I am currently a junior in high school, and I went to Georgia Tech and Emory for campus tours this past week. Most of my relatives and my friends say that Georgia Tech is right for me, but I want to know if I have a good chance of getting in.
I am a female Muslim, I live in Georgia, and my brother attended and graduated from GATech in 2012 (not sure if GT looks at relatives being alumni or not). I want to major in Biomedical Engineering.
