<p>Ok I sort of answered this on another thread.:)</p>

<p>recalculate her gpa the tech way. meaning no art,music,health classes. They tell you which classes they count on the website and how to figure the gpa.</p>

<p>last years admitted class tech version of the gpa was a■Mid-50% GPA: 3.77 - 4.08</p>

<p>So if her recalculated gpa is in that range she has a good chance of getting in. There is someone else on this thread that had a good gpa but got a ‘C’ in a math class and they told her/him that’s why she/he got deferred. So if your DD had a ‘C’ in any class that may be why she got deferred too. Just a guess though…</p>

<p>Getting right down to business: GaTech is #2 in BioMed. The next one on your D’s list is San Diego, at #5. Your best bet is GaTech. </p>

<p>Weighted is relatively low, but good scores. I believe she will get in.</p>

<p>Good luck. Her stats look better than my sons, at least when I recalculate GPA based on GaTech’s definition. I thought he would really get in and was very surprised to learn about the deferral. Guess we will see what happens during the RD round.</p>

<p>GaTech computed GPA - 3.62
Highschool computer weighted GPA - 4.6
ACT - 35
SAT - 2140
SAT 1s - 800 - Math; 790 - Physics; 770- US History
Only 1 AP - US History - 5
This year 4 more APs</p>
