<p>Georgia Tech has not changed their GPA system for applicants since when I applied (or when CFB applied, either for that matter). If you indeed reported weighted grades that lead to a 4.4 GT GPA on your GT application, I would recommend that you contact admissions with your corrected unweighted grades as soon as possible. A discrepancy (especially a large one – like the potential one in your case, which, if it exists, is likely upwards of .3 points) could result in your admission offer being revoked. It would be better to admit the mistake now than to have admissions find it when they check your final transcript in May or June.</p>
<p>I don’t think Georgia Tech would not notice that I have BOTH my GPA and ALL MY INDIVIDUAL GRADES listed on my application. </p>
<p>Besides, here is what it said on the application, verbatim (By the way, I just double-checked my app, and I remembered that my GPA was actually a 4.5 at the time that I submitted my application; my GPA dropped slightly after my first semster grades):</p>
<p>**“Please list your GPA as provided by your school directly from your transcript (100, 4.0 or other scale is acceptable).” **</p>
<p>Notice how it says “as provided by your school” and not “based on Georgia Tech’s GPA system” and how it says “directly from your transcript”. Nowhere on the application did it mention anything about Georgia Tech’s GPA system.</p>
<p>The question after that asks, verbatim, “Is this a weighted GPA?”</p>
<p>Again, notice how it did not say anything about Georgia Tech’s special GPA system.</p>
<p>Plus, I double checked Georgia Tech’s website, and here is a quote from the site, verbatim:</p>
<p>“While students are asked to self-report their high school GPA directly from their transcript, we will recalculate a GPA for all applicants to use in our review process.”</p>
<p>No matter how much you bold stuff, it still stands that you cannot have a weighted GPA of 4.4 (as calculated by GT), as you stated earlier in this thread (when you were talking about why you were admitted).</p>
<p>I am glad that GT calculated your GPA correctly for admission purposes. It would be terrible to have your admission revoked this late in the process. Have fun at Tech, cheers.</p>
<p>Yeah, and that’s why they said that they will “recalculate a GPA for all applicants to use in our review process”. The review process is over, I got in, so that shouldn’t be a worry.</p>
<p>(Sorry if the way I’m writing my posts makes me sound like some sort of arrogant person…)</p>
<p>Yeah if OP didn’t get in, I don’t know who is…
there must be something up, unless GT straight up DOESN’T take EC’s into account, in which case his GT-average SAT scores just weren’t high enough.</p>
<p>They do consider EC’s. If you use Google and search through official statements by the Director of Admissions to the different committees at GT (some of which publish their meeting minutes publicly), you get a picture of exactly how GT performs admissions.</p>
<p>Non-numeric factors, like EC and essays, are sent to external reviewers (apparently high school counselors) who score your EC’s and essay on a scale (like from 1 to 10, but it’s unclear what the scale actually is). Your essay score, EC score, GT adjusted GPA, and SAT scores are then fed into a linear equation (with weights for each component) that generates a single admission score (there are apparently other factors included in that score, such as gender, international status, and high school difficulty, but I’m not sure exactly how they factor in). GT determines the number of students to admit based on historical matriculation rates and the desired class size, then admits that many students starting with the highest admission score.</p>
<p>They also indicate that GPA is has the most weight in the equation, followed by Math SAT.</p>
<p>lol I got 510 on reading and I’m on the wait list. I guess they favor in state student a little more for the wait list ;p. Its a public state school afterall</p>
