I’m going to open this by saying that I honestly can’t go to GT without this scholarship, and at this point I probably won’t be. According to their website, around a 2180 SAT is necessary. I got my scores today, and I have a 2150, but was disappointed to see that my 650 math score hadn’t gone up at all. I know they say students have been accepted that had lower than the average, but GT being GT, I’m assuming that normally happens when people do badly on critical reading or writing, not math. It is also virtually impossible for me to retake the SAT again.
I’m decently strong on the rest of my application (varsity sports, leadership in virtually every academic club in my school, IB programme, AP scholar award, and I’m female), but I don’t have anything too distinctive.
Chances?
