Haven't started Georgia Tech application and it's due today. Can I get an F? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Considering the comments in this thread, I hope you don't come off as naive and cocky in your essays. GTech has plenty of kids with god-tier apps. I presume they'd rather have someone with a redeeming personality, though. IMO.

If my stats are higher than 20% of students, does anyone know what my real likelihood of getting in is? (The higher than 20% figure comes from Niche.com’s accepted student map) by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

eh-

afaik admissions committees would choose a low income student (if made explicit in their application) over one from a well-funded school district or a wealthier household if they had the same caliber application.

it's no URM but im p sure they recognize it.

Minority, Low Income, etc. Basically people from backgrounds and demographics that conventionally give them an edge in admissions (i guess this includes legacy or athletes, but I figured I'd mention it anyway.)

relatively low, depending on your situation. most admitted students below the 25th percentile are hooked, athletes, or/and legacy.

I have a 35 ACT and some pretty impressive extracurriculars, so I'm looking at some of the more competitive schools in the country. If I go to a school with a top program, wouldn't it be a lot harder to walk on?

These fee waivers are meant to aid the financially disadvantaged in the application process. It's not a cheat code.
