It’s water down the bridge - but it sounds like you were in need of SAT preps, per example self-study books that come with plenty of sample tests.

My first suggestion would be to add 2 extra safety and 2 likely schools, that you can afford (e.g., because they provide financial aid to cover “full need”). Is Mercer on your radar?

By what criteria did you assess Georgia Tech as a “match” - even for Georgia residents, they can’t accommodate 2/3rds of applicants?

Most of your effort should go into applications to your safety/likely schools to make sure you have options and will get acceptances. I think your reaches are unlikely, but it’s okay to pick one or two that you feel the strongest about, just so that you have covered all options.

Could you elaborate? You were on the college dean’s list in 2019 - and in 2023 you have a letter of recommendation from that(?) community college president. Which would be 5 years?

Also, how many college credits are you transferring with?
