<p>Hello, I live in Atlanta and have seen many people apply for the exact schools you are, so I’ll help you out!</p>

<p>I’ll start by saying that you will get into Georgia State. I have never known anyone who got rejected from Georgia State. But it’s a great school, so don’t feel bad if you have to go there.</p>

<p>Emory and Tech are a little trickier. In my experience, Tech is harder to get into- a guy I knew got waitlisted at Tech and accepted into Emory, and I’ve seen Tech get regarded as higher status. I know both schools take in a lot of foreign students. Your GPA is good enough for both, and your SAT II scores are pretty good, but if at all possible I would recommend retaking the normal SAT, or even better, the ACT (I’ve seen most people score higher). I think Emory likes more well rounded scores, while Techs main focus is the math.</p>

<p>What is your major going to be, by the way?</p>

<p>My advice: retake the SAT/ACT…</p>

<p>Emory: Aim for 31+/2100+
GA Tech: Aim for 31+/2100+
GA State: Safety</p>
