So helpful!! Now I am a member of GT ‘27!!!
I remember watching this 4 months ago. Now, im a GT class of 27. Thanks dude fr
Was accepted to GT as an out of state student for aerospace engineering. I’ve heard how hard it was to get in there and I was not thinking I’d get in. My SAT score followed what the guy said in the video. Heavy math (790) and average reading (650). The thing I can say the most is that touring, demonstrated interest, and taking the hardest classes known to man is important. I didn’t have much stem related ECs. I focused on what felt right to me and lead teen mental health groups that presented to school districts around my state (Massachusetts). Right now I’m currently torn between GT and the university of notre dame. good luck to any high schoolers looking to apply!
This is relatively similar to me, I'm an out-of-state student and I wish to be accepted for Aerospace engineering, though I haven't taken the SAT yet or have participated in any STEM-related EC's, though I plan to participate in them this summer. The only thing I practically have as of now is my relatively high unweighted GPA of 3.9, though I'm only in my Junior year, I'm really hoping I can get in.
I wish I could get in for aerospace engineering. I'm scared my sat is going to be bad. I take it in November. I have good grades and a 3.9 gpa. do you think I have a chance with a low sat? (650 math at minimum)
Excellent Universities to choose from. Congratulations.
great video!
Just wanted to thank you. I watched your video a few months ago, and I got into GT for class of 27 as an OOS, white male.
hii! I just got accepted too! I'm international 🇲🇨
would you mind sharing your stats?
Hey Meister …. Undoubtedly a detailed vid,,, moreover considering application season,,,, much awaited. Requesting again… please mention requirements for international student while applying & especially FINANCIAL AID . Have a great day
Thanks for watching. I won't be doing any videos on financial aid for the foreseeable future. I encourage you to learn about specific universities' policies on aid for international students by visiting their individual financial aid websites. All colleges also have specific pages devoted to international student application requirements. Good luck.
Hi! Just wanted to remind upcoming seniors that colleges, including gatech, review applications HOLISTICALLY. See, i got accepted with a relatively low SAT (very low when compared to the average). 1200! 😢 But i took the IBDP and had plenty few leadership positions, a major-related internship, and volunteer experiences. Dont think that a single bad aspect would ruin your whole application!
how do you get internships during highschool?
@@hermergur I reached out to adults around me! teacher, friends, family friends, online, etc saying I have a basic web dev skill and would love to use it to help
What was your ib score?
Really good stuff. I am applying EA1 this year and will select travel abroad, summer first term, and I will try an extra curricular resume to be more descriptive. I will update results in a couple months!
Also being in-state isn’t going to help if one attends a feeder school of which there are plenty across the state.
I will take 10 ap classes, and 4 dual credits by the end of my highschool career, 33 on act, 4.556 weighted GPA, and i would be a legacy, I am also out of state, will it be likely for me to get in? My writing skills are relatively strong, however I struggle with grammar/punctuation.
Hi! What are my chances as a student that moved to the U.S. during sophomore year and I didnt do much during that year, yet in my junior year I got into the Ib program, have a leadership position at two clubs and Im a member of honor and hispanic honor society, I also want to try out for the tennis team and I have been part of an organization for one year and Im also part of the red cross. Im scared because I didnt have as much time as others who have been always living here. If I get good ACT/SAT scores would my chances increase? Please be honest
If the student opts for the summer start, can the student slow down later on and graduate in the summer 4 years later? And if they opt for the fall away to Europe, are there other Georgia Tech in the same boat? Freshmen also? Thanks.
Hello,
I am a Dual Enrollment Student, Early graduate, I have a 3.857 unweighted GPA, I have multiple leadership positions in my school's Jrotc program, I am VP of my schools NJHS, and I did Flag football, what do you think my chances are?
So do colleges (like gt) also review your resume in regards to opportunities granted to you in high school? Like my school doesn’t offer as many APs compared to other schools. Would they recognize and take that into account?
Most high schools send high school profiles to colleges along with students' high school transcripts/recommendations; therefore, colleges are provided with information about what types of opportunities were available to the student within a particular school community. There can be no expectation that you take AP or IB courses, for instance, at a school that offers no IB or AP courses. Good luck.
I feel like you just handed me a ticket to Georgia Tech.
hello i am a male indian american with permanent residency, with 3.7 GPA. i am currently enrolled at OFTC in dublin. i am going to go for sat, and am expecting around 1200 in sat. will it be easy for me to get into georgiatech?
what if i have a 2.8
Does EA vs RD make a difference in admission rates? I am OOS and have a great SAT and a near perfect GPA for both 9th and 11th grade but had a mediocre 10th grade GPA due to some extraneous circumstances. I think I can get an awesome GPA for the fall semester and hence I think I can put forth a stronger application for the RD deadline as I can include one more semester of great grades farther removed from the mediocre 10th grade. But if applying RD vs EA will hurt my chances to get into competitive engineering majors, I will likely apply EA.
If your GPA will be measurably better AND available to share with Georgia Tech formally by your school for RD vs. EA2, then you can and should consider RD. EA1 is reserved for in-state (Georgia) applicants only. Good luck.
Hi,
I'm a junior right now and throughout high school, I've always taken the most challenging classes I can take. I had a 3.7 GPA freshman year, but I slumped in my sophomore year getting a 3.4 GPA. But now, in junior year I'm in all AP's and am getting all A-'s/As.
Additionally, I have solid extracurriculars and expect 2-3 board positions in my senior year. I also got a1520 on the SAT.
What do you think my chances are?
You're getting into a good position, but it will come down ultimately to your final junior year grades, senior year courses/1st quarter grades, and resume/essay. Good luck.
this is almost my exact situation🙃
How did your junior year go?
I'm a senior I got a 3.84 weighted and a 3.7 unweighted gpa, my SAT is a 1600, I went to boys state (selective summer camp where only 2 people get selected from a school, however I got lucky this year due to covid funds and everyone got selected) where I got elected as an attorney, participated in science Olympiad for 2 years (I did trajectory and dynamic planetary), I am doing a research passion project on the anatomy of the eye where I will then make a podcast about it, I wrestled for all 4 of my years and I was also the PT team captain for the JROTC athletic team. I want to study aerospace engineering at this school what do you think my chances are?
unless you have a really bad essay, there is absolutely no shot you don't get in
Watch the video and then follow through. Good luck!
I'm an instate first generation female hispanic mexican student according to Georgia Tech. I have a weighted GPA of 3.7 but I'm still in my senior year, so it could go up. I got a 1070 on my SAT, but I plan on retaking it two more times as well as the ACT. I took a bunch of clubs and have +130 hours of community service and got an award in Physics. I took 6 AP classes and 6 Honors classes and plan to take all my AP exams by the end of next year. I really wanna get my Ph.D in Computer Engineering, but I worry that COVID-19 ruined alot of opportunity I could have had. Do I still have a chance?
Update: Going to be a transfer student through the first generation pathway in 2024!
nicee
Do you think I have a chance with a 30 ACT and out of state? I'm from poor Mississippi and having a 30 in my school is like 1 in a thousand.Its just really hard down here to have good test scores, but my gpa is a 4.0 unweighted and I try to do the best in all the clubs I'm in
It all depends on the full application. While the score is not the best, if every other part of your application is quite strong, you certainly have a chance. Good luck.
Curious on if I have a chance of getting into gatech? I’m a junior currently, an in-state white female with 3.7 uw and 4.0 w gpa and 5 aps so far (planning on taking 4-5 more my senior year) and 10 honors classes. i think i have decent extracurriculars (xc two years, track one year, tech student association two years (held leadership position for one) and planning on doing it my senior year, nominated for ghp by my cs teacher, and 100+ volunteer hours at my church plus nhs) i’m also aiming for a 1400+ on my sat and planning on getting a few recommendation letters from my cs and engineering teachers. also did band freshman year, not really relevant tho
you absolutely have a chance!
3 years degree accept Georgia tech with good gpa i have 3.7 gpa pls tell me
What are my chances if I didn't join any clubs until junior year? I didn't do much in those clubs either. I didn't try at school until junior year, and now my gpa is around 3.3 to 3.5. Do I have a chance at getting in?
Based on what you've shared, your chances are low, but anything is possible. Good luck!
You're best best is to go to some other college in Georgia. Such as GSU, KSU, or UWG then transfer over to GT. Hope this helps :)
Does being a white male decrease my chances of getting in, this is a serious question.
Let's see what happens at the Supreme Court later this year. Good luck.
Short answer, yes. Long answer, I got in out of state as a white male this year. So rlly it just comes down to outdoing those in your demographic. Best of luck
Hello there, i am an International student and i am gonna apply to Georgia Tech for fall 2024, just wanted to ask, we dont have GPA systems here but i scored a smth like 82% in grade 9, 90% in grade 10 and 87% in grade 11. I took AP Physics 1 last year and got a 4 too. However, i am taking 5 more APs this year and i also have 1380 on the digital sat. I also have good extra curriculars and a very good amount of volunteer work. I wanted to ask u if i should apply Early Decision or Regular Decision because my Grade 12 term 1 results will be coming late December maybe. So should i apply with that or EA? Btw im appearing for Digital SAT again this October.
Can your school send interim grades half way through the first term? Hundreds of students in Georgia Tech's first- year class were either deferred or waitlisted, so you should still seriously consider EA. Good luck.
@CollegeMeister I think yea we will be sending Grade 12 results as soon they are posted
What should I do as a freshman in highschool to higher my chances into getting into Ga-Tech once I graduate
Reading the article linked in the video description under "How to Build a Strong Foundation" is a good first step. For one-on-one guidance visit CollegeMeister.com. Good luck.
Some things I would tell my self 2 years ago, I'm a junior, that nobody pushed me to purse are
-join like 5 clubs that kind of interest you. Just scope these out, and the more lowkey is better. You want to try to get a leadership position. Get close to the sponsor and involved
-Take more APs. But aim for A's. I did 1 freshman year, 3 Sophomore, and 5 this year. I kind of overloaded and 2 sophomore year and 4 this year would have been better. (Difficulty of Ap matters, do stuff that suit your strengths but also be somewhat well rounded) And for course load base it off of how free you are. If you have sports or afterschool commitments then don't do so many
-Study for SAT sophomore year summer. Best time to start since you'll know all the math and you're not too busy.
-Pick up a sport. If you don't already play one try like track or cross country, or lacrosse or chess or something. No one gets cut from those.
Some good things I've done
-take online classes to free schedule for more time intensive classes
-get close with teachers for college recs
-and make lots of friends... it just makes your experience better and people will know you.
@@samorouji2842omg I’m just now finding this buttt I’ve done a lot of this.
Freshman yr I took no AP’s, but this yr I’m taking two APs, AP world history & AP Lit/Comp. I got a 93 gpa so a 4.0
I got 98hrs worth of community service this summer, I was a teen leader at a camp.
I’m apart of my schools swim team & I’m a teen leader at 4H club.
I plan on joining TSA (it’s a tech club at my school), FCCLA, & my school’s ambassadors club. Oh & I also landed a job as a lifeguard this summer.
-
Am I doing good? This Sophmore yr I plan on also trying to start my own club at my school (an graphic design club)
@@nateclipps You're doing great man. I reccomend trying to take a dual enrollment GT class like the computer science (I'm taking both this school year my senior year). Also if you know any professors in your family/network try to get projects from them like research or some tasks. Also try to get an internship if your school has a program like that. One thing i regret junior year is taking too many AP's, physics was too much, and start studying for your SAT in your first semester. No joke get that shit out the way so you don't stress over your score. I was going to bed praying for a 1400 even though I used all of my June of summer break to study for the SAT.
@@samorouji2842 ok! I’m thinking abt adding another ap class? I’m considering AP computer science principles but idk if I should go with that or stick with regular computer science principles. What do you think?
My school doesn’t offer a SAT what should I do then?
You can sign up to take the SAT at a school nearby: satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/test-center-search or try the ACT: satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/test-center-search You need to register on these sites to learn more about international testing options. Good luck.
