Obviously, your test score. As of now, it’s basically a rejection. Nowadays GTech wants to see a 32 at a minimum although most with a 32 get denied.
Do our parents have 200k foe your education?

Wow, 32 is essentially a minimum? Did the middle %50 percent change? I thought it was 30-33 or something for middle 50

The mid 50 for GT was 30-34

Look at the Results threads for Georgia Tech. In the past two years, it’s decided to become hyper selective, as if it wanted to become the South 's MIT or Cal (which it can be, but at the expense of many students who’d have been admitted in previous years due to their stellar stats.)

@PlacidPlatypus Having a 32 does not put you at a minimum or decrease your chances. Tech reviews holistically so dont worry about your test score being 2-3 points “lower”.
