<p>Hi

<p>Have no exp w/Georgia but the GPA is extremely low for UMich – especially out of state. IN STATE with a UW 3.26 and chance would still be almost non existant.</p>

<p>GaTech considers GPA to be more important than standardized tests and only about 14% of their entering class has a GPA <= 3.26. I would assume that those are disproportionately recruited athletes, so the chances there do not look too good either. <a href=“http://www.irp.gatech.edu/sites/www.irp.gatech.edu/files/Final%20CDS2009_2010%20%20effective%2006-17-2010_0.pdf[/url]”>http://www.irp.gatech.edu/sites/www.irp.gatech.edu/files/Final%20CDS2009_2010%20%20effective%2006-17-2010_0.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Your son seems to be a talented pianist. He should submit an “arts supplement”–i.e. a CD of his playing. Many schools give a bit of extra credit to applicants with artistic talent.</p>
