<p>Hello,
I'm a junior in NC, GaTech is incredibly expensive due to its out of state tuition. How difficult is it to earn one of the few significant scholarships that Tech offers? I have a 3.95 UW GPA, a 4.9 Weighted GPA and a 2190 SAT (710 R 740 M 740 W.) Do I have a chance at receiving a significant scholarship? (I know I didn't include lots of info, but I am in the IB Diploma program if that helps.</p>
<p>You might also want to ask this in the Georgia Tech forum, there may be people there who have specific knowledge.</p>

<p>Approximately the top 7% of GT freshman get merit-based awards. 1450 SAT is just barely in the top 25% of the enrolled students, so a significant merit award is unlikely. Also, Georgia residents are favored for the top awards.</p>
<p>Your stats are excellent and will get you substantial merit awards at many schools, but merit awards at GT are very hard to come by, especially from out of state.</p>
