Ga Tech

Anonymous
Anyone have info on what kind of stats is required for Ga Tech? We checked the school scattergram but it's hard to tell because so few kids applied. If anyone can give stats with whether they were admitted/rejected, it would be really helpful. Dc is in NOVA public HS (not TJ).

Our school has few applicants to Ga Tech too.

Have you looked at the Common Data Set?

Our HS 1440 or 32 ACT/4.20 WGPA is average accepted

Naviance will only help you so much, because engineering admissions are separate and held to a higher standard.

I know one student with 4.0 GPA with good EC, good SAT, not admitted.
Apparently requirements for OS student from VA/MD area is extremely high.

Yes, OOS is very tough. Based on perusal of GA education press, I sorta came away with the sense that the school is under a bit of pressure to admit more in state students (which of course is a common refrain). Know some really high quality OOS students who did not get in.
