I’m a junior, class of 2018, and I’m starting to narrow down and decide what colleges I would like to attend. Georgia Tech is the school that I really want to go to and I’ve already visited and really like the campus vibe. I would also like to know if I have any chance of getting the Provost OOS tuition waiver or being considered for Stamps Presidential Scholar since I won’t get much help from my parents in paying for college.
