Im just a little worried about my chances of getting in. I heard they require a 4.0 GPA and require a year of actual art, like pottery or painting. I have neither. It was only this year that I realized I wanted to be an engineer and the Cal Tech was a perfect fit as the majority of my family lives close by.
I am a junior in high school right now. I have a 3.7 unweighted GPA and a 4.35 weighted GPA. Im in various clubs such as DECA, ACE, WAC, and HEART. I am also in the IB program and volunteer extensively to go along with some AP classes on the side. I am Asian by the way. I scored at 750 on the Math PSAT and low 600s on the Reading/Writing.
By the way, does having your grades go up during the course of high school make you have a higher chance or is it negligable?
I had many B's in freshman year, but I have been painfully pulling straight A's for the last 2 semesters. This is reverse when I asked my friends about theirs. All of theirs went down.
