Okay yea, ECs are okay, but i’m not certain since you’re international. I know some schools like Purdue take a lot of international kids from India but I think GT takes about 500 kids. So your chances are pretty okay but I can’t be sure since you’re from abroad. I think it’ll be a fair shot though.</p>

@Yugadz‌ I think you have a slightly low SAT score, but your ACT might be able to make it up. I think it’s a high match.

27

Why does it say on buzzport, “No Applications to Show” even though I submitted mine, and btw I applied for regular decision? Is it because the EA students decisions are released today

28

In the email they sent out a few days ago, they said the application quickview on Buzzport would be unavailable when the decision is being released. That’s probably what it is.
