Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I recently decided that I want to do Biomedical engineering. Since my home state is Georgia, I’d really like to go to GA Tech. I finished my first semester at Emory and it didn’t go so well
My grades: Humanities class: A, Bio elective and Intro Chem: 2 B+ and B-, and Intro Bio: C+…my schedule was pretty difficult, and I’m really involved with my ECs. I had some stuff going on at home, and yeah, I just messed up pretty bad. I have a really good high school record, and was admitted to GA Tech and the GA Tech honors program when I was a senior in high school. Does anyone have any advice about what I should do about my terrible GPA? I know I’ll need to get my grades up before I can think of applying to GA Tech.
So, how much higher should I get my GPA up before I can apply to Tech and have a shot at getting in? Also, what classes should I take next semester. I’ve got credit in Calculus at Tech , but not at Emory (since Emory doesn’t accept a score of a 3)?
Sorry that it was lengthy, thanks for the advice!!
