Chances and a few questions

1. Do I have a decent shot at admission with where I currently stand?



Even in the 3.6’s is low for Tech, your SAT score is average, and your EC’s are average. I think there’s a very good chance you’ll be deferred early (a very low chance you’ll be rejected early), then I’m 50/50 on admission/rejection on regular decision, but leaning towards admission.



2. I can take the SAT’s again in October, but then will I be able to apply ED?



According to their website, the October SAT scores should arrive in time for Early Notification.



3. Should I take Subject Tests in October or work on improving my SAT reasoning score?



That’s up to you. However, GT doesn’t require subject tests and others on here have reportedly been told that subject tests are not considered for admission (though I somewhat doubt that), so I would work on improving that SAT I score to make up for the low GPA.
