<p>If anyone could evaluate my application that would be great. I applied early action and will find out this Friday.</p>
<p>My biggest concern is my unweighted GPA, i had 4 B+'s freshmen-junior year which can only count as a 3 on the unweighted scale which brings it down. Also I am from Pennsylvania so I will probably face tougher review from admissions.</p>

<p>Thanks for the insight
Since there are Georgia Tech is a state school it is right to assume that since there are fewer out of state students admitted, it is more difficult for out of state students to be accepted? On the same token there are also less out of state students applying. What is the balance between these two factors</p>
<p>Two things from last year. Out of state students were held to exactly the same standards as in-state students. And a two-part SAT of 1470 with a Ga Tech GPA of 3.735 (graduated with 3.782) was deferred, then wait-listed and gave up.
Last year was supposed to be the peak of college apps for a number of years, so it may be easier to be admitted this year.</p>
<p>From what I can tell, in-state and out-of-state are treated the same. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t try to compare your stats with a similar student last year - there are so many individual factors involved (EC’s, school attended, classes taken, essay, legacy, etc) that it’s not really a valid comparison. If you’re going to compare yourself to other applicants, compare yourself to a large group of applicants.</p>
<p>“Deferred, then waitlisted, then gave up” had outstanding ECs (lettered in sports and music), was Beta Club and National Honor Society, and had two Bs (one each) for junior and senior year. Took only five AP (one year) courses which was max allowed by school - more would have helped GPA. Best I can tell GPA was the killer - it did appear that begging one more time after waitlisting might have worked - Tech had on line daily the changes in GPA/SAT as people came off the wait list. Tech came up short for their freshman class this fall and students nationwide should be less so it might be easier this year.</p>
