<p>I was curious whether anyone had some information on who gets selected for PSP at GT. What sorts of scores/EC's are they looking for? I don't think I could go without a scholarship since I am OOS, and I don't know anyone that got selected.</p>

<p>Here are some of my stats (I am a girl and applied to the engineering school for aerospace, not sure if that makes a difference):</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 (UW), 4.55 (W)
Class Rank 1/364(UW), 6/364(W)
SAT: 770CR, 740M, 790WR (I also retook the SAT earlier this month)
Math II: 800, US History: 760, Chemistry: 760
ACT: 34; 35E, 35M, 36R, 31S; 8 Writing
Currently taking 5 AP's (Calc BC, Stat, Physics B, Bio, Eng Lit), took 5 last year as well (Chem, Calc AB, US Hist, US Gov, Eng Lang).</p>

<p>I heard that they don't take Subject Tests into consideration, is that true? It also said not to put distinctions like National Merit on the application, so I assume that doesn't count for the PSP either?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Here are some stats that might be helpful:</p>

<p>grades, involvements, and accomplishments count for a lot, obviously, if 43% of the 2300+ applicants did not make the first cut.</p>

<p>SAT II are not used: </p>
