[/list][ b]General Comments:** Just found out about Georgia Tech today! Couldn’t believe it! I was hyperventilating this whole week and this morning! I thought I would be rejected since admission became so competitive when they switched to the Common App. I also got selected for Scholarship Day at UNC. Just comes to show that admission processes are truly holistic. Advice to future applicants: show that you are a unique individual with genuine aspirations. Essays are really important! Good luck to everyone!
