My sister's son got in, too, just saw the email. He was a student there for some kind of class and got credit, through some program so he had already kinda got accepted.
He likes Tech, but he says it's one of his "fall back" schools. I'm sure his parents hope he goes there for financial reasons, but he's got his eyes on some other schools too. If he gets in to MIT, he wants to go there. Not sure if he will get it, though.
I asked him, "why you wanna go to the Georgia Tech of the North?" He said that he was interested in living in a different part of the country for a while, and more than 30min from home. I can see his point.
