/Reviewer (the top position one can achieve, currently I am the only one from the Russian branch of it who has this position)
Aeronautics Team member
Math Team Leader (not official name, just by in-team placements on tournaments, usually #1 or #2 out of 18)
Chess Club Top Player</p>

<p>Also, I am hosting and writing problems for my own Math Tournament at my school (but it is in February, so, I think, it is late) as a senior project.</p>

<p>I also was a member of Drama Club and Photography club at my school, but really did not do a lot there, so I don't even want to list it.</p>

<p>I would like someone to chance me for Georgia Tech as of right now, and if I get 2100 on SAT or 31+ on ACT.</p>

<p>Also, should I apply Early Action (does not bind me, I just get decision earlier, in December) or wait for the first semester grades (but the decision is gonna be in April then)?</p>

<p>As promised, today I got my transcript and calculated my GA Tech GPA ([GPA</a> and Rigor of Curriculum | Admission](<a href=“Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission”>Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission)), it is 3.79 UW and 3.83 W. Taking this into light, should I wait for the 1st semester grades or apply early?</p>

<p>Write a good essay and you should at least get deferred if not admitted. Make sure to highlight and elaborate on the extracurricular activities that impacted you the most/you had the most impact on.</p>

<p>I would just apply now and if they want your 7th semester grade they’ll defer and ask for that when it comes out. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you very much, I might want to do that, but I fear that I will get rejected instead of deferred, but thanks. Also, for those who are interested in GA Tech, today I talked to their admission officer, and they said that starting this year they ARE considering your AP Score and SAT II Subject test scores (it is optional).</p>
