<p>This is just an update for those involved in my previous thread. In the two days since my thread has been closed, I just recently found out that I'm a semifinalist for the President's Scholarship at Georgia Tech (my top school). If I get this then the scholarship will cover 70% to my full tuition. I originally thought I wouldnt qualify for any merit based scholarships but I apparently I do! I just might be able to go to a great school at a bargain without staying in state. Thank you to those who helped me though, I truly appreciate it.</p>
<p>Great news! Best of luck.</p>
<p>Glad you found a viable option. GL! :)</p>
<p>Congratulations!!!</p>
<p>Good luck!!!</p>
<p>Looks like there will be 50 finalists/recipients out of 425 semi-finalists according to information on the school’s website.</p>
<p>Just be sure to keep looking for a financial safety if needed.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I could not be happier for you! And it feels like all of the pieces are coming together for you and your family at the same time…</p>
<p>Georgia Tech will be lucky to get you…and you will meet students from around the world with a great passion for learning…according to a release sent out yesterday, they accepted EA candidates from all 50 states and 42 foreign countries for 2014.</p>
<p>@SouthernHope Yep! And the acceptance rate for EA dropped 15%. Apparently it stayed relatively the same for instate so it was significantly harder for OOS.</p>
<p>congratulations! </p>
<p>and good luck</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
