@khushgarg Did you look up how many international students are accepted each year at GaTech?
That may help you gauge your chances. You have great job experiences and a strong composite ACT score.
I think your TOEFL is high enough but check. What is your math ACT score? Thats very important to getting accepted. Math score needs to be 33-36 for best chances, for an international student from India.

Have other schools and safties. GT is also going to want the kid that could figure out how to solve the problem not just have an idea regardless of knowledge. Come up with a hypothesis at least. No one checking to see if your correct. Also the GT blog is one of the best out there for admissions. Read through it. He has alot if humor but pretty honest assessment for admission chances.
