I’m a senior that’s really worried. I want GATech to be my #1 school that I apply to. However, there is one problem. My freshman year was quite disastrous. I’ll post the stats below, and maybe someone can tell me where I stand and give a rough decision: likely, not likely, most likely in, etc.

I have a 3.64 UW and 3.81 W. I attend a semi-small public school in GA that offers very few AP classes. (extreme upward trend. 3.2 W/3.0 UW freshman year to 4.0 UW/4.5W Junior year.) I’ve taken the most rigorous course load at my school, and have even advocated for additional AP Courses, which got passed by the county after a year of pestering them. I wish GATech would take Counselor Recs, as my counselor has a lot to say about me changing the school and community. I also took a pre-cal course at a local university and made an A+, but that will unfortunately not be factored into my GPA.

Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Asian-Indian
SAT: I’m taking in Oct. Based on practice tests in Blue Book, I’ll probably score between 1900 and 2000. Please assume that I get around a 1960. 760 W, 610 CR, and 590 M
