<p>Your gpa is solid but as of now Gatech seems like a low to mid reach because of your sat scores being well below their average and your act being about their average. However, you definitely show passion through extra curriculars so they’ll take notice of that…hmm I know you’re not a match but it shouldnt be too much of a reach at the same time. Make sure you have some solid safeties just in case… I know I’m a bit vague sorry about that however if you can muster a 650+ on the sat I reading section then you should be absolutely fine for tech!
