<p>okay, so GA Tech doesn’t exactly have the best business school: just so you know. You’d be better of going to UNC UVA UT UMich or UC-Berkeley if you are looking at good publics, but you’ll definitely get into to GA Tech if you want to go, along with all of the other schools I’ve mentioned.</p>

<p>You have absolutely no ECs that are good or outstanding. And right now your SAT is subpar. If you can manage to get a 33+ or 2200+ on the ACT or SAT you will be in much better shape.</p>

<p>Consider applying to somewhere like Duke, Johns Hopkins, or the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Undergraduate Business School Early Decision.</p>

<p>Specifically the last one would be a good choice b/c the % admission in 2011 was 26% according to the New York Times, so you have a good shot, especially being a URM. Good luck!</p>

<p>I’ll assume that your SAT will be around your PSAT score when you retake it and based on that, I think you are absolutely in at GT. I agree the the above post that you should definitely consider some other schools, especially because you’re interested in business. Being a URM, it helps you a lot in getting into any school in the country. I would say you have a decent shot at any school because of your high GPA.</p>
