[/ul]General Comments (and view on the whole process, advice for future CC’ers who want to apply to GT!): I’m so happy I got in because right now, GTech is definitely my third choice school in case I don’t get into the top two and it’s a great school. Don’t get overwhelmed and put everything to the last minute. I like that you can check everything online and it makes the process very smooth. GTech is a great school and I would love to go there, but the tuition for an OOS student is tough, so hopefully I’ll get enough financial aid…</p>

In general, the people posting here are relatively average to above average for GT (from what I’ve heard). If you got in, you’re more likely to come back here to post your acceptance than if you had been deferred or denied. Just go for it, and if you get in that’s great!</p>

<p>KemalAkbar “People on CC exaggerate their stats and spread a lot of bad information as if it’s fact. I would say this entire forum should be taken with a grain of salt. For whatever reason, people get off on exaggerating their stats and discouraging others.”</p>
<p>What basis do you have for this position? On a board like this the reporting stats won’t be representative of the entire acceptance class because there’s a self-selection bias. Those most interested and with stats that they are proud of will report their information. That doesn’t mean that they are exaggerating their stats and spreading false information. If you want to know the stats that are representative of the entire accepted student body then you should go to the college website.</p>
