My chances?
and if any alumni or already students at Tech wanna review my essay, plz contact me or post ,
much appreciated
Since you're from Georgia, I'll say you have a 50% chance. Your GPA is good but your test scores are all 25th %-ile for GT (those 2 are the most important for admissions but being in-state counts for something).
Will the essay really help me?
GPA-4.0 UW
Rank-2/237
APs- All offered except one.
ACT- English 28, Math-34
ECs- Pretty good, 2 leadership positions, many minor participation, babysitting my cousin and working for my parents 30h/w.
Essay- Worst part of my application... It wasn't that bad, but it's no way good.
I guess if your essays is great then it can make up a little for your test scores.
I have no idea how I got in though. I thought the essay would've killed me(began my application few days before it was due)
Yeah since you're accepted, you wanna see if my essay (at least the first paragraph ) is ok?
anyway I got accepted into tech. 33 English 34 Math (32 composite), very similar rank. I would say you have average chance. Your essay might be the tipping factor. I will look at it if you want me to.
