I do not know what the specific acceptance rate for CS is, though, or if it is different than that rate. If not, it's a low reach-high match.
GT's middle SAT scores are 1390-1500, so the OP is in the top 25%.
It is 1400-1520, so The OP isn't in the top 25%, but they are well above the median. Their math score is at the top of the mid 50% (710-790), which, for GTech, is important.
I expect, though, that the mid 50% for in-state students is somewhat lower. As an in-state student, in the top 10% of the class, with well above median stats, and a reasonably good engineering background, I stand behind my low reach-high match, unless acceptance rates to CS are substantially lower, in which case it may be a reach.
@sardines428 On what are you basing your claim?
