<p>Thx tlsgur1. Congrats. Do you have any hooks? Athlete legacy etc?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, no hooks. I guess i just got lucky.</p>
<p>I got a likely letter! I’m from metro Atlanta, Georgia and I’m SO shocked!! I wasn’t expecting to get in, let alone get a likely letter. </p>
<p>Quick Stats:
ACT: 31 Comp
GPA: 3.87 of 4.0
AP’s: 11 taken
Class Rank: 31 of 584 (something like that)
Hooks: 1st gen and URM</p>
<p>I put a great deal of effort into all my essays and I think that was the strong point of my application. I definitely don’t think my URM status is what put me over the top because plenty of my best friends are URMs who are smarter (4.0 GPA, 34+ ACT Composite, Top 5 of class) and have their own hooks, but I’m the only one who got a likely. </p>
<p>When I got the letter, it was literally one of the best days of my life. I’m unbelievably excited. It seems surreal. I’m still waiting to wake up from this dream!</p>
<p>2 from ga!! wow. @funsized congrats to you as well! did you get it yesterday?</p>
<p>@tsglr would you mind telling me your stats?</p>
<p>im on a mobile device but here:</p>
<p>SAT :2340
SAT2 : 2330 took 3
rank: top 3%
9APs mostly 5s</p>
<p>3 years highest ranked trumpet player in the state ( i sent in a music supplement)</p>
<p>President of Latin Club and VP of student government. Volunteer stuff, etc</p>
<p>I feel like it was mostly my trumpet stuff that pushed me over the edge more than anything. Im actually an ORM so no help there.</p>
<p>@tlsgur i’m pretty sure your spectacular SAT scores had a role to play as well :p. congrats again.</p>
<p>haha i dont think sat scores
matter too much! even perfect scores dont mean too much these days with such competitive applicant pool</p>
<p>Yes it came on the 2nd</p>
<p>When were your letters dated?</p>
<p>I’m also from Georgia! However, I’m from the Augusta area.</p>
<p>Congratulations, everyone!</p>
<p>alexiss did you apply here too?!?! so many ga applicants</p>
<p>Yup.
I won’t be getting any likelies, though. Probs not even acceptances bc weak app, lol. It does kinda sting seeing others waltzing into your dream schools…

<p>@alexisss how many did you apply to</p>
<p>Got mine yesterday dated Feb 26. Oh joyous day…</p>

<p>any internationals who got the likely letter?</p>
<p>Are they doing then by waves then if one was dated feb 8 and the other feb 26?</p>
