Across Georgia, parents and school guidance counselors are pushing high school seniors to finish their early action applications to Georgia Tech, due by Oct. 15. Parents are trying to give their teens an edge in the increasingly competitive process of gaining admission to Tech.
Before kids send off those applications, they ought to look at some of the common misperceptions about how students are selected for the state’s top public academic campus.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution asked Tech admissions folks to address some common assumptions about getting into the school. Among them: Does a student’s choice of major matter? Do rural Georgians enjoy an edge? Do test scores play a major role?
To see what Tech told us, go to the AJC Get Schooled blog for detailed responses. We also created a shorter video of some of Tech's responses here.
