<p>Hi guys! I graduated HS in 2014 and used CC a lot during my time there, and I think as long as it is used properly CC is a great and helpful community! Because of this and my new founded experience in college I really wanted to open this thread up to any questions you have for me! I won’t be Chancing you but I love answering questions and would love to give back to a community that helped me out a lot while I was in HS.</p>
<p>A little about me in HS:
Scores: 35ACT, 780 Physics SAT, 750Math I, 710Math II
GPA: 4.0
APs: US(5),Euro(5), Both Englishes(4), Psych(4), Physics B(4), Calc AB(1), Calc BC(1, 4subscore), Chemistry(5), Gov(5)
Applied: MIT, Caltech, Carnegie Mellon, Harvey Mudd, Cornell, Stanford, GT
Accepted: GT
I was a recruited Athlete at MIT, Caltech, CMU, and Harvey Mudd for soccer; MIT and Caltech both really wanted me</p>
<p>Now:
Major: EE
Things I’m apart of: Club soccer, Whitewater Kayaking through ORGT(outdoor recreation GT), leadership program called CORE(also through ORGT)
Regrets: None!</p>
<p>GT is Georgia Tech! Sadly I don’t believe it is given the credit is deserves! We are a public University in Georgia and focus on Engineering, but also have very good business and liberal arts schools! (Our liberal arts program is the 5th highest paid outside of college) We were recently ranked the #1 Public college in the US by Business Insider! We also have the #1 Industrial Engineering program in the country for around 2 decades! </p>
<p>I’m currently AP Chemistry. I get A’s in all of my courses, but I just checked my grade and I got another F for my AP Chem test. He puts things on the tests that we don’t study, and have no prior knowledge of. How did you study for this class? How did you get a five? I’m kind of having a panic attack atm, since it’s my only grade below 90 (80%)</p>
<p>Honestly for my class it was absolute hell getting over a 92% (needed for the A)! Most of my tests were 70s-80s and occasionally on the 70s I was allowed corrections to earn back half credit! I put in a lot of work to get participation credit and make sure my HW was always 100 to pull off a 91.7 which was rounded up! For your individual class I don’t know how I can help you study because I am not in the class, but for the exam, Princeton’s Cracking the AP Chem Exam helped me a lot!</p>
<p>Also on another note, its important to get good grades, but I can tell you first hand that grades in HS aren’t worth getting worked up for if you can relax! If not, then I suggest you learn or College will be a shock!</p>
<p>It depends what your school classifies it as! Some schools say 90-100% is a 4.0, most colleges will recompute it their way and keep it in that area of 90-100 for an A!</p>
<p>I am from Georgia! I like to think that is actually pretty hard for everyone to get in. I know that people say it is easier for in state because they accept around 60% in state, but there are also A LOT more in state applicants. The school is getting harder and harder to get into each year. The percentage dropped from <50% to right about 30% and I think it is only going to continue to drop. GT acceptance rate is finally starting to reflect it’s actual academics! SO, its getting pretty hard now!</p>
