I was deferred from Georgia Tech. My statistics are within the averages, 3.8 GPA, 12 AP, 2050 SAT, 29 ACT (31, 31, 30, 24) and a ton of ECs (3 years of Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony, principal clarinetist senior year, 5 years of Allstate Band for Clarinet, 6 years of District Band, 6 clubs with a leadership role in Science Olympiad, also participated in Cross Country and Track and Field in junior year). I am confused and I don’t know what I can do. Georgia Tech is my top choice and its the place I’ve been dreaming of since freshman year. I spoke to my school counselor and she said ask any questions, to the admissions counselor for our region (whose email she provided for me) and also recommended that I express my desire to go to this school. Would mentioning that I am confused about my deferral considering that many fellow students from my school with similar, and some with even worse, statistics and ECs have been accepted and I have not?
