<p>I live in Georgia so I’m pretty much guaranteed GATECH and UGA. Now, I need matches. Any ideas? Preferably on the East Coast.</p>

<p>Intended major?</p>

<p>How much do you like GT and UGA? If you like one or both of them a lot, and they really are safeties for both admissions and cost, then you may not need to apply to that many other schools. GT is one of the top schools in engineering.</p>

<p>Preferably, I don’t want to major in anything engineering. But if I have no choice, then I would do BME at GT. My intended DOUBLE major would be Neurobiology(offered at Georgetown) or anything neuroscience AND History</p>

<p>Without ACT / SAT scores it is impossible to gauge chances for you.</p>
