Hey thanks for the response.
I only went with DE for a single semester and saw it as a fluke due to how it compared to my normal 4.0, so I wasn’t really counting it. After graduating high school, I went roughly half-time so it was 2019-2023, 4 years and 66 credit hours.
I also worked multiple jobs and cared for my family during so I just didn’t have the working capacity for much more than that. One of my jobs was student worker at the college directly under the dean, so the president and I got to see each other fairly often and are on pretty good terms.
I’ve already been accepted to Georgia State for the upcoming Fall 2023 semester and know I’m fully covered thanks to scholarships and grants. I just really feel like I’m getting to a point where I can do much better for myself than I have previously so I wanted to see if I transfer somewhere else more prestigious for spring or fall 2024.
As for GA Tech, I read that the business school was more relaxed with a 3.4 average gpa and 38% acceptance rate for GA residents. Given my high school track record, work experience, letter of recommendation, and life circumstances I figured I’d have a 50/50 shot.
Did having to take my time with my degree really hurt my chances that badly? I thought everything else I had going on would make up for it.
