I think you will have a good chance of getting into Georgia Tech especially with your extracurriculars! It is always important to show interest too! Good Luck!

P.S. Wow, your school does really well with GATech. 20 or so people applied from my school and only 3 got in. My friend was accepted to Harvard University but was rejected from GATech.

Wow good for your friend though! @Hokuhoku2018

Nice on the multivariable course!

Write an essay you feel satisfied with, research their school well FOR THE MAJOR you are considering, (bc you’ll have to write a small essay on why you want to go there), and you’ll be fine.
