Could i get into georgia tech?-read all of this please
My gpa is a little lower than a 3.2 like a 3.16 i think… Let me explain: my freshman and sophomore year i could have cared less about school. Like seriously… I failed two classes my sophomore year and paid hell for it. Going into junior year i had a 2.4… Yeh. But i worked my *** off to raise it to where it is. Junior year i had no clue what a “b” was and didnt settle for less than a 90-92 pulling a 4.0 both semesters and taking several online classes as well as credit recovery to make up some failed classes. (getting an A in all of those as well.)
I never took ap until senior year… Once i got to senior year i took several including 4th year language aka AP french.
Testing wise i got about a 2300 on the sat… I am a smart person i just dont apply myself when needed…
I had some extracurricular stuff too. Was on varsity tennis three years, did latin club, mock trial(debate), environmental club and interned at an insurance office for work. I do have some community service hours as well. I know im leaving out some clubs, ill post later.

People tell me colleges look for improvement which i think i have seriously displayed… What are your thoughts? Do colleges look mostly at junior year? Thats where i shined… If you have any advice on what else i might do to make myself look better PLEASE POST!

Thanks everyone…

Also forgot to mention i have attended summer camps and other “get-ahead” events on their campus. Also i heard being a minority helps to get in idk if its true but im an in-state minority.
