Will I get into Georgia Tech?


Asked by
I'm a junior this year and I'm currently taking AP Chemistry, AP Calc AB, AP U.S. History, and AP Lang./Comp.; however, I am not performing successfully in APUSH and now possibly including math. Last year, I took AP World History (passed the AP exam w/ a 4) and all honors classes. I'm failing APUSH right now. I have an 89 in math right now but I REALLY BOMBED a test recently and I'm pretty sure I'm failing now. I'm scared my chances are limited now in getting into GT. Yet, I am involved in Math team, Science Olympiad, French Club, Science National Honor Society, Beta Club, and Medical Bowl. Nationally, I got nominated for Leadership of America and People to People Ambassador Program. I am a member of National Society for High School Students. Despite all these, I am declining in my SAT scores each year and now my failing grade will drop my GPA by MANY POINTS. So, judging by this, will I have a chance to get into GT? My dad went there and I really want to go there. Thanks.

one class isn't going to make or break you. not graduating because you failed a required math class will be aproblem, though. It's only October. Get a tutor and do what you have to do to pass the class. You have a lot of activities, make sure you're not doing all this stuff at the risk of failing classes. Academics have to come first. Yes schools want well rounded students, but again, you have to pass your classes to graduate first.
