<p>Shameless bump…</p>

<p>GA Tech: Match</p>

<p>Do you have a safety?</p>

4

<p>Yeah, I was thinking UF or USF as a safety. Thanks for your reply though :)</p>

5

<p>Thanks again for your input, but could you please explain WHY it is a low match?</p>

6

<p>Bump… Can someone please explain why G Tech is a low match?</p>

7

<p>UF: Low match
USF: Safety</p>

<p>As to how high of a match GA Tech would be, it’s not high enough for a high match but not high enough for a low match either. If you were a Georgia resident, it would have been a low match. OOS does play against you somewhat.</p>

<p>I must say that it depends on your essay. Some people that applied EA had high stats but they were deferred.</p>

9

<p>Thanks for all of your inputs and explanations! Could you also recommend some good competitive colleges for me?</p>

10

<p>Hey, it would be really helpful if you give us your intended major (Sorry, if I missed it)</p>

<p>For eg, if you are going for Industrial Engineering then it would be a Low Reach-ish</p>

<p>But if for some other course (Not Engineering) then probably it would be a Low Match-Match since they aren’t so competitive. </p>

<p>Could you please chance me back?</p>

<p>Wouldn’t it be easier to just go to the website and get correct information? [Freshman</a> Application | Admission](<a href=“Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission”>Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission)
Your major or what state you are from are NOT factors.</p>

<p>I thought majors matter. I mean they do in many universities.
If you apply for engineering they give you the option to join another major at times.</p>

<p>@Moreover: Thank you for your reply, I have already seen the GPA/SAT/ACT stats for G Tech, but I thought that they also accept students on a holistic basis? So, I am wondering if my ECs and Awards would give me a leg up? Btw, I know it doesn’t matter, but my intended major is Biomedical Engineering.</p>

<p>Thanks again for your replies!</p>
