Your stats seem fine, but be aware GT does not have an actual business degree (BBA). They do have MBA, but for undergraduates it is a BS in Management. You focus on whatever you like I believe (finance, marketing, etc). The management college is in a newer part of campus on 5th st. They have some really nice facilities.

I don’t see any reason why you would not get accepted. Your stats seem fine, GPA, SAT’s look great. You’d honestly probably have very competitive application at Cornell, Chicago, etc.

GT’s Management program is moving up and getting a lot of money but do be prepared for people to be constantly asking “Why did you come to Tech for that?”. You will be in classes with A LOT of people who couldn’t make the cut in the College of Engineering.

Its not a bad program by any means. The MBA program is ranked higher than U(sic)GA. Just remember, at GT engineering is king and anything non-science/engineering will be considered “easy”.

I’d say you’d walk in to the program but I’d come visit the campus, talk to some undergrad management majors (find one who actually came here for managment, not one who switched from COE).

Send off some apps to a few Ivies as well. I think you’ve got a decent shot.
