<p>I think unless you copy and paste the wrong essay, you’re absolutely in. GT considers standardized tests very highly, and yours are excellent.</p>

<p>You also have a shot at the Presidential Scholarship IMO. So, best of luck!</p>

<p>From what I’ve heard mostly your scores get you into PS semifinalist, so you will make that. After that it will depend on interviews and personality etc.</p>

<p>We’ll definitely encourage D to apply, then. She would need out of state tuition deferment to make GaTech attractive to us. Might as well give it a shot. </p>

<p>thanks,

<p>I don’t know really, but I agree with the shoe-in part for admission. When I applied as an undergrad back in '03 and I failed to get semifinalist with slightly higher stats. I believe the criteria is holistic even for semifinalist. Do you have to declare an area of interest on the application? It’s hard to evaluate your EC’s without that.</p>
