It's funny how things work out

Applying to College
1

<p>Well, i just wanted to get some others’ opinions on this funny situation.
I had the University of Florida as my #1 choice for college for Aerospace Engineering. However, I was not accepted. I was then down and did not expect to receive any good news. However, one month later, I was accepted to Georgia Tech, which is better known for Aerospace Engineering. I’m just wondering how these things happen. The only explanations I can think of are either that I am a Georgia resident or something beyond this world. Also, UGA accepted me, but that was not much of a choice for me, as they don’t offer AE.</p>

<pre><code>My stats were a 27 ACT (27 math, 28 english),
88.85 gpa,
All honors / AP classes,
Top 25% of class.
EC’s included Cross Country, Track, and Beta Club.
Essay was unique and well written.

<p>Congratulations on your acceptance, I can only think that Georgia Tech had a more favorable impression towards you.</p>

<p>Never, ever, ever, underestimate the difference between being an in-state and an out-of-state candidate when you apply to public universities.</p>

<p>Wishing you much success at Georgia Tech! Wow!!! That is a great university!</p>
