Hello, I am an in-state Asian female who applied for Georgia Tech Early Action, and is deathly scared of her decision. I decided to ask for your help in hopes of alleviating my worries. It’s not that I’m scared of rejection, I just really want something to help with the wait! Any comments will be greatly appreciated!

No work experience, no legacy
I’m quite worried for my regular decisions because my first semester senior grades aren’t looking too good. I know I will end up with a B in AP Lit, and I may receive a B in AP Government.
I was accepted to UGA, and I have pending results for Georgia Tech (EA), Vanderbilt (RD), Emory (RD), and Duke (RD).
I’m mostly concerned about Georgia Tech because it’s my top pick, which is why I listed just that school in the subject. If you wouldn’t mind chancing me for my other schools, that would be great, too, but no worries. Just Georgia Tech will be very helpful.
Thank you so much.
