:))
shi id go
4.3
if a school has suicide issues, I don't feel comfortable going there
my state school is alright but id rather hv ga, michigan or uc ngl
fair point
thats fax
thats most T20s
yeah ikr
idk if itimposter syndrom or expectations
everyone from our school got deferred from columbia tho for some reason
huh
our schools been looking pretty good so far
3 ivy kids
yeah super weird
id rather get waitlisted LOL
oh damn
yeah im also like that lol
some unfortunate deferrals but they still have a good RD shot
u dont know whats hard until u get there
we had one person who got into mit last year apart from the literally 0 Ivy or T10 in last 7 years
oh shit damn nice
oh our val always goes to harvard
yeah
i kinda dont want them to although that might sound a bit wrong
most ppl jus want uva and call it a day
does that make our school a feeder?
bc i wanna get into columbia LOL
which is a good school
is that what a feeder school is?
not great for cs thos
hmm how many vals do u have usually?
feeder IMO is like 15+ accepted to a certain school
1?
maybe 10
we used to be a feeder to berkeley until 2020
i rly wanted columbia aint gon lie
who wants to live in smelly nyc anyway :))))))
covid turned everything around
oh
oh nvm then
wouldnt say feeder then
isn't val the top gpa?
mines a feeder for va tech xD
HAHAAA
how would you have multiple?
yep
cuz we have so many 4.0s lol
ohhh
yeah
yeah we only have 1 max
last year we had 80 smth 4.0s
our top rank took 1 ap class got an A+ and stuck to getting straight A+ in honors classes
ohh
we have multiple 4.0s but we use weighted
oh damn
else it would be too easy
ahhh i see
gotchuu
yeah ig our school does it differently then
we dont use weighted at all
if they weighted it fairly id have a 4.3 : )
do you guys have levels?
oh lol
wdym levels?
like honors, AP, IB, etc.
oh yeah ofc
those count differently towards gpa
also our val is selected by a board in the case of a tie
our school doesnt calculate weighted
but unis do
so ppl still take a lot
for that
and course rigor
yeah makes sense
ah i see
our school doesnt offer too many APs tho
in our school's past, people didn't take courses for rigor
just harder courses for stuff they cared about
same
i see
I'll have 9 (10 if you count both physics) by the end of this year
yea yea nice id have 9 too
mm i wish i took more jr year but i didnt even know what they were
lowkey same
my councellor dead ass was like oh theyre harder than normal classes
now that I think about it, I could've taken one more
no context
i skipped out on aplac unfortunately cuz i dint get the class
since all seats were taken
my counselor is lowkey a massive W
i shouldve taken physics, comp sci principles and like psychology or something
all our school counselors are ass cheeks
Ive had 3 and Ive been here a year and a half
money on an external counselor
oh wtf
there r 2k ppl at my school so like
2k seniors????
dawg what
the councellors literally dont know anyone except the ppl who go there frequently
fr praying all the classes I skipped to meet with her paid off
ohhh kk makes more sense
ah
for our school at least our counselors never try with the students
not bad for first year ig
oh thats fine
bruh I got all 3s lmao
this year got calc bc, csa, stat, and gov
lol its fine
then proceeded to submit them all so they didn't think I failed
at least not a 2
i dead thought i failed calc
that shi was so hard
most unis dont use ap scores for admissions, its mainly used for credit at the college
so dwai
too much
wen i saw a 4 i was like i am not complaining lmao
thank god
im using it as an argument for my ability
mhmm
sure u can ๐
I would laugh if I fail calc
like despite this other stuff im clearly competent ig
that 4 was a blessing
but bc lowkey easier than ab idk y
oh lol
tru
im mainly mad about my 4 in ap physics c
higher 5 rate too
got 5s everything else
I have a friend who got a 2
oh :((
lol i took 3 years of physics i did not want to take it again
he had to have gotten like a 20 on the exam
2 is just annoying cuz hed have to retake class in uni
acc i did all 3 of the sciences 3 years in a row
LOL i can feel that
except i only did 2 yrs
oof
went to a really prestigious school that doesn't take ap credits anyways so it doesn't matter
for chem got to organic chem and said ye its not worth it
for physics i jus rly dont like electricity and shit
he's happy and doesn't care about his ap calc score
yeah should be fine then :))
good on him
ahh lol
okiee anyways gtgg eat lunch
its 2 here
@lofty harness does your school still use the app the one kid made?
and i feel hungry lol
from collegeresults
wdym?
use the app as in?
oh wait
i got it now lol
i thought u meant college app
but yeah
oh lol
alright enjoy your lunch
yepp tyy ๐ค
any1 know when last years batch got the news on when theyre decision is coming
im gonna cry a fuckton on that day
tears of joy ofc
i hope so ๐
sadness
1 month 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
CE here
me
I attended a zoon meeting for first gen gt apllication. And I shit u not. More half of the ppl there are applying CS
stuff u should already know
its a huge time waster
All they said is: university will be very hard
atleast i showed some interest
Also one more thing I learn: the CS application selection will be BRUTAL. According to admission officers
i thought they didnt admit by major
The seats fill out fast. Similar to Purdue
when they accepts the EA. they have less seats for the RD
me
Because it is the world my guy
true
why these mfs takin so long for decisions at ea2
ong
every time I go back to read my GT essay I die of cringe (it was my first essay)
SAME๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
i was so excited to write it that i thought it'd be cool to write it first
and i look at it now, its shit
want to swap essays for fun?
suree
SAME
๐คฎ
i think it was like my second or smth
guys i have formatted my GT essay too much
too many random bolds
i cant do anything abt it now
how badly could this affect things๐ญ
Georgia Tech
why was the rd thread deleted
you're doomed
if you get rejected it's because too many words were bolded
lol i submitted like 3 applications with everything bolded
dk how i didnt see the thread before but rly good info
sure
wsg
slay
lmao im 12 hours late should i bother submitting? my supplemental essay was pure shit
What major
mechanical engineering 
i sacrified georgia tech for rice ๐
I guess we will never see each other again ๐
baby yoda is super cute and GOOD LUCK getting into georgia tech cool person
too bad my gpa is shit and I go to a competitive public hs ๐ญ๐ญthx tho best of luck to you as well to Asian food university
The white rice gives nice flavor imo
Brown rice is good too
Overall it makes good fried rice
unfortunate but i wish you the best of luck anyways and i will show up at georgia tech if you dont get accepted ๐ช
and thank you asian food university is beautiful
Yes
and you too i hope you get a full ride at everywhere you apply cool perseon
God i hope they release the EA 2 results soon
๐ต๏ธ ๐ง ๐
I send my regards cool person
Thats so late!! I cant wait anymore๐ฅฒ
Same man
u can judge my frustration from my username
kek
Georgia tech ๐คค
๐ฉ
i applied EA for oos but when exactly tf is "late january" for results๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
DIESOFCRINGE
release this text message to GT
expose this berry dude
๐
ok
found the xqc fan
anyone got an idea of when ea2 results come out?
๐ญ๐ญ not just xqc says it HELPPP
says? ๐จ i thought u were referring to the emote lol
says/types/etcetc
yea
what's it even for
financial aid portal
oh
I made an acc but i tried to sign in and all i saw was stuff to change my pw with
is this the OSCAR thing?
idk its at the bottom of my portal
oh yea
if u click on the "our website link"
you see this
so yea it's the same thing
this GT account gives u access to fin aid stuff
if im not applying for fin aid so i still have to do it?
j do it bruh
it takes all of 5s
You should still do it
They send you a username
Check ur emails
Ok
is this only for domestic students?
I think so
anyone know if they announced ea2 decision dates?
gt lowkey one of my dream schools.. prayin hard
stick to usc, GT is mine:(
lol lets see
u got strong stats for gt
idk what ur course rigor is
but ur competitive
as a kid in the national board
a lot...just not what usa calls rigour
my school dont offer AP exams and stuff
im oos but i live intl
iirc int AR usually <10%
oh
i see
god i wish i was instate for gt
uc instate doesnt help for shit
i mean it does
but not really
vs gt instate has super high admit rate
almost 40%
umich instate is like 50%
meanwhile there are tons of smart kids here in cali that cant crack berk/la
yeah instate helps so much
as an oos i do have a better chance than an intl right?
but then again my application is compared with intl kids
so i really dont know where I come in
instate > oos > intl
man i really wish i get in
ur app is read by an intl AO
but the committe sees you as an OOS citizen
Gt has ea2?
atleast thats what I think
same
yes thats what sara told me
yeaa, its for oos and intl only
how many things has she told you already, on god
ea1 is instate
What??? Do u change it on the portal?
can she tell you that your friend Vijit will get into GA Tech as well pls
I applied rd
ahh then no can do
deadline for ea2 has passed
and ea2 results come out late jan
cant ๐ญ๐ญ
lol
she doesnt even respond on mail
that would be dumb
i talked to her in person
thats when she said
i name dropped how i talked to her in my essay lmfaoo
study for your physics exam
lmao
no
stop hanging out on discord 24/7
i'll have dinner and sleep]
ur GA tech decision wont change from that
wait both of you are in the same school?
shut up, this is gonna be my entire day after tomo
nah but we know each other
i see i see
where are you from?
india
but do you TOUCH GRASS
I go on a fucking 10 km run irl every day, tf you mean
grass where?
I literally live in the hills with grass everywhere ๐ญ
you literally saw it in my caltech portfolio ๐ญ
no๐ญ why does everyone assume that
cuz im from mumbai
its just a reaction
Shimla here
nicee
damn aren't you like freezing rn
if Indian states were taken into account just like how US states are - I would be an auto admit in every US university. Cuz no one in my region got ECs like me and stuff
cuz no one in my region got anything ๐ญ
lmfao
other than maybe JEE but thats it
MIT, UChicago, HKUST
jee is in 15 days hmph
might get CUHK any time randomly this month
When the fuck are we getting our decisions
atb
January 28 (based on past patterns, not official)
ty
i wish they saw this thread
Ah
๐
Well 28 is the weekend this year so imo either the 27th or the 1st
i'd have a difficult time lol
27th mostly its been the last friday of jan
for me, 3 decisions cuz ed and 2 safeties
ive only got one yet which is kind of a safety
which
pennstate
ahh
i didnt even plan them out
i got cmu, casewestern and upitts
chose based on the names that looked good,๐ฟ
cmu rejected cuz my smart ass went with cs
tuff
i should have used my ed for penn
upenns decisions been weird this year tho
yea and its so random
lets see if my rd application works for them
wdym?
my friend with a 1560 and pretty good ecs didnt get in but one with 1480 got in lmfao
bruhh
and the 1480 was a superscore
which major
biz both
ahh
school counselor was rolling on the floor
ig the essays made the difference
cant really bank on anything everything has to be good
atb
and essays were my best ones yet
dope bro
the most lol
idk if i stand a chance with a 1500
bay area but India
which is why havent thought of penn or like duke darmouth etc
ya all writing ur best supplement first
my MIT supplement was my second last (in EA)
so I get more experience before writing it
bro me but with mit
๐ซ
if you have a 1500 /+, your score is not that big a deal
you stand a good chance
ofc a 1550+ would be even more epic, but you can get in without that too
all my applications are reaches or extreme reaches lol
the only targets are HKUST, HKU, CUHK, and safety is university of Utah
tru
and cuz of CS, my safeties are targets
gt doesnt really care about test scores i think
they keep talking on their websites and blogs and wtv that they drc about sat/act
CWRU ftw
then why are their ranges so bad
all ga publics had do
had to
they were forced to
valid
idk we'll see with how it goes this year
there are some stem schools that dont really take sat that seriously
for example caltefch
caltech
yes
yeah theyre test blind because they dont care about sat
Is 1510 with 800M competitive for Math major
International student
๐ซก
Aight thanks
congrats bruh 800 math is crazy
i tried for it
went from a 780 first test to a 770 second test
damnnn
but tbh i only retook because i wanted to buff my reading score
44...
def great
mine's just there but not quite
790๐
oh wow
780 Math, 730 EBRW
cry
10 less in each
exactly
2 reading questions and a math question
or one writing question and one math question
damn
thats the level of difference we have
Damn
i have just a 740
carrying my superscore
damn
i jumped from 680 to 740 tho so yay
@crude pilot whats your writing score out of 40
660-680-730
I sold my ass to push from 640 to 710
what is a writing score
๐ช
38 here
tbh
so ya got 35 reading like me eh lol
lol
are all of you CS @ gt
yee
Math
W
im doing physics rn
praying that i clutch up CM tbh
W
i love physics
oh wait I AM SO DUMB
so true
I am taking the angle between two random lines instead instead of current and position line thing
Ik im not making sense but what I mean is, I am dumb
I actively dodge physics every opportunity I get ๐ญ . My grades are lopsided af.
Does anyone know how to access the Oscar shit
Oscar?
The financial aid thing
Ty
Me with uva 25% 
630-710 jump for me was a nightmare
Thank god itโs over
800m 710 ebrw vibing 
same lmao
one of my friends got an interview for a full ride there so who knows
680 to 700+ was a nightmare
I got requested financial info itโs really weird
i got sent the fin aid portal but it didnt rly ask for anth
I got asked for basically everything lmao
shi maybe i got rejected xD
nah bro ur fine
however i saw some kid that got idoc also got accepted
they also processed my shit extremely fast
i think that only some kids get idoc because of verification or smth
however i dont think if you dont get financial aid it doesnt mean you didnt get accepted
true
my parents did the fin aid process for me so in all honesty dk wtf goin on over there
bro idoc is a mad mess
im not even sure if ive submitted all the docs lmao
fair enough
i searched up they use it for federal verification but i wasnt selected on the SAR
so idk it must be something else they are looking into
what how
read above
ur chillin bro
instate?
free
i got 1510 with 3.98 uw
do you live in nova?
got a 3.8 uw and 3.9 w cuz i moved from out of country jr yr
nah richmond area
stayed in alexandria a while back tho
alr that shouldnt be a disadvantage
nova area hella competitive
ye most ppl down here do va tech/jmu/gmu
vtech is cool but in the middle of nowhere
true
charolettesville better than blacksburg
tru
vtech is better for eng
but for CS uva is better
rice hall for cs was built in 2012
or smth like that
mm
ye idk i was looking at rankings and uva wasnt too high for cs
hoping that gives me slightly better chances
uva is just outside t20 i believe for cs
i mean compared to gtech it shouldnt be as impossible
u mean in oscar?
they use css not idoc
css is different
ahhh ok
they required me to send css
ah ok ok
are you oos?
yea
i am lmao
i feel a rejection too
AE 4.0 UW 4.7 W 32 ACT / some national some regional awards/ecs but nothing insane and my why major wasnโt the best
you have a shot
i talked about doing model rocketry and how iโm interested in how broad their AE program is
hopefully maybe
i donโt think imma get a scholarship or finaid which will be a huge bummer
i canโt pay 40k
i will likely get rejected because of aid
fr? are you intl?
nah oos they are need aware
i didnโt think they rejected based on aid domestic tf
theyre need blind only to instate
efc 0?
no
then ur probably fine
if you donโt have an efc of 0 i think theyโll cover everything
georgia tech is need aware?
pretty sure all are
maybe unc
isnt uva nice with aid to
oh wait uva is need-blind
yeah
uva is generally competitive across all majors
UVA also meets 100% need
ye same as in state
both would be great tbh
lmao
yeah
georgia techs total cost is less than most schools after aid for me
so i love georgia tech
dang
iโll see what aid i get tbh
they do?
i donโt think iโll get a scholarship
i thought oos is non existant
well 22k/yr is not bad for oos
its like 50k total
you'll get in
4.7 W is crazy good
hoping my math background carries
same
Bet
but at the end of the day its college decisions ๐ญ
I applied financial aid, but I donโt need it
ah
U good
vvvvvv goood shot
cs major tho
lol
ur in bro
if u applied cs its all luck after a certain extent
1510 nearly perfect uw ๐
nicee
im dead for cs
yeah thats true
noooooo
when does gt typically come out?
28th jan
does GT get a mid year report? also because like my grades for sem1 still havent been finalized๐
is there like a certain deadline
i swearrr i cant believe everything is not yet finalized
only care because finally boosted my hpa up to the next like whole number๐
i swear i;ve improved from my pre-calculus grade drop sophomore year...
wait huh? does it need to be reported before decisions come out?
oo can u link that so i can see the deadline
ooooo icicic ty
yep
is this for rd or ea
im guessing rd cuz mid year grades dont come out that early
thats for deferrals tho
is the midyear on your checklist
that'll be the most straightforward way for you to see if you need to do it
i donโt think itโs necessary for ea
i shall just wait for my deferralthe--
im ea
so this doesnt appl y
i didnโt even know gt deferred
if its not on your checklist then ur fine
if i get straight up rejected i will ๐
but also if i get deferred ik theres no chance for me in the RD pool yk

๐๐ญ mfw oos
probably
gt was like my only other EA except for my state school (required nov1 deadline ๐)
once they allocate all of their merit scholarships ea
i did harvard, my safety, and gt ea
based
god i literally fixed my PE for the RD round (just the concluding paragraph) and it sounds a lot nicerr ๐ญ
me when i run my essay through chatgpt to make it flow better
i just did gt rd 
i did that for the concluding paragraph hahah
based
true af
safety had none, harvard had like 3-4
and then gt 1
then rd i shotgunned
i hope my GT one is good i thought it sounded fine๐ญ
when does gt rd close
was it due the 4th? of jan? dont quote me on this idk hahahah
ohh ok good
yeah
yea mine was still a mess
it was 4th of jan
i be like sniping a professor like. WOW I LOVE YOUR WORK LET ME IN PLEAAA
damn it was like my first supplement though so its kind of a little bit ROUGH lol
the first one i worked on
oooo
i was born in FL tho
FRRR SAME
sorta ๐คฃ
i know more on what to talk abt but also its more rushed
i hope the AO takes pity on my little loser ass essay
LMFAOO
frrrrr
my ec descs were scuffed af too
same
i like forgor ๐
I was like โoh yeah i coordinated those big art festivalsโ
and completely forgot ea
MEE fr
i was like let me in please i am artsy PLEASE TAKE ME
my ECs are lowk mid because im like a little shut-in ๐ญ

felt
artsy applying to โจAEโจ
๐๐๐
Did gatech announce when will the EA2 decisions will be released?
not yet
on oscar in admissions under standardized testing it shows my toefl individual scores are way lower than they are but my total toefl is the same does anyoen else have that issue
hi guys sorry the layout is lowk confusing me a little bit... so do i have no unsatisfied requirements?
no you need to do the css
ya but i did the css ๐ญ
maybe it hasn't gone thru?? ๐ค i did it like 4 days ago if it matters
if it doesnt process in the next 3 days contact sfs
๐คค what is sfs
mine processed in like 2 days so thats kinda weird
oh wow wtf
student financial services
or contact office of fin aid
oki
that is odd tho ๐ญ damn
is the "correct your css profile" always there or did i do smth wrong hahhaa
where

yeah you gotta correct it
wtf i didnt even get an email or notif that there was a problem
its asking why im correcting it ๐ญ
isn;t that always there????
ask #๐ต-financial-aid
idk if its normal or not
ok๐ญ ty
personally i only got the sections App Status, Payment, Colleges and Programs, and IDOC
i have no IDOC (whatever that is)
ohh no hahahah
ooo
i think it is i have the same thing
Most popular names lol
52.3k IN ALL? or just ea
because bro
SHEESH last year it was 50.6k
1.7k more applied this year
where/how did you check this btw?
nvm, I figured it out
All
oh
Whereโs this figure
i just chekced google for the acceptance rate
not very reliable info
i just wanted a rough estimate
LET ME INNNN
No. 5790 spots for u guys. One of the spot is for me
bro is hogging all the confidence-leaving none for us ๐ญ
how often do they defer, especially for CS?
lol, Im just joking. I am just another average joe in the GA tech apllication
this year will prob be brutal with all the CS applicants
it's always brutal
actually. let me take that back. tech is actually going to take in more CS students this year
so it will actually be less brutal
what are my chances as a shit gpa good sat usaco plat
but the thing is most of them wont major in CS
why not
but will there be more or less CS applicants
to compensate for the increasing CS applicants, Tech will take more CS applicants this year
could be good and bad
changing major is extremely common. And 2/3 will drop out of CS.
I assume that's all in state ppl
no everyone
oos are all the super smart cs kids
How do you guys know whether they will take more or less CS applicants this year
no ppl who dont have passion for CS or stem
STEM espcially CS is being advertised like a product
ik a lot of ppl applying computational media
maybe i should have applied that instead of CS
I hate that people are applying cm to try and backdoor cs
It's very annoying but like
Whatever
interesting
what is computational media about anyway
y'all think ur geniuses for applying for a different major
meanwhile trying to switch into CS is gonna beat ur asses ๐
cant believe in this day and age people think the "apply for different major and switch to competitive major" still works
ur either in or ur not
they're all delusional
swap strat doesn't help you and instead hurts the dude who actually wants to do the major u false declared
apply for your major
you don't get in? better luck next time(your offspring)
fr
or transfer next spring
very valuable insight
