<p>ga tech is so corrupt and biased against elite private high schools....i am a danforth finalist for wash u yet i couldn't even become a presidential semi-finalist at ga tech....</p>
<p>My son is interested in Ga tech but still has a couple of years of high school to go. Would some of you PSP semi-finalists and finalists kindly post your stats (including EC activities and time spent), so that I can get some idea of what they are looking for? Thank you!</p>
<p>They've taken people in mid-1200's if they have great grades, exceptional involvement, and excellent essays. Remember: you're applying against almost 5,000 people, so if you want your application to stand out, take some time on it. Neatness can't hurt. From a recent presentation they gave at GT: a majority of the people who made semifinalist who applied 2+ weeks before the 10/31 deadline found out within 3 weeks (early Nov.) that they were admitted and a SF. A majority of those who applied the last day were admitted and chosen as SF 6+ weeks (mid-Dec.) after they applied.</p>
