<p>Just to note, Ga Tech's common data set is working against you.</p>
<p>It lists GPA as the most important academic trait- actually ahead of the class rigor...
EC's are listed as "important"</p>
<p>BUT- racial/ethnic status is "not considered"</p>
<p>Mind you, that could be b.s. for all we know, but it's specifically going out against AA... not all that surprising though when seeing the guy/girl ratio.</p>
