Thanks!!
Obviously you are an extremely strong candidate and should have a good chance at admissions, but there are no guarantees. There are always a few cases of very high stat applicants that don’t get accepted. GoBears2023 comes to mind last year as he was rejected by GT but accepted to Stanford and MIT among others. The only negative (if you can call it that) I can see on your ECs would be that they are mostly academic. Did you have any sports, music, theater, or community service? I see the you are taking MV Calc this year but don’t have AP Calc AB or BC listed. Did you take a college level DE Calc?
You bring some amazing things to the table. It also helps that you are NOT applying for engineering or computer science, which are the highest reaches at Georgia Tech. A couple of things might be lacking: have you had any involvement in sports or music/theatre? That would round you out if a holistic approach is applied, which I believe is the case with Georgia Tech admissions. Also, have you had any paid employment of significant volunteer work (beyond what you do with the other students in the entrepreneur club)? What have you done during the summers? That said, I can only second the opinion that there are no guarantees at a place like GT for even the highest level applicants. I also know of some kids with perfect standardized test scores and other accomplishments who did not get in to Georgia Tech. The ones I know of were applying for admission to engineering and CS, though. As I said, applying for biochem helps you. You should certainly apply, but send applications to many other places too. This is a very selective school and becoming increasingly so every year.
