Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi, I am an american permanent resident with Indian education (i am an Indian) I want to know if i can get admission into Georgia Tech . </p>

<p>I apply in October early action plan this year.</p>

<p>Assume that i write all the essays and stuff with average-good rating. Moreover does my international education and race affect my chance. If yes please tell how and is it good or bad that i am internationally educated ?</p>

<p>------------ACADEMICS---------------</p>

<p>-grade 10 = 9.2/10
-grade 11 = 1st term 79.2% (INDIAN HIGH SCHOOL IS VERY TOUGH)
= 2nd term-75%.
= Overall - 75.something %
-grade 12 = will send, haven't given the exams right now.</p>

<p>-SAT I = CR-650, Writing-660, Math-790 .
= total - 2100/2400 and 1440/1600 (CR+Math)</p>

<p>-SAT II = will give physics and Math IIC. expecting greater than 780 in Maths and a 800 in physics</p>

<p>------------COCURRICULARS----------</p>

<p>-Volunteer work in an organisation promoting education among poor. ( each one, teach one)
here i basically taught those who couldn't go to school basic English and Math. Have the certificate.</p>

<p>-I also have 3-4 more such volunteer work certificates. I am not writing them all down as it would take time. Just that all are of volunteer work in fields of education, Disaster managment etc. I am gonna explain these in detail in my application.</p>

<p>-LORs from physics teacher and math teacher.</p>

<p>------------PERSONAL---------------</p>

<p>-My real brother who is 6 years older than me got accepted into it for MTech (Master of Technology equivalent of MSc.) in EE. I want to do B.Tech and M.tech( if i get the option) in CE.
It says on their site that they consider Alumini relation. My brother wont be a alumini since he wont finish his college by the time i apply...but does this count?</p>

<p>Please tell me can i get into GA Tech...Thankyou for your consideration in advance</p>

<p>Just as a warning to everyone… </p>

<p>The ~75% does not mean the same thing that it does translate to letter grades the same way it does in American schools. It’s much a stronger average than the percentage implies, and universities understand this.</p>

<p>Chancing you is tricky, but I would say that you’re a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>Just for fun, revive a dead thread.

<p>What will be your major?</p>

<p>I think you will most likely get in as long as you are willing to pay full fee.</p>

5

<p>I want to do Computer Engineering and i want financial aid as i live in india and paying the whole fee might be a little bit of a problem</p>

6

<p>I’d say it’s a high match to low reach. Your CR and Writing SAT scores aren’t as strong as some applicants, but I think the bigger problem is financial aid. It’s difficult for an OOS, let alone an international student, to get financial aid at a public university like Georgia Tech.</p>

7

<p>whats high match and low reach…i do not understand how you rate like this? Morover i am just internationally educated. I still am a American Resident.</p>

8

<p>Financial aid in a state school does not usually come free. I understand some schools may have grants but not always for out of state students. </p>

<p>They may be loans that you need to repay.</p>

9

<p>GA Tech: High match (or 20-40% chance to get in)</p>

<p>I knew Indian 75% averages wouldn’t mean the same as American 75% averages.</p>

10

<p>GA Tech does not give aid to internationals, but this student is a permanent resident so is treated as a domestic applicant for aid purposes.</p>

<p>OP, if you are not a GA state resident, financial aid is limited. It is not likely they will meet full need, so make plans accordingly.</p>
