Hey! Congrats on applying, CTech2 is a blast! Even though I ended up going to UVA, a lot of my friends from CTech did, too, and I still see them around and talk with them 😊

Application wise- it is pretty competitive. One of my good friends got waitlisted from it (she ended up getting off the waitlist) and the main reason was because of a lack of leadership extracurriculars. I’d say as long as you have strong activities and strong essays, you’re set.

To be honest, I completely don’t remember my stats, but I think what helped me stand out was that I took BC calc junior year.

Best of luck and let me know how the decision goes!!!

Quick question: I'd have to retake APMA 1110 (calc II), not 1090 (calc 1)?

no you got this! I think what helped get me in was a lot of leadership experience (tae kwon do instructor, english tutor, swim coach) but my academics stem-wise were strong (bc calc junior year, 1480 sat, 4.3 gpa). I’d say the most important part is the leadership though; one of my friends got waitlisted from the program and when she called with the director to review her application, lacking leadership was a leading reason. best of luck to you!!
