[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:[/li][/ul]General Comments:</p>
<p>obviously 3.6 is not his Tech GPA or he would have been accepted.</p>
<p>3.6 x 500 + 1560=3360, his Georgia Freshman index.
3.96 x 500 + 1380=3360, average admit.
So he ONLY measures up as equal to the average admit.
Tech is looking at an awesome Freshman class. And some other schools are looking at awesome applicants who were waitlisted.</p>
