Georgia Tech does a holistic review. it looks at all aspects of the students’ application. This includes the academic vigor, the cocurricular activities, personal statements, letters of recommendation as well as our standardized testing scores. It will be looked at with negative hindsight in some way, but however if you can provide an explanation through additional comments, or through letters of recommendation from your counsellor it would be certainly great and very helpful to your cause. Having a high GPA can make up for this as Georgia Tech emphasizes on academics being a very important part of the decision.
