Can a student get into GT with low test score but good GPA and good essays?

I’d say a 3.75+ unweighted (with a very rigorous courseload) and a 2200+/33+ would put you in a good position. Based on last year’s decisions thread, it seems like the admissions care a lot about both GPA/Course Rigor/Test Scores. I actually have not seen many people get in with low test scores, but if you can explain your situation, I think you should be fine.
