“If you have taken some higher level math andNov 15 2009Mechanical Engineering
If you have taken some higher level math and science, have gotten mostly A's and above a 1200 on the SAT (i don't know what that translates to nowadays), I think you'll get in. The application is really simple. Caution: entrance requirements are lower than exit requirements ('exit with a degree requirements' that is).
SAT: 1430 Male

“I got into Tech the year before they requiredSep 23 2009Engineering Department
I got into Tech the year before they required essays. I think it was a 2 page application and a small fee. Tech didn't have much to go on when I got in (GPA, SAT, and whatever extracurriculars I listed). I'm pretty sure I got in by numbers 3.9-something high school GPA, 1410 SAT (when it was out of 1600), and I took a decent number of AP-level courses. If you show good grades in high school and that you challenged yourself with the coursework, you've given Tech a reason to believe that you'll put in the work that you need to in order to do well in the coursework at Tech.
SAT: 1410 Male

I hate the boy scouts. Just personal experience. But if you get to Eagle you'll have Tech foaming at the mouth for you. Personally I think it's overrated but Tech will more than likely accept you and maybe even offer a scholarship.
