Hi all,
I’m an in-state senior that just sent in her application for Georgia Tech last week. Was hoping to get a second look at my stats; I know on paper my GPA is a little questionable, but I’m wondering if I still even have a chance.
For reference, though I know it may not mean much for a public school, I’m a Hispanic female GA resident applying to their public policy major.
