[georgia tech] early action vs regular decision

<p>MY GPA is pretty low and my question is whether i should apply for Early Action vs regular decision. Because, if i apply for regular decision i will have my 1st semester senior year grades to boost my GPA slightly. But, if i apply for EA they will not see me 1st semester senior year grades until they accept/decline me. I was wondering if this is even important regarding EA vs RD for Georgia Tech.</p>

<p>If you go EA, and they think you have potential, they will defer you. Then you’ll be in the RD pool and you’ll send your first semester grades.</p>

<p>If you get rejected EA, that’s them telling you that nothing you could do first semester would save you.</p>
