<p>I'm hoping to go to Gatech for aerospace engineering. It's basically the only school I want to go to because its in state, thus, much cheaper. Any comments are appreciated.</p>

<p>very very hard to get in GAtech with those scores, it's a reach. You can always go to a state school and transfer. Ur GPA and scores are too low for GAtech Engineering.</p>

3

<p>I wouldn't call it "very very hard". I don't think your chances are too bad. GT tends to be significantly more lenient to in-state students.</p>

4

<p>ive heard that theyre lenient about instate students from several people..i even have friends who go there. are my scores/gpa THAT bad to get rejected even though im in state or do i still have a pretty good chance?</p>

5

<p>I think your stats look good. But it's been 6 yrs since I looked at undergrad admission, so I might be out of date.</p>

6

<p>cool...anyone else?</p>

7

<p>You can get in with those scores. I'd try to get them over 600 in every field, though. Math score is in the middle 50%. Still, 700+ looks nice to the AdComs. I have friends here who got it with lower than that, so don't worry--you can still make it in here.</p>

8

<p>what about an out of state 3.5 GPA (10 AP's), 2150 SAT (770M, 690V, 690W)? </p>

<p>71/960 rank, decent ECs, good essay</p>

9

<p>Tickitata, with 770M, 690V and in 10% Rank, You are in 100%.</p>

10

<p>you couldve made your own thread.
