<p>Georgia Tech - high reach
UGA - reach
GSU - ? I want to say high match, but I’m not as familiar with admissions there.</p>
<p>What is so different about the Georgia State one? And is high reach a good thing kind of confused?</p>
<p>High = less likely. Low = more likely.</p>
<p>GSU is less selective than UGA is less selective than Tech. Most of the kids I know are heading for UGA or GT, so I don’t know all that much about admissions at State.</p>
<p>It works like this (working from most likely admitted to least likely admitted):</p>
<p>Safety/In (I’d be shocked if you don’t get in)
Low Match (you’ll get in)
Match (you should get in)
High Match (50/50 but probably in)
Low Reach (50/50 but probably not in)
Reach (you probably won’t get in)
High Reach (you’re not getting in)
No Chance (don’t bother applying)</p>
<p>With that said, just using ACT/GPA (that’s all you gave)</p>
<p>GT - High Reach
UGA - High Match
GSU - Low Match</p>
<p>GIT -Huge Reach
UGA-Match
GSU-Match</p>
<p>Dang Georgia Tech is like IVY league to get in with the stats to get in. What would have helped me get in?</p>
<p>3.7+ UWGPA and 30 ACT.</p>
<p>As it is you’re low on GPA and very low on ACT.</p>
<p>Edit: Actually, let me take back my comment about High Match for UGA. I originally read your ACT as a 27 composite.</p>
<p>With a 25 composite, you have a 2938 FI, which is low for UGA. So I’m moving UGA to low reach, and GSU to match. Tech is still a high reach.</p>
<p>If I had a 30 ACT would I have gotten in? I thought they only looked at English and Math and those are good.</p>
<p>Your ACT math converts to below average for Tech, and your ACT Reading converts to way below the bottom quartile (over 100 points below). Competitive for Tech is a 30 in Math (about 700 SAT) and a 30 Reading (about 650 SAT).</p>
<p>Regardless, Tech actually considers all scores now, as well as all three sections of the SAT. Historically it was just 2 sections of the SAT.</p>
<p>Dang. I guess I will be going to GSU. Why is Tech so hard to get into? If you can get into Tech you can get into a IVY League school.</p>
<p>Tech is one of the top 5 engineering schools in the country.</p>
<p>And you would need more than a 30 ACT to be competitive for the Ivy League.</p>
<p>You get my point, and you need to be really smart to get into Georgia Tech. What are the other top 4 enginnering schools? Is Mercer one?</p>
<p>Are you kidding? Mercer isn’t even in the Top 100.</p>
<p>The top 5 are MIT, GT, Stanford, UC-Berkeley, UIUC. Some people add Cal Tech and drop UIUC based on undergrad vs. grad programs.</p>
<p>what are my chances of getting in to GSU?
i have 3.2 GPA and 24 on ACT
HELP! i just want to know your thoughts</p>
