Georgia Tech (2022-2023)

[elfin perch]

i dont think ill switch

but like mfs i know are like HEHEHE i applied computational media

and i ask them why not cs and theyre like idk what the majors about i kjsut wanna get in

and that makes me question the strength of their essays

no cause thank you 😭

[tardy crane]

also yeah ur essay gonna be hot ass applying for a major u dont care about 💀

[elfin perch]

RIGHT

i hope yall have shit essays if u did that ❤️

[eager jay]

@elfin perch reply to my comment

[elfin perch]

ruining my chances at umass FR

[eager jay]

yesd

[elfin perch]

💔

[meager fog]

5789 now

[eager jay]

5788 now

[nocturne pond]

oh I forgot ga tech allowed u to just claim spots starting this year

[summer marsh]

whens it coming out

[nocturne pond]

they’re apparently still in the committee session of their review

[elfin perch]

nice

[winged sedge]

itll be me fr😍😍😝😝

[foggy lagoon]

What does this mean

[winged sedge]

i would understand a deferral and then a rejection but if i get a straight up rejection i will be like😨😨😨

HATE ME THAG BAD

[nocturne pond]

The committee is meeting to discuss decisions

applications presented to committee, committee votes

[desert hill]

Does Georgia tech do it like they only pass borderline applicants to committees

[winged sedge]

bro theyre gonna rip me apart i added a few ECs and revised my final PE paragraph since then😭😭😭 used to be so shittt

slightly less shit now

[foggy lagoon]

Oh

[nocturne pond]

I believe so, most schools typically do that

With clear rejects or clear admits not making it to committee

For top schools I’m pretty sure there are no clear admits. At least that every admitted students was passed in committee

[lofty harness]

true lol

[verbal nacelle]

for every applicant??

bruh

[verbal nacelle]

same my gt app was trash

i think it’s good enough for gt tho my ps was crafty and my tech ecs were there

[elfin perch]

i hope my gt essay cut it

my grades are basically auto reject material

[foggy lagoon]

You have a 3.6 with high course rigor

[elfin perch]

yeah

i have a lot of Bs

and a C

[winged sedge]

i hope my anything cut it because im mid asf😭😭😭😭😭

[elfin perch]

asdfghjmkgfdl

praying for you

and me

mostly me bro sorry

[winged sedge]

ive got grades but thags it also they might destroy me for not taking apush

[elfin perch]

but ill think of u also

[winged sedge]

LMFAOOOO

hated history too much and i didnt want all 7 ap classes last yr

so i was like😇😇 fuck it

georgia tech let me in i am your neighbor and you love me

🤬🤬🤬GIVE ME A CUP OF SUGARRRRR

[crude pilot]

lmfaooooo

[winged sedge]

i want to get in somewhere because i have refrained from telling friends my college list because it would be embarrassjnggggg if i didnt get into at least SOMEthing😭😭😭

uhh i was reaching for the trolls

[crude pilot]

those 2 are the ones who got into CS for the money

factss

[crude pilot]

i hope they saw DI

gtech student career centre follows me on insta😩

[nocturne pond]

no for most applicants tho. applications that are clearly a rejection will not be voted on

[verbal nacelle]

ah

[delicate summit]

How I feel for every college I applied for:

Gl

[nocturne pond]

Lmao

[split summit]

😂

[wide hollow]

When does Georgia tech come out ?

[heady kestrel]

Late Jan

[clever marten]

same

[stone cove]

forreal

[vast kindle]

Idk why they don’t put a date already instead of ‘late Jan’

[tardy crane]

in 1 hr

[desert hill]

it better be

[stone cove]

that's for in state right

[desert hill]

didn't instate come out like a month ago

[stone cove]

oh

[tardy crane]

naw im lying 💀

trying to manifest

[stone cove]

foul

[eager jay]

is GTech RD rolling

[sonic ferry]

So does EA II vs RD make a big difference?

[verbal nacelle]

no

[verbal nacelle]

yes

EA is the merit consideration

all OOS scholarships go out EA

[solemn talon]

Does it make a big difference for admissions chances tho

[eager jay]

huge

[verbal nacelle]

they fill up a significant part of the class EA but it isn’t impossible to get in RD

[solemn talon]

I see

Very glad I did ea

[verbal nacelle]

same

i saw that the merit scholarships went out EA

and GT was my dream school earlier this year

[solemn talon]

Rd ppl don't get scholarships?

[verbal nacelle]

mb

they do

but you can’t get gold or stamps or anything like that rd

[solemn talon]

O

Rd people can't catch a break lol

[verbal nacelle]

yeah it sucks 😭

ea i’m glad i did safeties + targets too

so i at least have somewhere to go

[broken arrow]

anyone know if they alr sent out the merit scholarship invites for ea

[verbal nacelle]

i don’t think so

[broken arrow]

i keep checking my inbox lol they sent it around this time in the past

[verbal nacelle]

i don’t think you’d know this much prior to admission

[broken arrow]

realistically i probs didn’t get it but u never know 😭

[verbal nacelle]

wait fr they actually send it around this time?

[broken arrow]

yeah i’ve heard in the past they send the invitations to ea 2 students around this time

[verbal nacelle]

like friday 7pm or

[broken arrow]

no lmao i mean

like in the 13-15 range

[verbal nacelle]

ah

wait merit invitations wdym

do you have to interview?

[broken arrow]

well the stamps and gold and provost thing

[verbal nacelle]

OHH

[broken arrow]

i believe you are invited to apply

mid jan

as far as i know

[verbal nacelle]

I didn’t know you had to apply

i thought it was auto consideration

[broken arrow]

u are invited

yes auto considers

[verbal nacelle]

ah kk so it’s like “you got stamps, wanna commit or nah?”

[broken arrow]

but then they select like 250 as semis

and u compete

[verbal nacelle]

OHH that’s so cool

so wait i get to write more essays?

my gt ea essays were kinda shit

[broken arrow]

for the 20 stamps scholarships and i think there’s like a portion that gets gold and provost?

[verbal nacelle]

yup

damn dude if i get stamps/gold/provost i’d cry

[broken arrow]

wait this is like the amalgamation of doom scrolling i don’t have verification, i’ve just seen past year reddit posts ab invitations in mid-january

[verbal nacelle]

but i don’t think i’m bulky enough for that

[verbal nacelle]

yeah it could just be past year stuff

or it could come out around the weekend

[broken arrow]

historically speaking it’s around mid-january but idk atp 😭

[verbal nacelle]

i’m hoping for a minor scholarship or some finaid

[broken arrow]

oos is too expensive for me

[verbal nacelle]

i have good stats & ecs but i applied for AE so i’m taking the L

same

[broken arrow]

especially when i live in fl w good scholarships to uf (if i get in lol)

[verbal nacelle]

i can’t commit to $40k/yr

i already have a safety w/ merit scholly making it cheaper than my state school

[vague belfry]

honestly, when the universities are that neck to neck, personal preferance wins by a mile

for me its GA Tech, but don't let yourself be influenced with that

[elfin perch]

its whatever is cheaper

[clever marten]

i'd literally cry if I get in

yeah I have no clue what happened with purdue

incredibly shocked I got in OOS considering the stats a lot of people who got referred and even rejected had

higher sats, and higher gpa

[verbal nacelle]

congrats!

[clever marten]

thank you

if I don't get into GT, I'm going to Purdue

[meager fog]

same

[clever marten]

you got this

[meager fog]

cs>

[clever marten]

ongggg

my why purdue essay, I literally wrote about ai not knowing it's a whole different major

[meager fog]

u got in 😂

bro i got straight rejected

like wtf

[clever marten]

you're too good for them

[meager fog]

my essays were dogshit but still

[clever marten]

my common app one was really cool imo

[tardy crane]

bro just transfer and join us 😎

[clever marten]

join gt?

[tardy crane]

join purdue ai major

[clever marten]

cs has like concentrations on ai

[tardy crane]

ai major more based tho

[clever marten]

so I'll probably do that just because of the market demand

[clever marten]

big data scares me

[tardy crane]

coward ☹️

[meager fog]

i got good instate options such as UVA

im chllin fr

[clever marten]

dope

I got umass instate

still not off the table

number 1 in dining is very appealing

[tardy crane]

another vagina instater 😎

[meager fog]

[clever marten]

virgin

[meager fog]

virgins have W rizz tho

🙂

[meager fog]

come to uva purdue sucks

lets be real

[tardy crane]

i hate uva campus 💀 i didn't even apply

vtech or bust

[meager fog]

bruh

why does everyone hate uva campus

😐

[tardy crane]

bro its too isolated

u go to one building and its just tree for 10 miles

[meager fog]

its big not isolated

[tardy crane]

bro it has too many trees

i want BUILDING

[meager fog]

i think i have a chance at uiuc

pls

[tardy crane]

i believe 🙏

[meager fog]

Stats and CS major

loving it

[lofty harness]

If I get into ga tech I’ll go on a trip to Hawaii with a random stranger I meet in person

[lofty harness]

Nicee

[clever marten]

the things I'd do if I get in

[lofty harness]

Ughhh same lol

[verbal nacelle]

assume all of you guys are applying CS?

i’m applying AE

[meager fog]

CS and CompE yes

shouldve swtiched my major to smth else tbh

[verbal nacelle]

someone on here told me i should switch my major asap to astro

like my main major

because it was easier to get into

🗿

[open walrus]

wait gt results are coming out today?

[verbal nacelle]

nah

[open walrus]

right

[verbal nacelle]

supposedly merit scholarship invites go out soon

[open walrus]

End of January i thought

Ohh

Nice

[trim sonnet]

im CS yea

[hoary pecan]

lol me too

[elfin perch]

i feel very sad when i tell people im CM

cause they always flame me for trying to backdoor into CS

and im like bitch no smh

i should be flaming you for having that mindset

[stoic briar]

what is CM

communist manifesto?

[verbal nacelle]

i’m backdooring into AE

as an AE major

[summer marsh]

oh

computational media

sounds like sum bullshit tbh

[elfin perch]

youre so mean

fuck you

i hope your rejection wave continues well past purdue

just cause you said that

[summer marsh]

ayo

chill

[elfin perch]

yes

i said it

computational media 🥰

i love it

[vague belfry]

do yall know when gatech will be out for ea2?

[elfin perch]

prob like

around 27th

[clever marten]

it’s very good from what I’ve heard

similar to their cs program in many ways

you could if you already got accepted

but cs @ Purdue is really competitive this year so idk how much it would change anything if at all

[slim nymph]

gold stamps???

[clever marten]

scholarship

[weak karma]

wait does that mean that fin aid has to be done already to be considered?

[verbal nacelle]

yes

you had to put that you wanted to be considered for merit scholarships at the very least thru oscar

[obsidian pike]

when does gtech come otu

[broken arrow]

huh 😭

[obsidian pike]

out

ea2

[weak karma]

aw rip

i couldn't find a gtech fin aid deadline

so i thought it was late january because that's the one they have up now

that sucks

[obsidian pike]

ugh

[broken arrow]

ok wait i have no idea if i did the gtech scholarship app

oh wait i think i did this looks familiar

[weak karma]

this is outdated b/c it's 4 years ago but someone said the deadline is 1/31 but idk: https://www.reddit.com/r/gatech/comments/ajv8x3/out_of_state_scholarships/

[obsidian pike]

that's so wack

y cant they just release it like on purdue date lmao

[tardy crane]

my brother had a dream i would get into gtech

so im basically already in 😎

[hollow crag]

what if i put through the css profile? but havent filled out the oscar form

[slim nymph]

lucky

I hope my dreams come in clutch before the decision date

[tardy crane]

i'll try and dream for u bro

[verbal nacelle]

oscar is their own system

you have to fill out oscar

[verbal nacelle]

often not awarded

they still can be

keyword often

scholarships are often not awarded to anyone

[hollow crag]

oh okay i filled it out now thanks 🙂

though it still says i havent filled fafsa which i cant cuz im intl

[royal gazelle]

Do we need to submit the CSS after completing the form for international students?

[green delta]

anyone know when GAtech decisions coming out ?

[stoic briar]

End of Jan

[hollow crag]

i contacted them. any order is fine

[royal gazelle]

Cool! I had a few more questions regarding the application so, is it okay if I DM you?

[hollow crag]

yeah sure

[upbeat sequoia]

I still haven’t received the Oscar financial aid verification request

What should I do

[hollow crag]

u have to make a gt account

wait for a day

and then when u login to the gt account website it says "secure login access"

login and then in the section financial aid, it lists the requirements pending and/or submitted docs

[restive pond]

Any sort of news on when Georgia tech ea2 decisions come out/estimated date?

Besides just late jan

[verbal nacelle]

it’s always 27-30

[restive pond]

Ok thank you

[meager fog]

probs 27 since 28 and 29 are on the weekend

[split summit]

3 of my top unis are releasing decisions on these dates lol. I m in for a bumpy ride

[verbal nacelle]

sheesh

[verbal nacelle]

good luck!

[split summit]

Thanks!!

[verbal nacelle]

ngl i would withdraw all of my apps if i got in AE with stamps

[split summit]

Aerospace?

[verbal nacelle]

yep

[split summit]

Ph aerospace os a great field

Wanted to pursue it but couldnt due to employment reasons lol

[verbal nacelle]

I don’t think I’m going to get merit aid but if I do I might just commit over my hard reaches

[verbal nacelle]

fair enough

my MAIN major is astrophysics

but i still wanted to apply to GT

and love aerospace eng

[split summit]

Aerospace is amazing ngl

Always dreamed of working in nasa but dont have citizenship lol

[verbal nacelle]

OHH

okay yeah that sucks.

i’m lucky i’m domestic

[split summit]

True

Instate?

[verbal nacelle]

Nope

so still difficult and expensive to get in for me

[split summit]

Dont worry you will get in!

[verbal nacelle]

thank you but this year is def going to be tough

and i don’t have anything updated stem-wise other than a small regional award

so hoping i don’t get defered

because i won’t have a huge loci

[split summit]

Sometimes you dk what is going to happen for eg- purdue this year. Its purely based on work

Furthermore if your why gtech essay was good you most probab would get in

[clever marten]

what exactly was purdue looking for?

[split summit]

Nothing its just that in the previous years they overenrolled students. Now they dont have enough space for more students. Furthermore the presidency also changed this year. Ig because of all these factors, purdue acceptance was quite low due to yield protection

[tardy crane]

the gtech thread basically a purdue thread now 🗿

[meager fog]

GTech is better obv

GT actually good school

[austere badge]

obv

[meager fog]

I

[elfin perch]

georgia tech is one of my 30 dream schools

i love computational media

lowkey just praying for deferral

[crude pilot]

why not

no. 1

[elfin perch]

it is #1

its just that #1 is a 30-way tie

[wide hollow]

eyyyyy

[wide hollow]

is this from that reddit post 😭

[elfin perch]

no

its true

[wide hollow]

I got deffered from purdue lads

so that doesn't even count as yield protection XD

[elfin perch]

purdue overadmitted and just based on selectivity of colleges in general, they ended up with way larger classes

[split summit]

Yup and one more purdue student on discord

[elfin perch]

so theyre covering up now

[wide hollow]

nor does it count as a good chance to get accepted

[wide hollow]

dayum

i was the only one from my school to get deffered for engineering, the rest applied for Psych, arts, econ, and business analytics

they all got accepted except me

[crude pilot]

not for me tho

[winged sedge]

jus like me fr

[elfin perch]

yepp

[winged sedge]

at this point i just want to get into 1 of my schools that is not a safety

[austere tusk]

fr

[bleak cape]

When’s EA 2 coming out?

[restive pond]

Late Jan

[bleak cape]

Damn a date would be nice atp

[winged sedge]

at this point i dont even want to see 😭

[bleak cape]

Honestly same

[glossy aspen]

same

now im doubting life

and have no confidence for gatech lmao

[clever marten]

every school looks for different stuff dw

[glossy aspen]

yea

college apps so unpredictable

[winged sedge]

[upbeat pond]

any news about the stamps?

[verbal nacelle]

no

anyone else?

i asked my gatech friend about it

will see what he says

[meager fog]

fr

[vague belfry]

last time they announced it just a day early

my bet is that its 28th based on the fact its always a saturday

[restive pond]

When did it come out last year?

[restive pond]

I was thinking that too but then ea 1 came earlier than they said

They said mid December came at the beginning

So I’m thinking next sat could be an option too

But idk

[winged sedge]

that is foul 💀

[pale marsh]

some places dont even announce it 😭

just like

okay decisions are out now go check!

[winged sedge]

LOLL??

[pale marsh]

then theres purdue who gives decisions 2 days earlier

[green delta]

then there is Cambridge which told me the last date to register for BMAT is 30th September on the website and then sent me this:

[bleak cape]

Not me

[clever marten]

fr fr

[bleak cape]

True! I'm happy

[devout cobalt]

is oss cs more selective than oos ece?

[bleak cape]

I applied to 13. wbu?

[clever marten]

9 schools + 3 UCs

[bleak cape]

At Purdue?

[clever marten]

nope, not worth it for CS students according to current Purdue CS students

[bleak cape]

Yeah I got in

[clever marten]

same lol

but it just makes life harder for no reason

[bleak cape]

Not much, the big thing is honestly the dorms

So if you get lucky and get a good dorm or live off campus you don't miss anything

[clever marten]

and if they under admitted this year, hopefully freshmen dorms won’t be too bad

[bleak cape]

Btw, Honors College won't get you an honors degree. The honors degree is what employers look for, HC won't help

[clever marten]

that’s based on classes

[bleak cape]

Yeah, hopefully. Better but still not great would be my opinion

Yes

[clever marten]

yeah, not associated with the honors college

[bleak cape]

Yeah, you'll get invited after you take a semester of classes and get a certain GPA

Yes

Yeah, even in other non-CS related majors there's honors

[pale marsh]

thatd they drop from

ranking

whatd it drop from

probably shitty management

doubt a stabbing lowers ur ranking

[desert hill]

didn't they heavily overenroll

which probably led to worse teaching and housing

[crude kernel]

Are decisions out by any chance?

[meager fog]

no

[crude kernel]

okok ty

[crude pilot]

dont got that either

[upbeat pond]

any stamps…

[verbal nacelle]

nope :(

[devout cobalt]

what's that?

[pale marsh]

JUST COME OUT ALREADY GEORGIA TECH

[tardy crane]

u cant just force people to come out bro

thats fucked up

[elfin perch]

https://media.tenor.com/gHFbL7of1BAAAAAM/fat-cat-row-boat.gif

georgia be like

[pale marsh]

YEAH THIS IS WHY YOU STILL HAVE 23 LEFT TO GO

[bleak cape]

goddamn

[bleak cape]

Fr fr, just a date to expect would be nice

But they divide up the apps between GA and non-GA residents so IDK what takes them so long

Since they've already released a sizeable portion of results

[pale marsh]

eh sizable

oos is like 6 times instate

[bleak cape]

But most state schools spend more time considering in-state students because they have obligations to their residents

[gritty zenith]

rutgers releasing out of state decisions before instate decisions 💀

goofy ahh school

[verbal nacelle]

Ok

So, per my friend who’s a junior at GT, registration is backed up right now

[gritty zenith]

what

[tardy crane]

wtf 💀

[upbeat pond]

what do that mean..

[verbal nacelle]

per his words:

I asked around and didn't really get a solid answer
But I wouldn't freak out, gatech is having a meltdown atm, registration is fucked and shit like that so they're probably behind on stamps scholars

🤷‍♀️

might be next week

[upbeat pond]

[gritty zenith]

they procrastinators too?

🤝

[restive sapphire]

Of course

[desert hill]

is georgia tech also gonna fuck us over like purdue lol

[summer marsh]

yea

cuz gt is better

[pale marsh]

georgia tech will probably be the same as any other year

[radiant flower]

Anyone know if early action II stuff has had some updates/indications?

[pale marsh]

they didnt have that management change like purdue

[radiant flower]

Stressin

[edgy sun]

whats the expected date? the 29th??

[rotund wren]

any ea2 results yet or nah

[open walrus]

ㅜ모

nah

[obsidian pike]

not for me

[verbal nacelle]

no

27-31

likely last week of jan

[stoic briar]

do they ever accept non 4.0s

for CS

[pale marsh]

yeah

[stoic briar]

hopefully the usaco plat will overlook my 3.75 UW 😭 😭

[verbal nacelle]

bro 💀

my friend got in with a 3.8

ur good

[meager fog]

is A- considered 3.7 or 4.0

oh okay A- is 4.0

nice

GGs

[verbal nacelle]

depends on grading system

[verbal nacelle]

ah kk

[meager fog]

4.0 GPA about to go brrrr

[verbal nacelle]

phew 3.3 min gpa

4.0 gpa maybe going brrrr

[stoic briar]

for CS?

[verbal nacelle]

yup

[stoic briar]

legacy? in state?

[verbal nacelle]

in state unfortunately

[stoic briar]

yeah that makes sense

[verbal nacelle]

he didn’t get any merit money either

[stoic briar]

using their calculation I get a 3.8

since I got 1 B in chemistry

[elfin perch]

does the math and science gpa account for

like

cs/tech courses?

[stoic briar]

no

if it did then

I'd have a 3.87

[elfin perch]

oh fuck

[austere tusk]

damn i hv a 3.6

[elfin perch]

i have a 3.64

rip 🤙

[stoic briar]

i took 3 math and 3 science courses

one science course was weighted a bit more

[austere tusk]

based on my american transcript

[stoic briar]

and got 1 B

in that course

[austere tusk]

3.8 with my nigerian one

submitted my other transcript but it was unofficial

so who knows

[stoic briar]

nigeria 💀

[elfin perch]

why is that

funny

[verbal nacelle]

i’m happy i don’t have to do recalculations

[elfin perch]

fr

[austere tusk]

unfortunately

[austere tusk]

its all good tbh

[stoic briar]

but makes sense

if u moved

[austere tusk]

fair enough

[stoic briar]

but when you mentioned nigeria

thats the first thing I thought of

[elfin perch]

s1ns bouta make it big for nigeria

[stoic briar]

ong

[austere tusk]

aint suprised

[elfin perch]

usnews gonna rank it in the t10 countries

[stoic briar]

hopefully

[austere tusk]

scholarships and good grades

[stoic briar]

my GPA is shit

[elfin perch]

i think he meant rich like texture-wise

[stoic briar]

cause i got covid depression

[elfin perch]

idkwhat that means

[elfin perch]

oh god

a 3.75 is not bad

stfu

[austere tusk]

same but thats cuz of recalculations

[stoic briar]

for community college sure

[rotund wren]

well for super top schools it might be

[verbal nacelle]

covid depression is real

[austere tusk]

3.9 weighted

: (

[verbal nacelle]

my grades flatlined

[elfin perch]

yeah true

3.75 is kinda ass

[rotund wren]

yeah

[stoic briar]

and also I can always transfer to CS+ math

[rotund wren]

yeah

[elfin perch]

it was not worth taking

[stoic briar]

the funny thing is

[austere tusk]

mine r bad

[stoic briar]

i will never take cybersecurity or any hacking course

[rotund wren]

i’d wanna do cs+math i think if i went to a school that had it like yale mit brown etc

[stoic briar]

because one day someone will piss me off

I hack them

then get arrested

[elfin perch]

my first semester was this basically

ah you have yearly grades

damn

[austere tusk]

ye

[stoic briar]

so I have to restrain myself from learning

which sucks

[austere tusk]

but they submit semester 1 for mid year

[stoic briar]

i write hacks for videogames tho

[elfin perch]

oh ok

[austere tusk]

[elfin perch]

[elfin perch]

[austere tusk]

sheesh

[elfin perch]

probably doesnt make a difference though

[austere tusk]

im hoping they look at my gpa in context

[elfin perch]

[austere tusk]

[austere tusk]

my parents just hate me for it

[elfin perch]

[elfin perch]

💀 aw im sorry

[austere tusk]

felt

[verbal nacelle]

A+ = 5.25 max weighted
A = 5.0 max weighted

[elfin perch]

OH

i see

[verbal nacelle]

yup

[elfin perch]

idt that matter for coleg

[rotund wren]

a fellow salutatorian spotted

[stoic briar]

my school stopped doing ranked after multiple kids committed suicide

[elfin perch]

the only care about UW

[rotund wren]

wtf

[austere tusk]

tf

[verbal nacelle]

the difference between val and i in weighted gpa is 0.03

[rotund wren]

what typa school you go to

[stoic briar]

we get a suicide every two years

[elfin perch]

lmfao

[rotund wren]

lmaoo

[elfin perch]

damn

[rotund wren]

mine was like

0.1

[austere tusk]

sheesh

[stoic briar]

one hasnt happened since 2 years ago 💀 whos next

[verbal nacelle]

it was 0.0002 last year

[rotund wren]

damn

[austere tusk]

our val only took one ap course and stacked A

[verbal nacelle]

but he took easier classes with higher weight

[rotund wren]

rly even grades

[verbal nacelle]

🤷‍♀️

[austere tusk]

A+'s in honors and DE

[stoic briar]

my school is very competitive

[verbal nacelle]

that’s crazy

[stoic briar]

its like 2/3s asian no joke

[verbal nacelle]

idk i had 13 DE 4 A and IBDP (7 IB classes per yr, we have a TOK class)

[austere tusk]

our weighting sucks

[verbal nacelle]

so 13 + 4 + 7 + 7 ish “college” classes

[austere tusk]

shi i jus got 7 aps and like 4 honors

[rotund wren]

i had 9 aps

[austere tusk]

had 2 years to cook tho so maybe couldve been better

[rotund wren]

i think

[verbal nacelle]

nah that’s crazy good esp since you moved

[austere tusk]

wasnt in america so took max i could

[rotund wren]

^

cracked

[austere tusk]

ty

[rotund wren]

i think in my school unless you move in or something

it’s quite rare to take more than 10

cuz ppl always take 0 freshman year and typically 0-1 sophomore year

[foggy lagoon]

My school doesn’t even have regular courses dawg

[verbal nacelle]

usually “maximum” at my school is 1 freshman, 1 sophomore, 3 junior, 4 senior

[foggy lagoon]

Everything is honors/accelerated/AP

[rotund wren]

that’s exactly what i did but

swap junior and senior

[verbal nacelle]

but there’s a ton of reqs for regular classes here

that you can’t avoid

[rotund wren]

sadge

my school good

i’m glad i don’t have to take 20 APs or sweat my ass off and study for 10 hours a day

[verbal nacelle]

i did 1 ap freshman 2 DE, 2 ap sophomore 2 DE, 7 IB junior 4 DE, 7 IB senior 1 AP 5 DE

[rotund wren]

to be good relative to my school

[verbal nacelle]

me too

[rotund wren]

going to a sweaty school is j bad

[verbal nacelle]

if i cut my course rigor in half i’d be third

[rotund wren]

damn

loaded up

[verbal nacelle]

1st took a bunch of random english classes at a cc

and got leverage on me that way

[rotund wren]

31 college classes 😳

[verbal nacelle]

yea

gpa carries

[rotund wren]

i’m sure you will do just fine with 2nd place lmao

idt anyone rly cares

[verbal nacelle]

makes up for test scores

yeah

[rotund wren]

anyone as in colleges

[verbal nacelle]

i’m just worried bc i might have a b+ in art this sem

[rotund wren]

like val is cool but

sal is good enough

[verbal nacelle]

not that this rlly matters but i’ve maintained a 4.0 so

[rotund wren]

i never thought i had a chance at sal so i didn’t rly grind hs that hard tbh

[verbal nacelle]

i didn’t start grinding until junior year

[rotund wren]

i was extremely surprised when the girl i expected to beat me by like a whole ass point

had j 0.1 higher

[verbal nacelle]

sheesh

[rotund wren]

which is like

if i got 95->99 in one class

thruout hs

woulda been val

4 points

but it’s all good

[verbal nacelle]

yeah ur chillin

[rotund wren]

i j can’t wait till like

everything

late jan for uiuc/gtech

and late march for ivies

[austere tusk]

in terms of test scores and aps (and imo natural ability) im t10 at my school

but cuz of gpa weighting and some stuff im like 200/600 rank wise

[rotund wren]

hm i actually wonder in my grade

what rank am i test score wise

me and 2 other friends got 36/1570+

idk anyone else who did

mb the val did i’m not sure

[austere tusk]

its nothing official but i share classes with pre much all the smart ppl and only seen one thats higher than mine

[austere tusk]

y do ppl take act as well?

[rotund wren]

usually you take one of them

me and one friend took ACT

another took SAT

[austere tusk]

o i thought u meant u took both

[rotund wren]

nah

that’d be sweaty

[austere tusk]

i took sat

[rotund wren]

doesn’t add anything

to ur app imo

[austere tusk]

never understood it

[rotund wren]

ig it shows u can pop off on 2 standardized tests but idk

[austere tusk]

cuz if u get 2 perfect scores then like

idk

i got a 1500

which is like

good enough ig

[rotund wren]

1500 is great bro

[austere tusk]

i choked so hard on the reading

[rotund wren]

academics will not be like

a rejecting factor

once u crack 1500

[austere tusk]

tru

jus tryn make up for class rank

[rotund wren]

yeah

[stoic briar]

did you guys make a GT account

[rotund wren]

yeah

[stoic briar]

its outside of the Admission Portal

whoops

[rotund wren]

i think i remember doing that?

[austere tusk]

i did but this shit dont work right ngl

[rotund wren]

idt you needa do that tho

if i get in i can worry abt their other portals lmao

[austere tusk]

fr

[rotund wren]

wait s1ns r u doing cs

[elfin perch]

ye i think thas wha they told me

[austere tusk]

ye

like pre much hlf the server

atp

[heady kestrel]

I would be rank 1 but my school doesn’t officially rank 😭

[verbal nacelle]

half = cs
other half = ae

i think ae actually isn’t as competitive as cs

even tho it’s their #1 major

[clever marten]

when I talked to an AO, she said that was only for graduates

she was definitely trippin

[broken arrow]

how much weight does gtech put on ecs bc that is absolutely the weakest part of my application

[verbal nacelle]

they value course rigor the most

[broken arrow]

oh good

alr

[verbal nacelle]

from the AMA it seems like gpa > test score > ecs

[broken arrow]

🤞

they recalculate gpa tho right? or no

[verbal nacelle]

i think so maybe

they don’t use A- and A+

[broken arrow]

bc my school weights non honors as 4.0 and i took spanish in middle school 😭 messed up my ranking

[verbal nacelle]

i’m not sure how much they look at ranking tbh

[broken arrow]

yeah it’s diff everywhere

my school ranks us out of the entire school district it’s weird

[verbal nacelle]

that is really weird

but hey at least you get to put bigger class size

[broken arrow]

true

[lofty harness]

all i understood from this conversation is that there are too many academically qualified students so i will get rejected

[winged sedge]

MEEE

[austere tusk]

Fr

[verbal nacelle]

bros saying this out here with the hikaru pfp

[lofty harness]

😭

[lofty harness]

[austere tusk]

[tardy crane]

💀

average Ghanaian student

[austere tusk]

be like that

[upbeat pond]

[meager fog]

My dad doesn’t put pressure on me at all

I just do it for myself

Also the college you go to doesn’t matter that much in the big picture

[verbal nacelle]

if you can succeed at an ivy you can succeed at just about everywhere else

i totally forgot the saying but it’s something like if you’re going to succeed, you’re going to succeed anywhere

The portal or Oscar

[verbal nacelle]
