Yep, don't worry! You can still have a comeptitive application if you only have a few extracurriculars; the important thing is to supplement that with another strong area like test scores or essays.
@@SaffronIce okay thank you I’ve been playing soccer my whole high school career and I’m in the orchestra..( I’ve maintained a 4.1gpa) I’m only a junior though..do you think that’s enough? Or should I join a club?
I want to go to Georgia Tech but my grades aren’t that great compared to my classmates. In both my freshman and junior year I struggled with depression and deaths in my family and it really sapped my motivation to do schoolwork. I’m going to take the SAT and ACT multiple times to get the best scores I can but I’m worried that my GPA will get me rejected. I also am going to take a gap year and live with family in Georgia to establish residency. Do you think I have any chance of getting in?
Hey! So if you establish residency in Georgia there will be an elevated chance of you getting in, but I would still recommend showing big grade growth between 9th and 10th grade and 11th and 12th grade. If you can do that and focus on taking STEM courses and display some sort of passion through your essays, I think you still have a chance to get in. I'm not sure what GT's policy will be on standardized testing, but if they still are considering those then getting a high score on them would definitely be necessary, especially in the maths and sciences sections. Hope this helped, and good luck!
So my highschool is like crazy competitive. Like some people take like 20-22 AP classes. I have a respectable 14 which is usually considered very competitive in most highschools and should get you like top 5% but compared to my classmates I'm like in the top 10%. I know that tech looks at you based on people from your highschool so I'm kinda nervous since a lot of my peers have much higher GPAs than me. What do you think?
I myself also came from a high school that had a lot of top performers, and I personally was not in the top % of my school body. So yes, it's definitely possible to get in without being a top % student. You should definitely focus on strengthening things such as standardized testing scores, extracurriculars, and write a strong essay to display strengths outside of the academic point of view. Georgia Tech is looking for people who are academically talented, yes, but that's the floor in my opinion. What else apart from a strong academic background can you offer to the university? That's the value proposition, and that's how you can convince admissions officers to accept your application out of thousands of others.
I have a 3.9 unweighted and a 4.25 weighted GPA. I only took six AP classes if I include the AP’s of senior year. I got a relatively low SAT score due to test center closures so I decided not to submit that. I ranked in the top five percent of my graduating class out of ~600. But I have heard the biology major I want to major is rather very competitive. Do you think I have a possibility of getting accepted? I’m still stuck on how to answer the two short questions, and I’m beginning to doubt my possibility bc I know schools around Atlanta have remarkable students compared to my scores.
I definitely think you have a chance! Of course, I can't say for sure whether or not you can get in, but if you write your essays well and convey to the admissions officers reading your paper that you would be a student who can make contributions to the university then you'd be a relatively strong candidate! I'd advise reading up more on Georgia Tech and honing in on specific reasons why you want to attend. Good luck!
Im a US citizen but I've been living in Mexico all my life, I want to move to Atlanta, take a gap year to get Georgia Residence, study first two years in a Community College and then transfer to GT, Do you think I would get accepted? Or what would you recommended me to do? Great Video btw.
First, thanks for watching! Hope you found it useful. Second, it's really hard to predict GT admissions, but if you can prove in community college that you're a stellar student and have a strong academic record, your chances of being accepted will certainly be much higher. If you live in GA for more than half a year, I think you would qualify as a GA resident, which would also increase your chances of getting in. Hope this helps, good luck!
Wow, I admire your dedication towards college prep if you’re still in middle school! I definitely suggest looking into an extracurricular or two you might be interested in at your high school and participate a lot, develop leadership skills and make friends. Of course, don’t be lax on academics but don’t make it the center of your entire life either. High school is a great time to experiment with and discover new hobbies, passions and a possible major to pursue in college. For now though I wouldn’t stress too much, enjoy your middle school years while you can;)
3.65 unweighted Gpa 3.9 weighted gpa. 1430 Sat score 790 math 640 Reading and Wrting. took Ap human geo, Ap Chem , Ap Psychology , Ap cal Ab and planning to take Ap computer science. Vice president of Volunteer club. I want to apply for CS but I don't know if I can get in.
With GPA and SAT scores like that I think you'll be fine in terms of numbers, and 5-6 APs is a pretty good number of classes. I'd say if you nail the essays and express your involvement with the Volunteer club well, you would have a pretty decent chance among other applicants. Also, I didn't mention this in the video but what some of my friends have done is apply to Georgia Tech through a different major and changed majors after being accepted, so you could consider that as well. Good luck with applications!

hi i'm a sophomore in high school but last year because of covid and other personal health issues i wasnt able to join any clubs or anything yet in high school. i know its kind of late but do you have any tips for someone whos halfway through 10th grade for extracurriculars?
Ah.. yes covid must have made things difficult. Try to keep your academics up for sure. If you did any passion projects or hobbies during the pandemic I’d double down on that skill and highlight it in your app when you apply, and indicate the reason you weren’t able to actively participate in a club. Take care to excel on your essays as well. Good luck when you apply!
I am taking a lot of AP courses with a relatively good gpa, but because of online school i was not able to participate in extracurricular, so junior year is the only year I can be involved in clubs. Is that enough if I take leadership opportunities outside of school clubs?
Yes, in regards to leadership qualities I don't think GT is looking for school extracurriculars in particular, but it does help (some). If you can demonstrate you have adequate or even excellent leadership qualities/traits then you should be fine!
If you are applying for the class of 2025 (meaning you start in 2021), you won't have to submit (or take) the SAT or ACT for admission to Tech. At the moment, nothing concrete has been decided for anything past 2021. Hope this helps!
@@SaffronIce I wish I would say I would apply for the class of 2025 for Georgia tech but sadly I realized I have to take required classes in order to take the classes I want.. and itd be tons of money having to go two years at Georgia tech just for required classes and not the classes I need for computer science. So I’m planning on going to a community college near me and take two years and transfer to Georgia tech afterwards and hopefully become a software engineer for RUclips taking those remaining years. It’s all about patience..
Were you an in-state or out-of-state student? I also heard that now you cannot change your major at Tech anymore unless you have finished one year of study. Is this true? Thanks so much Horace!
I was an in-state student; I think I forgot to mention this in the video but I do believe in-state students have a slight advantage over out-of-state students due to Georgia Tech being a public university. As for the change of major policy, it's true that you can't change your major right after getting in, but in your first year you'll probably be fulfilling general education requirements so if you take 1 or 2 classes in the major you want to switch into sophomore year, you probably won't be behind your classmates in terms of class completion. I have a lot of friends who switched into CS their second year and are doing fine. Hope this helped!
You can also switch majors in the summer after you are accepted and but before you come to FASET (orientation) they make you submit a major confirmation form when you commit and you can mess with that there
I need some advice. So I took a few extra on-level courses over the summer because I realized that I chose the wrong career pathway freshman year. This brought my weighted gpa down since they were on-level. So compared to an applicant from my school who took the same number of AP classes, I have a lower weighted gpa because of those extra courses. Do you think this will impact my chances in any way? Also, the way my school does weighted GPA is AP is on a scale of 5 but honors and on-level are both on a 4.0 scale so compared to applicants who have like 4.7s and 4.8s I have like a 4.3. How does Gtech look at this. Do they recalculate GPA or something. Thanks!
As far as I know, Georgia Tech recalculates the weighted GPAs and looks at those unweighted grades to make sure all students' performances are evaluated equally. Academic rigor is also a factor that is looked at, but a few on level classes here and there shouldn't affect the overall evaluation too much. Hope this helped!
What’s a good major to apply as that is easier? I assume anything in college of liberal arts or college of sciences is would be easier and I actually am interested in some of those majors but most of my ECs and electives are related to computer science
Hi! So I'm not exactly sure myself which majors are 'easier' per say since I never really looked into the numbers of applicants who applied to each major, but I'd say if most of your ECs are cs related and you want to do CS as your major and the rest of your stats are pretty solid, then just go for it and apply as CS. Even though it's one of the most popular majors at Tech, if you've done some CS stuff and your STEM related test scores and grades are high then you'd have a fighting chance even with all the competition. We have a relatively unique major called CM (computational media) which shares some threads with CS, but also isn't fully CS so if you're interested in that I'd recommend looking more into the CM major. I'd say majors like biology or architecture might have fewer competitors, but in the end it's my belief that you should apply to the major you want to stick to for the foreseeable future. Of course, if you take other classes and then decide to change majors that's always an option.
I’m currently a Sophomore in high school and I’m wondering if I’m on track to get into Georgia Tech. I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA at the moment and I have taken 4 APs so far (1 in Freshmen year and 3 right now). I’m involved in FBLA, Beta Club, Student Council (Sophomore VP), and I just created my own club that creates advertisements for other school organizations. However, I don’t have many awards and I have not been involved in many school competitions. I haven’t taken the SAT yet but I’ve been getting decent scores on practice tests and I’m planning to take the SAT in my Junior year (I will study over the summer). I live in Georgia and I have a lot of volunteer hours logged in already. Is there anything else that I should be doing or preparing for? A lot of my mom’s friends have kids who have been accepted into great schools and it just feels like they’ve done a lot more than me.
GA Tech is a heavy engineering and science school so try to take more classes that follow that path (assuming you want to be an engineer/science major) and join clubs such as Science Olympiad, Mu Alpha Theta, Robotics, Programming, etc. Just keep on track with what you're doing now but make sure to dig into that more technical side of school, like STEM classes.
Sorry for the late reply! As Henry mentioned earlier, Georgia Tech is heavy on the sciences and maths, so showing involvement in those fields (classes, competitions, standardized tests) would really add appeal to your application. Make sure to show the contributions you make to the organizations you participate in, and emphasize lessons learned or experience gained from leadership positions. Your GPA is great, and if you do well on SAT or ACT, I see no issues with your application being very competitive. Living in Georgia is also a plus! Hope this helps:)
Does applying as a communications major hurt or increase your chances because Georgia tech is mostly like a stem school 😂 but I know they have a liberal arts program
I don't think applying as a specific major would really hurt or increase your chances in a big way (unless maybe applying for Computer Science); however I would say if you have good scores on the math and/or science sections of standardized tests or AP tests or advanced/college classes that would definitely help your application appeal to admission officers more!
You're right, relatively speaking, it is rather high, and I don't mean that having a GPA of at least 3.7 is a necessary requirement, but that it contributes a part to the numerical evaluation of the application. Georgia Tech doesn't have an honors program, just regular admission.
@@grayscar05 you have to apply to it as an LLC and coming from the freshman class, I dont think many people really apply to it. it has a lot of essays required.
@@SaffronIce Thanks for that fact you reply to every comment! Do you know which majors in GT is less competitive and easier( relatively) to get in? My son likes Biomedical Engineering and Civil Engineering, but his gpa (on his transcript, his weighted grade 96, unweighted 89.6, not sure the exact 4 scale gpa)and the whole package is not on the top, maybe applying business or other majors first will help get in? Appreciate your insight
Thanks, I definitely do my best to respond to each comment thoughtfully:) As for easier majors to get in to Tech, I’m not quite sure myself what standards Tech holds for each major, but competition amongst students for certain majors is certainly a factor. If your son isn’t confident enough to apply for any engineering fields, I’d suggest him find another major that he might have interest in, whether that be business, biology, chem, or anything else. Tech (or any college in particular) wants to see your son’s interest in not only the school, but his intended major as well. The more that interest comes across in his application, the more his chances of being admitted will increase. Hope this helps!
@@SaffronIce Thank you for your info. I heard students can switch major later. GT is the water only one good engineering university in GA, and in- state tuition is a big factor too
@@XG9769 Students can indeed switch majors later, but it's much more difficult than it used to be. GT is indeed probably the highest ranked engineering school in GA, and if you're in state and your son goes to a public school, then the scholarship (Zell/Hope) will help a lot with reducing tuition costs.
Proximity to campus doesn't make it easier or harder to get in, but since you live in Georgia statistically speaking you will likely have a better chance vs applicants out of state or overseas.

Proximity to campus doesn't make it easier or harder to get in, but since you live in Georgia statistically speaking you will likely have a better chance vs applicants out of state or overseas.

Did you take SAT subject tests? Thanks for the video, it was really helpful.
Yep! I forgot to mention that; I took the SAT Math (800) and SAT US History (740) tests. Glad you found it helpful!!
@@SaffronIce also, just wanted to ask that are SAT subject test reqd for Georgia Tech?
Sat subject tests are optional for Georgia tech
will one c effect my chance of getting in
I doubt it, but you would have to demonstrate that your average academic performance is better than a C for sure
@@SaffronIce okay thank you
