I wish _all_ students with that profile were automatically accepted. I went to GT and while I guess it's nice in some ways that its now considered an elite university, I much preferred the persona of admitting everyone and weeding out people out so that they could give kids without stellar resumes a chance.


Me too! Unfortunately the only way to do that at tech is to aggressively expand student body size.

FWIW, idk when you got out but I graduated in 2018 and the professor’s love for low GPAs was still around in full force.
