<p>Hey so I got accepted into Georgia Tech with a 27 ACT after four attempts (I only sent one as they don't require you send all of your scores). I got a 28 in math and a 27 in English (the two tech look at). Nevertheless I am concerned that I may not be smart enough to do well. I have decent grades and really good extra ciriculars but am obviously not that good at standardized test taking. I am concerned that I may fail out since the average accepted scores are 29-33 and I may be stupider than everyone. Do you think I should go to GT? I am a a hard worker and like a challenge but I just don't know if I am smart enough.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Are you willing to seek help during office hours, from classmates, etc? Do you like math and science – general STEM fields?</p>
<p>ETA: Plenty of smart, capable people perform better than their standardized tests scores would indicate. Presumably, GT sees qualities in you which leads them to believe you will be a successful student. They accept students who they expect to do well at their school. Also, most schools have support systems for students if they need it, but students have to be ready to ask for help.</p>
<p>Yeah I like math and science. I think I am good at it too. </p>
<p>Just lay off the 420. If you are willing to work hard and like what you are doing I also think you will be okay.</p>
