<p>Gender: female
Ethnicity: white</p>
<p>I’m guessing that being a girl helped my application since Georgia Tech has mostly a male population. I’ve seen a lot of very qualified people get rejected or wait-listed Congrats to all accepted!</p>
<p>Decision: Waitlisted
Abridged list of stats (small school offers very very few options)
ACT - 30
GPA unweighted - 3.97, weighted - 4.0
One AP class (Biology) complete, four in progress (AB Calculus, English, Spanish, Environmental Science)
Varsity soccer player 4 years, All-district French horn 3 years, Beta Club Chapter VP.
Decent essays; Grammatical and concise, but not inspired.
Caucasian female from rural community - don’t know if this helped or hurt.
If they give me an offer, I will definitely enroll at Ga. Tech.
Good luck to everybody!</p>
