Perfect GPA...

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.

This is op, thank you for this link and for all those who responded. Yes, dc is a boy wanting to go into engineering. Alas, not sure it will happen at ga tech.

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

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

Our school has a fair number of data point from Naviance. Average is 3.78 UW/4.44 W and 1461 SAT.

Our school has few applicants to Ga Tech too.

Have you looked at the Common Data Set?
https://www.irp.gatech.edu/common-data-set

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).
