<p>Hey I’m a Senior in CS so feel free to ask any questions. </p>
<p>Those stats look good but honestly nothing is guaranteed. I actually was in the same boat as you maybe with a lower GPA and with a 1250(out of 1600) SAT and I got into university studies and easily switched into engineering after my freshman year which is easy as long as you take the required freshman courses at tech and pass. However I was in-state though. </p>
<p>I’ve heard of people with similar stats like me get in and I’ve heard of more competitive students with even 3.7/3.8 GPA’s get denied or put on the wait list. So it’s kind of a luck thing. I think your SAT is strong and may get you in. One thing that they seem to really care about are AP/IB courses. I only took 5 or 6 AP classes total but that was most of what was offered at my High School. </p>
<p>They only give you maybe 250 words for a personal statement which is your essay basically and they really don’t look at extra-c’s and recommendations that much. Tech is mostly a numbers school because of the number of applicants.</p>
