<p>GT is my first choice, so I was going to go with EA but I haven't taken the SAT yet (taking it on this week). I found out last night that you can still send in Oct scores, but it was too late for me.. :(</p>
<p>I'm thinking of sending in my application by Nov 1, but then you are automatically qualified for President's Scholarship program and I'm not really confident that I could get the scholarship.
(I mean, there's going to be hundreds of monsters w/ 2400 SAT and 100ECs.....)</p>
<p>So my question is this : If I don't get the scholarship, do I still have a chance of getting accepted? If I do, will the chance of me getting in be lower than submitting application on the regular due date? If I get rejected, can I reapply on the regular due date?</p>
<p>Thanks for reading,
Any comment is appreciated.</p>
<p>That’s too bad that you missed the Early Notification deadline. It doesn’t matter whether you could get that scholarship or not - you are simply automatically applying for the scholarship by just applying for the school earlier. If you don’t get the scholarship you still have a great chance of being accepted - less than 100 actually end up being enrolled President’s Scholars, if I’m correct. And the school says that the chances are the same - they use the same criteria - but if they aren’t sure about your application when they review it early, they will probably just defer it unless your application is god-awful.</p>
<p>So if they think your SAT scores may be iffy, or your EC’s aren’t enough, they will defer you and let you update those to be reconsidered.</p>
<p>And no, if you get flat-out rejected, you cannot reapply on the regular date.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply cshumate,
I guess I’ll just send in my app. by Nov 1.</p>
