Hi guys, I was deferred from Georgia Tech. Issue is, my fall semester grades aren’t good. How much will this hurt me? I have B-'s and B’s and a C+, but the rest are A’s.
That is something nobody on this site can answer. It might be worth going to talk with your guidence counselor to preempt any issue. The GC, if he or she feels it is warranted, can call the school and explain the reasons for your grades and discuss your strengths and reiterate your interest and your aptitude. If you were one of mine, that is what I’d urge you to do rather than to sit and fret and rather than just allowing whatever to happen. I am not saying your grades will hurt your chances. There is no way to tell. You GC may have a relationship with GT and will be able to intervene. Alternatively he or she may know what GT tends to do in these situations. Take the bull by the horns and go talk with him/her.
