<p>Got in and going there. I wasn’t doubtful of my chances here.</p>

<p>You are pretty much guaranteed admission into GT if you are a female or an Asian(Indian) who is good at math.</p>

51

<p>@College123college, I might agree somewhat with the female assumption, but being Asian and good at Math puts you among the thousands of others who share the same qualification. That is a hindrance and no more.</p>
