Georgia Tech (2022-2023)

[finite frost]

for whenever this comes out

[rough galleon]

you too

[tardy patio]

anyone just get an email about financial aid?

[verbal nacelle]

uhhh

no

what does it say

[tardy patio]

idt it means anything

its just asking for more documents

[verbal nacelle]

which documents?

[finite frost]

ahh i already withdrew, if yall get in u will be 15-20 mins away from me 😼

[tardy patio]

this thing

oh damn

i prolly wont get any aid tho

is it required

[verbal nacelle]

you still need to do oscar

[kindred kernel]

is this a likley??

jokes

[verbal nacelle]

yes just do it

[tardy patio]

ok

[restive sapphire]

Everyone has to do it I think

[crude pilot]

i didnt lol

[tardy patio]

i just did it

it takes 5 mins

[foggy lagoon]

Do I have to

Never got an email about it tho

[tardy patio]

People are saying to do it

if u want any aid i think u have to

[tardy crane]

bruh did u guys have to create a gtech email at any point

when doing the finaid stuff

[wide nebula]

No

[crimson wolf]

I think they sent some gtech passport and that was used

[tardy crane]

wack

one of my friends is saying that they have to make one for a fafsa eligibility form or somethin

cause it wont accept their email

[wide nebula]

Maybe their email is [email protected]

[tardy crane]

🗿

[lethal totem]

Same thing is happening with me! What did your friend end up doing?

[tardy crane]

they don't know what to do 🗿

i came to ask if anyone knew

i just told them to try emailing

[lethal totem]

Bruh I’m in the same boat

[lethal totem]

Can you elaborate on this?

[crimson wolf]

you need a gtech account to log into the oscar thing

the gtech account is different from your application account

in the oscar thing you can see what financial aid requirements have been recieved and other stuff

[lethal totem]

Yeah but how do I find my gtech account? I can log into passport and everything but I don’t have a gtech email address which is required for verification.

[crimson wolf]

verification of what?

[lethal totem]

Verification of FAFSA

[crimson wolf]

I dont remember needing this so idk. I submitted my fafsa multiple months ago

[wide nebula]

I didn’t need it

[lethal totem]

Did they ask you to verify your fafsa?

[crimson wolf]

iirc some schools ask a certain percentage of people to verify their fafsa

[lethal totem]

Yeah guess I’ll just email them about it.

[verbal nacelle]

wtf

that’s a whole likely

they’re GIVING YOU a gatech email

nope

well maybe

i’m not entirely sure

maybe it’s for merit scholarship receivers

/ semis

it would make sense

“oh no”

they’re not test score centric

a 1490 does not mean you can’t receive a merit scholarship

GA university system requires

it’s not gatech

it’s a statewide thing

yup

[mystic dragon]

Yeah. Kinda hoping they've got some kind of scoring system that takes into account gpa,ec,sat,etc... For merit. Only 325 semi. I think. How many ea & ea2?

[meager fog]

they dont give emails

[tardy crane]

aight thanks bro

[verbal nacelle]

yea since they’re need aware that def looks like a likely

idk why they would be rolling that out now tho

[meager fog]

nah i think its for verification

or is this different

[verbal nacelle]

verification of what

[meager fog]

FAFSA verification

some people get selected

and have to send tax return docs

[verbal nacelle]

oh is this to make sure that you’re not misreporting

since gatech doesn’t require css

[meager fog]

could be

[verbal nacelle]

weird

okay

does everyone have the warning

[meager fog]

yeah

[verbal nacelle]

kk

[tardy crane]

y'all are doing some crazy portal astrology 😭

also ur name color confused me icyy

i thought u were like a college freshman and i was like wtf are they doing in here 💀

[verbal nacelle]

🌝

it would be funny if

[restive sapphire]

Yeah that role color fr

[verbal nacelle]

wow that’s crazy

manifesting

as a college freshman at gatech,

[tepid gorge]

yea that usually shows up, me and my friends tried messing with that menu to see our decision early last month (I DO NOT ADVISE YOU TO DO THIS!!). couldnt find anything except two seperate profiles - one for dual enrollment and one for undrgrad applicant

[tardy crane]

bro y'all need to chill 😭

just wait 4 days and you'll see ur rejection

[wide nebula]

Frfr

[tepid gorge]

true

[winged sedge]

so real 4 this🙏🙏

[tepid gorge]

ive tried my best and even asked kids from previous years, and i came up short. but I DO NOT ADVISE YOU TO TRY ANY PORTAL TRICKS.

[winged sedge]

fr one wrong click and u withdraw ur app☠️☠️

[tepid gorge]

there's a whole a2c thread where they banned the topic lol

[lethal totem]

Thank you so much for this! Finally got in now.

[tepid gorge]

yea exactly lol

couple kids from class of 22 said it didnt work for them

[vernal summit]

rip, that would be sooo bad

[lethal totem]

Lol

[verbal nacelle]

no

[lethal totem]

Y’all my dad thinks I’ll get in just because I’m a girl 💀

[verbal nacelle]

YES

like wtf

BRO??? JUST BECAUSE IM FEMALE DOESNT MEAN IM GUARATNEED TO GET INTO A TECH SCHOOL??

[tepid gorge]

you have a slightly better shot i think

not much tho

[verbal nacelle]

it’s so misogynistic to say “you’re going to get into a stem school just because you’re a girl”

💀

[lethal totem]

I know like I want to get in on my own merit not because of my gender

[verbal nacelle]

you won’t get in just because you’re a girl

that’s not how it works

[tepid gorge]

its not an auto-admit but if you look at the stats, it is "easier" to get in as a girl but its a small difference

regardless you need to have good stats to get in

[verbal nacelle]

the overall acceptance rates are still massively low, especially to COE and COC

[tardy crane]

cock 💀

[lethal totem]

Tell my parents that

[verbal nacelle]

ponky 💀

[verbal nacelle]

my parents don’t think that but i’ve literally been told that before online and it’s so discounting

just because they admit more females doesn’t mean that they’re unqualified

[restive sapphire]

Dw about what other people say. You’ve worked hard throughout all four years of high school just like any other competitive Gatech applicant and I’m sure all of our hard work will be rewarded no matter how college decisions wind up :)

[tardy crane]

bro u literally wrote COC(k) what did u expect 💀

[verbal nacelle]

college of computing

CoC

[tardy crane]

college of computing k

CoCk

[verbal nacelle]

true

I have extensive CoCk (college of computing knowledge)

[restive sapphire]

College of computing kfc

[tardy crane]

so true

[wide nebula]

Cockfc?

[tepid gorge]

yep thats right. saying "males have a harder chance at getting accepted to ga tech" does not nessecarily mean females have it easier. (and vice versa) both have to be equally qualified

[restive sapphire]

Sure

[tardy crane]

cock fc barcelona

[meager fog]

well girls tend to diversify with what majors they apply to

thats why

being a girl doesnt mean you get accepted

[verbal nacelle]

@lethal totem what major did you apply for?

[lethal totem]

CS! What about you?

[verbal nacelle]

i’m female and i still applied AE 💀

[meager fog]

for instance girls will try to apply to computational media or smth

[verbal nacelle]

aerospace engineering

[tepid gorge]

ayy AE majors>>

[restive sapphire]

I applied meche first choice ae second

[meager fog]

thats not a problem

[tardy crane]

i applied CS 😎

[verbal nacelle]

massively based

[tepid gorge]

nice mechanical is more broad so you can explore many diff fields in engineering

[lethal totem]

Damn I’m so envious of aerospace engineering majors like you got to be hella smart to do that.

[verbal nacelle]

not entirely, just really passionate afaik

it’s a lot of math

[meager fog]

they probably also want more girls accepted since there is like a 2:1 ratio between guy and girl applicants

[tepid gorge]

not too sure about that

[verbal nacelle]

they try to balance it 50:50

[tepid gorge]

lot of physics but anyone can do it if you go the time and energy

[tepid gorge]

yep that is also true

[foggy lagoon]

What’s coc

[meager fog]

to say being a girl is an advantage is literally false

UVA has a notable majority of women

[verbal nacelle]

CoCk (College of Computing knowledge)

[verbal nacelle]

that’s true

we get advantage because less of us apply

[foggy lagoon]

So true

[verbal nacelle]

i mean i’d hope i get an advantage applying to a field 82% male 🤷‍♀️

[tepid gorge]

exactly the case at my school

[foggy lagoon]

Does applying EA to GT actually give any advantage

[meager fog]

CoC (Clash of Clans 🤣 )

[verbal nacelle]

merit aid

also yes

higher admit rates

[lethal totem]

Do they actually give merit aid to oos

[tepid gorge]

You automatically get considered for merit based scholarships and get your decisions earlier

[verbal nacelle]

yep

[marble hemlock]

i wish college admissions was based off coc

[tepid gorge]

other than that idk

[foggy lagoon]

I meant in terms of admit rate

[verbal nacelle]

they take most oos EA

[meager fog]

fr ez acceptance

[marble hemlock]

or like

[tepid gorge]

yea its prolly a bit higher

[marble hemlock]

CR skill level

[foggy lagoon]

Ah gotcha

[lethal totem]

Yeah my cousin told me about her friend who’s applying to Georgia tech rd and thinks she’ll get in bc she’s legacy (she’s oos). Thought that was a little arrogant.

[verbal nacelle]

public schools don’t have legacy

[meager fog]

yeah

[foggy lagoon]

Lol I don’t think imma get in and I’m EA

[meager fog]

i mean clash royale technically strategy game

[marble hemlock]

kinda

until someone whips out a card u havent even heard of

lol

like what is "monk"

[tepid gorge]

lmao ga tech definitely does (at least for instate). if ur sibling goes to ga tech, then you'll get at least a conditional acceptance (granted that you dont have like a 3.0 gpa and have decent stats)

based on what ive seen ^

with a lot of friends and family

[verbal nacelle]

oos though (ik they favor in state)

[tepid gorge]

they could, you never know

[lethal totem]

:O my brother wants to go to gtech and we’ll move there if I get in

[verbal nacelle]

very cool

[tepid gorge]

dope

[lethal totem]

Going to use this as a bargaining chip now, I have ultimate power.

[meager fog]

idk bro

[winged sedge]

i added like 2 ECs i forgor abt because they were so long ago after EA schools😭😭😭

[verbal nacelle]

staring blankly at my math ee rn

[winged sedge]

i be like yea uh garden

[verbal nacelle]

lmao

[winged sedge]

i think my everything is a little too mid to be accepted if yk what im sayin

[verbal nacelle]

nah

[winged sedge]

nothing crazed or special

[verbal nacelle]

same for me tho

just trust the process

[winged sedge]

unless they want an art girlypop mixed in the cs bro mix😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

[verbal nacelle]

trust me they do

💀

also btw i’ve heard some coc areas absolutely reek

they need that girlypop scent

[eternal grotto]

number one priority for me is having a moderately decent female to male ratio 🤩

which is sort of impossible but its ok

[verbal nacelle]

they try to make it 50/50

:>

but ofc that’s going to be a bit varied per major

overall it’s about 50:50 though

[winged sedge]

the thing is om not like ok i do art but im not like overly artsy so its like😭😭😭

i do not like entering art competitions hahahah

[verbal nacelle]

same

i’m an artsy girlypop too

[winged sedge]

also the ap art classes are actually so lame its really boring drawing the same stuff THE ENTIRE YEAR

[verbal nacelle]

we are twinsies (i do IB visual arts HL)

[winged sedge]

so they score me like shit hahahhaha despite my technical skill

but ohhh its not cohesive🙄🙄 shut up if i were applying to art school they want to see experimentation

my twinnn 🫶

[eternal grotto]

yess, but some cs classes are still so male dominated 🥲

[verbal nacelle]

very true

[winged sedge]

also ughhh i changed the last like 2-3 sentences of my PE after EA and it sounded so robotic and stupid before i changed it 😭 waahaha

lowk fell apart at the end

just ignore that part... fr... ignore it

[restive sapphire]

Yeah 🥰

[restive sapphire]

Yep! I’m really interested in the intersection of design, control systems, and AI for aerospace applications so meche with aero seems like a pretty good idea as I go into Uni :D

[polar shell]

yea they def consider ur relations

• that legacy conditional transfer pathway is solid

[clever marten]

The email is just the passport username + the gatech domain. It’s automatically registered when you sign up for financial aid via Oscar

my dumbass signed up for folio through Georgia Tech 💀

[verbal nacelle]

why…

um

i would say probably not

but submit anyway

[winged imp]

id:customize you may want new roles

bc you have junior rn

[strange forge]

Isn’t EA2 just the OOS people?

So I’d think you’d be eligible for all the out of state scholarships, no?

Which scholarships do you have in mind? Because some don’t factor in financial need anyway

O shit

Shit shit shit you have to apply for those 😢

I didn’t think I had to do that bc I wasn’t applying for aid…

Didn’t realize provost and stamps were part of that

Guess I’ll do that application tonight and hope for the best

[verbal nacelle]

no

you need to apply for aid tho

[strange forge]

Didn’t do that

[verbal nacelle]

RIP

finaid processes merit

[strange forge]

Fucking stupid because those scholarships don’t even require financial need

[verbal nacelle]

they process all the scholarships together

merit and non merit

[strange forge]

God damn

Not like I was gonna get one anyway but yknow

Waittt

For example

That doesn’t say anything about the gt app or fafsa

[verbal nacelle]

if you’re not registered through oscar you’re not getting scholarships

it’s literally called the scholarship application

and it’s in their own portal

it qualifies you for coops, work study, finaid, and scholarships

just submit fafsa

and fill out the form

you can remove fafsa once you submit it

[strange forge]

Probably too late though

[verbal nacelle]

meh

[strange forge]

And you have to do CSS too?

[verbal nacelle]

no

[strange forge]

Ok

It’s just weird af because the language on the individual scholarship pages doesn’t mention this stupid application

It says no additional information

[clever marten]

it was with a personal email so 🤷‍♂️

might try deleting the account

is it really that much of an issue?

[summer marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/four-gif-8116549

[royal gazelle]

No because you just followed the links available on their website.

Just chill

[clever marten]

Rick Clark is so fun

[fervent wraith]

did anyone get this email

i thought i submitted everything

L

[mystic junco]

i just got that too

it’s literally never ending

[tardy patio]

theres a really quick form u need to fill out

it takes 3 mins tops

[verbal nacelle]

did you log into oscar

and submit the finaid and scholarships form

if you silly mfs don’t you can’t get qualified for finaid or scholarships

including stamps

that’s really funny that your discord name is bagel now lmao

[trim sonnet]

did u submit the CSS?

@fervent wraith @mystic junco

[crimson wolf]

based on admission stats its easier to get into certain programs of certain schools based on gender, but gtech doesnt seem to have any gender bias

the ratio is literally 60% male and 40% female

[fervent wraith]

ohh okie

[fervent wraith]

yeah im pretty sure

[fervent wraith]

yessuh

no.

[verbal nacelle]

which form was it

[opal swan]

this was posted yesterday

[crimson wolf]

damn it got worse I was thinking abt a previous years stats

well actually it still seems to be pretty close to that 2:1 ratio

but only a marginal increase

[winged sedge]

oh fr they posted this yesterday???

where

[crimson wolf]

probably yeah

[crimson wolf]

https://irp.gatech.edu/common-data-set

[winged sedge]

2021-22

[crimson wolf]

[verbal nacelle]

likely not for us

lol

[fervent wraith]

i figured it out lmao

was a citizenship issue

[nocturne pond]

You don’t need to complete the OSCAR for admissions right? You just won’t get financial aid?

[polar shell]

i just filled out the financial aid stuff today 💀

so i dont think so but idk

[royal gazelle]

No you don't.

[nocturne pond]

thx

[opal swan]

referring to somebody in the channel posting it the day before, not tech

[winged sedge]

ohhhh

[verbal nacelle]

are you guys able to log into gt passport?

its asking me for emergency contacts

im thinking i def got rejected tho since im not getting any emails

[verbal nacelle]

if you want to be considered for scholarships you should

[royal gazelle]

Yes

[tepid gorge]

also ga tech admits to the school not by major so there isnt any gender bias yea

[tepid gorge]

This was the 2021-2022 data set but it gives an idea of how many students apply each year. Based on this data, 15.2% of men who applied where admitted and 24.6% of women who applied were admitted. There are a lot of this factors that go into admissions so this isn't definitive proof of any "gender bias" but it does highlight more competition among men with the 30k applications.

[eternal grotto]

if you already submitted all ur financial forms and css then i don’t think they’d need to email u

[foggy lagoon]

I didn’t submit css to them and I still didn’t get an email

[wide nebula]

+1

[verbal nacelle]

ah kk

yeah i submitted them all early af

[green delta]

bruh why are gatech doing this to me, their insta stories of the clubs anol really makes me want to go there , now it is gonna hurt even more if i get rejected

[wide nebula]

Maybe stop looking at their instagram

[green delta]

smart

[winged imp]

Which is exactly why we won’t be following that advice

[lusty holly]

Bro

I’m getting rejected

From cs

[elfin perch]

Same but cm

[lusty holly]

They look at sat which sucks

[crude pilot]

bro they look at sat but thats not the deciding factor at all

there's so much more to it

lets keep some hope

good luck

[lusty holly]

My essay was questionable

[royal gazelle]

You'll be fine so chill!

[lusty holly]

How tho

So many good applications

What time they releasing decisions

[carmine gale]

4pm pst

[crude pilot]

5:30a.m. IST💀

[crude pilot]

dw abt that

the topic was weird

so everyone's essays are questionable

lol

[lusty holly]

Yeah ig

Hopefully accept prob reject or defer

[crude pilot]

defer is fine w me

cuz now ik how to write essays

finally

😭

[austere tusk]

Anyone wanna see my essay idk if it’s good lmao

[lusty holly]

Sure

Dm lol

[crude pilot]

sure dm

i'll send mine as well

i need someone to humble me more than i already am for GT😭

[lusty holly]

I’ll read urs too if u want

[crude pilot]

sure

dm me

[lusty holly]

I did

U gotta chance settings

[opal swan]

decisions should not be decided on competition between males and competition between females individually if that’s what you are implying with your last sentence

[tepid gorge]

no but there are likely to be more males applying for the same major with similar ecs and stats which means more competition

deleted some of the last part, hopefully that makes it more clear

[finite frost]

[austere badge]

it wasnt i mean

like the why major and why us essay are the most normal essay topics possible

[austere tusk]

Bet ty

[crude pilot]

yeah but if u combine them

u arent giving us enough space to do any very well

but fuck it

i think common app essay will carry

[vernal summit]

No, it was delayed to Jan 31st

[tardy crane]

probably because more men apply

[verbal nacelle]

over 2x the amount of men apply

[tardy crane]

yeah so am not surprised that the acceptance rate is lower

I feel like if u scaled men and women somehow they would have pretty similar rates of acceptance

[verbal nacelle]

and it’s not like a “woman is taking your spot” 🥴

[tardy crane]

gtech ain’t discriminating based on gender

mhm mhm

[verbal nacelle]

if two equally qualified applicants apply to COE—one is an asian male, the other is a female, if they had to choose they’re going to choose the woman to create the gender balance and equal representation

is the asian male is simply better he’ll get in

🤷‍♀️

[tepid gorge]

which means women have a slight advantage

[tardy crane]

only if people are completely equal

which is impossible

there will always be something better or worse than another candidate

the advantage is nullified

[lofty harness]

like cant u just say that u "identify" as a female 💀 even if ur a male on the app

and that already boosts your chances by 9% ☠️

[verbal nacelle]

i wouldn’t do that

[lofty harness]

Yeah

but technically others can right?

which is just outright unfair and stupid lol

this is why i wish they had a better way to prevent such things

[verbal nacelle]

trust me, if you do that you’re low af

and they will find out :)

[gray thunder]

Percentage doesn't change when you scale?

[verbal nacelle]

especially when you change your registration midyear because you don’t feel comfortable identifying as a female anymore and they find out what you did was a stunt

[verbal nacelle]

it doesn’t change

just less qualified women apply

[austere tusk]

Tru 😂 plus recommendations

[foggy lagoon]

Goddamn who cares enough to lie about their gender to get into one school

No school is worth that

[austere tusk]

I’d imagine sth would give it away

[verbal nacelle]

unless you somehow get your references to change your pronouns it won’t help

[austere tusk]

Ye

[verbal nacelle]

2/3 of my recs say “young woman” or “lady” or “she”

all say she

also gl getting that past your counselor too

it doesn’t happen

same way people freak out at the fact that “someone might be identifying as an URM! they’ll take my spot” nobody does that

and people who do that get caught

[austere tusk]

Urm?

[verbal nacelle]

under represented minority

[austere tusk]

Oh

Lmfao

That’s weird asl

[verbal nacelle]

fr

people just need to be themselves

like thats the best shot you’ll ever get at attending a school

be original and be your best self

[austere tusk]

It doesn’t change things as much as they think

Imo

I’d say ur life experience(ie common app essay and why major). Constribute more to ur perceived added value in terms of diversity

Cuz they don’t just want a bunch of different ppl on campus they want ppl who will do diff things and impact in different ways

[verbal nacelle]

yup

[tepid gorge]

if there are two candidates who are comparable, there aren't going to be exactly identical. Still, but there will still prolly choose the girl in some of the cases under the guise of "equal representation / gender balance / encouraging more women to STEM"

[lofty harness]

yeah

lol

[tepid gorge]

👀 i mean...you never know until you try it

[lofty harness]

💀💀

[lofty harness]

you can

you can just be like "i identify differently now"

or smth

and they'll believe u

Idk tho

im not doing this tho

lol

[tepid gorge]

overthinking a bit too much

[tepid gorge]

[winged imp]

Y’all are overthinking this entire thing it’s not even just that

[winged imp]

Like this would only matter if somehow these two candidates were competing for the last spot and the chances of that happening are low

There are hundreds if not thousands of slots per class

[tepid gorge]

yea it doesnt rlly matter, at the end of the day theres basically no gender bias anyway

[lusty holly]

y'll does sat matter heavily im screwed if it does

[verbal nacelle]

if you’re 50% or above the avg 1360-1540 you’re good

[lusty holly]

😭

i heard they care alot about math score

what would be minimum iyo for cs

[stark fulcrum]

mine is kinda booty too bro

i have 680 math 💀

[verbal nacelle]

bro

[trim sonnet]

💀

[verbal nacelle]

ngl i THINK you’ll be fine as long as your gpa is good

[trim sonnet]

What major u applying for

Rip

[lusty holly]

cs 😭

?

but at the end its not all so dw

[verbal nacelle]

broski ngl i would want to have a 700+ math but you might be fine since their score range is 1360-1540

[lusty holly]

i have under 700 evbrw

[vague belfry]

gl everyone!

[stark fulcrum]

you dont wanna know

this is my reach

but i would really like to go 😭

[lusty holly]

cs? its okay dw

[eternal axle]

Me too

[lusty holly]

or any major

in general

its still good school

[eternal axle]

I have 800 math

[lusty holly]

wow

so good

[stark fulcrum]

now all we can do is wait

in a large circle holding hands around gt

[lusty holly]

fr

whats ur evbrw

[eternal axle]

I’m expecting a rejection

[lusty holly]

sammee

[stark fulcrum]

690

[eternal axle]

Lmao I wrote accepting

[lusty holly]

nicee

[eternal axle]

This is why I’m bad

[lusty holly]

thats better than me

[stark fulcrum]

its like just above their bottom 50% for sat

[eternal axle]

I have a 670

[tepid gorge]

you can make up for sat score with ur academics and ecs

[lusty holly]

670 math?

oh english

hoping thats true @tepid gorge

[tardy crane]

760 math 760 English 😎

gotta be balanced

[stark fulcrum]

my academics are alright, i definitely shouldve taken more aps and started dual enrollment earlier but i also did a lot of band stuff so hopefully that helps

[lusty holly]

nice both r better than mine but amazing

scores

[lusty holly]

how many aps

[eternal axle]

I have 8 but I easily could have 10

I’m kinda annoyed at myself for not taking more

I have 2 honors

[verbal nacelle]

based

[tepid gorge]

My friend told me that whole on his tour they said one Saturday morning taking a test is not fully representative of your high school stats

[verbal nacelle]

32M/32S/35E/28R

😓

[eternal axle]

What’s the composite

On that

[stark fulcrum]

ap cs principles, ap world, apush, ap cs A, ap Physics, and this year im taking ap calc, ap Lit, and ap micro and macro as well

[verbal nacelle]

32

[tepid gorge]

Not much I can say but all the best

[stark fulcrum]

yeah i def shouldve done more

[eternal axle]

Did you try sat

[hard robin]

I watched a video on YouTube where they interviewed the head of admissions and they were mentioning how scores on SAT didn’t matter as much as ur community involvement and challenging classes

[verbal nacelle]

i live in a sat mandated state but i only rlly had one decent sitting and my act was higher

🤷‍♀️

[eternal axle]

I regret not trying act

Maybe I could have done better

[verbal nacelle]

1410 vs 32 act

[tardy crane]

I certainly did the challenging classes 🗿 about to get a C in my statics class this semester

[verbal nacelle]

32 act is better to submit

[hard robin]

There

[stark fulcrum]

ima need the most holistic admissions mankind has ever known

[verbal nacelle]

me also my math teacher telling me not to burn out yet 😚

bro? i’ve been burnt out since 9th grade

[hard robin]

I hope being president of the Computer Science Honors Society and 100+ volunteer hours makes up for lack of perfect SAT

[eternal axle]

What is ur sat

Perky

[verbal nacelle]

🧐 college senior?

[eternal axle]

If I may ask

[tardy crane]

[hard robin]

Do they consider ur second semester classes in ur senior year?

[verbal nacelle]

[eternal axle]

So I have to check my portal all day

That’s so annoying

They didn’t give a specific time

[hard robin]

It’s not 7pm for everyone?

[carmine gale]

5.4357382758325832576279569365937657346%

[weak drum]

[weak drum]

lmao

well

roip

rip

[carmine gale]

(but srsly how would we know 💀 )

depends onur essays and ec

etc

[weak drum]

yeah

[lusty holly]

Did they send email

[carmine gale]

yes

jan 18 4:10 pm

[lusty holly]

I didn’t get email

[covert fern]

check your spam folder

[lusty holly]

Found it thx

[summer marsh]

it probably is

u need like 780+ for gatech

if u want cs u need 790/800

[carmine gale]

its not like getting a 750 in math is gonna autoreject u

[summer marsh]

yea but he got 680

thats prob auto rejection worthy

[carmine gale]

oh

[summer marsh]

750 is like

pretty bad tho

for cs

[weak drum]

what about 31 on the act

[carmine gale]

iif u can make up for it w other stuff

it wont kill u

[eternal axle]

Does reading score really matter

[verbal nacelle]

that’s not true at all 💀

bro thinks gatech is mit

[lofty harness]

Not good enough

[summer marsh]

i mean if your other stuff were better ur better off going TO

[weak drum]

ong

[verbal nacelle]

gatech is test required

[lofty harness]

Well actually depends on ur GOA

[weak drum]

i know people with 700s on both

[summer marsh]

oh

[weak drum]

who got in

lmao

[summer marsh]

i forgot

[weak drum]

GPA?

[lofty harness]

31 ACT is meh

[weak drum]

not a lot

[weak drum]

31 on math only

33 in science and 35 english

[summer marsh]

yea thats p bad

[weak drum]

lmao

thats crazy

[eternal axle]

Ur pretty forward lmao

[summer marsh]

gatech test required is actually pretty good

[verbal nacelle]

a 31 is higher than their 25th %

[summer marsh]

that means my 1510 will actaully be good

[weak drum]

my 31 is only math

[verbal nacelle]

then ur good

[weak drum]

otherwise my composite is like

33

[verbal nacelle]

totally fine

don’t worry

[carmine gale]

i submitted my sat to a school that was below their 25th percentile and i still didnt get rejecetde 🤷‍♂️

[verbal nacelle]

your test score won’t be the reason you don’t get in

[summer marsh]

i forgot gatech is not TO anymore

[weak drum]

yeah

[eternal axle]

Isn’t urs 1530

[summer marsh]

so mid 50 will be lower

[carmine gale]

yeah

[eternal axle]

What school has a 1530 25th percentile

[carmine gale]

cmu

[weak drum]

@verbal nacelle shes correct ong

[eternal axle]

Oh cs

[carmine gale]

yea

[eternal axle]

I mean I’m general

[lusty holly]

Umm I have that

[eternal axle]

Sat isn’t too important to cmu

[carmine gale]

i think it is

idk tho

[eternal axle]

No

[lusty holly]

It is

[eternal axle]

It’s only considered

[carmine gale]

how do u know

[lusty holly]

Unless test opt

[eternal axle]

Look at there cds

[verbal nacelle]

i would suggest a 700+ in math for gatech if you’re doing cs or engineering, however that doesn’t mean you will get rejected because of having a lower score

[carmine gale]

?

[eternal axle]

Common data set

[carmine gale]

whast that

[eternal axle]

Do you not know what that is

Oh my god

[lusty holly]

So 750 still puts me down ?

[weak drum]

yeah i got a 730 math

[carmine gale]

no

[verbal nacelle]

no you’re fine

[lusty holly]

Cause everyone has 780+

[verbal nacelle]

literally

[eternal axle]

It has a bunch of useful info

[carmine gale]

https://www.cmu.edu/ira/CDS/cds_2122.html this?

[verbal nacelle]

one person here does

you’re totally fine

[eternal axle]

Go to section c

[carmine gale]

what do i look at

[eternal axle]

Section c

[carmine gale]

https://www.cmu.edu/ira/CDS/pdf/cds_2021_22/cds2021-c-first-time-first-year-admissions.pdf

[eternal axle]

Yes

Read it

[carmine gale]

bruh

[weak drum]

u should listen to her

[carmine gale]

allat and they dont say how many kids they deferred

kms

[weak drum]

i dont think if u dont get a 780

ur fucked

like

sure its better but

[verbal nacelle]

i got into a program where the avg math score is a 790 sat 750 psat with my 690 psat math literally just chill

[weak drum]

doesnt mean u have a 0% chance

[weak drum]

W

[lusty holly]

Hope gpa is more important

[summer marsh]

imo if ur oos u need 790 or 800M

[eternal axle]

It is

[weak drum]

nothing is "need"

[verbal nacelle]

no

there’s no need bro

[weak drum]

maybe the 790 is like

only smart

[verbal nacelle]

this isn’t mit

[weak drum]

yeah

its hard but

she right

[summer marsh]

gatech is really fucking hard bruh

for oos

[verbal nacelle]

if you’ve done absolutely nothing with your life except study for sat and don’t have good course rigor, maybe

[carmine gale]

this doestn feel that useful

[eternal axle]

Because they fill all there spots with residents

[eternal axle]

It’s useful to compare ur stats

[verbal nacelle]

if you have devoted time to course rigor and ecs, ur totally fine with lower than a 770

[summer marsh]

even with all that

[eternal axle]

And did u read thru all of it

[carmine gale]

yeaeh

[eternal axle]

Well it was useful for me

[verbal nacelle]

i’m just saying you’re not going to get rejected with a sub 800 math

[austere tusk]

Me with my 770

[verbal nacelle]

just because of your test score

literally

[carmine gale]

i dont know what im supposed to take away from this

[verbal nacelle]

stop fearmongering

you get in or you don’t

it won’t be because of your test score unless you got below their 25

🤷‍♀️

[eternal axle]

It gives average gpa, sat and what they look at in their admissions

For example they mark volunteer work as very important

[carmine gale]

yeah. but like every school looks at the same things

[eternal axle]

No

Some schools weight things differently

[carmine gale]

hm

[eternal axle]

Not some

All

[carmine gale]

but how would that

like how would knowing this

change somethign abt ur application

like what u highlight in ur essays?

[eternal axle]

I mean if you want to compare ur stats

Looking at the cds helped me build my college list

[carmine gale]

oh

[lusty holly]

I what gpa and courses u think is needed or recxomend Ed

[carmine gale]

but it doesnt show for specific majors

[lusty holly]

Recxomend

Sorry I’m typing fast

[eternal axle]

Well just know scs is their second most competitive major

Drama is first

[austere tusk]

Just to know what they value

[carmine gale]

ig

imo

even knowing that

i wouldnt change anything abt my app

[hard robin]

Anybody else applies for comp e?

[eternal axle]

Me

[austere tusk]

Not to change anth but it’s a MUCH better indicator of ur chances than anyone on a2c can tell u outside of verified AOs or maybe even college students

[lusty holly]

What gpa is good for cs

G tech

And Ap amount

[carmine gale]

4.0

[lusty holly]

Fr

[austere tusk]

Gpa is subjective

[lusty holly]

Uw or w ?

[carmine gale]

38

[eternal axle]

And 69 aps

[carmine gale]

4.0 UW
5.0 W

[lusty holly]

😭

[austere tusk]

As many as possible

[lusty holly]

What bout gpa

Uw and w ig

[carmine gale]

dude

its subjective

[lusty holly]

Uw

[carmine gale]

it depends on the rest of ur applicatio

[lusty holly]

Like considering everything good except sat

[eternal axle]

And the competitiveness

[lusty holly]

Pretty competice school

[eternal axle]

Just wait 3 days lol

[lusty holly]

Ik it’s too long

[eternal axle]

Then you will know

You submitted it 11/1 I think you will be fine

[verbal nacelle]

if you don’t have 30 college courses, a 4.0, and a 1600, you’re out

sorry to say but if you’re not the president either

on top of that

don’t even apply

💀

how y’all sound talking about “you need a 800M or else”

[austere tusk]

Real

[hard robin]

May not have 30 college courses but I do have over 30 college credits😤

[eternal axle]

It was just that one guy

[austere tusk]

If u have something to offer fr they might even take below 😭

[lusty holly]

I only have 10 aps

Not good

[eternal axle]

I have 8

[lusty holly]

Not trolling btw

[verbal nacelle]

i only have 31 college/college equivalents

[eternal axle]

I have 2 honors

[austere tusk]

Like it’s still possible to get there cuz there r ppl under the 25% cds

[verbal nacelle]

this sadly isn’t a troll LMAO

[austere tusk]

7 but only been here 2 yrs

[eternal axle]

Engineering is the most competitive major there

So it’s harder

[austere tusk]

V tru

[eternal axle]

What 10 do you have

[lusty holly]

Us , seminar , gov, csp, world , cs a , calc ab , calc bc , land , physics c Mech

[verbal nacelle]

it depends on what your school offers

good that you have bc and physics

i think you’ll be fine

[eternal axle]

Land?

[lusty holly]

Those r senior tho

[lusty holly]

Lang

[verbal nacelle]

totally fine

you still have bc

[lusty holly]

Also a snipe

Senior

[verbal nacelle]

still fine

don’t worry now we’re literally like 3 days from decisions

[lusty holly]

Only good thing is gpa and Evs

Ecs

[verbal nacelle]

worry after you’re deferred

[eternal axle]

Mine are calc ab, macro, stats, Chinese, physics c mech, physics c e and m, physics 1, precalc honors, Chinese honors

[lusty holly]

What bout rejected

[verbal nacelle]

precancerous honors

💀💀💀💀💀💀

BAHAHAHAAHAH

[eternal axle]

Autocorrect

[lusty holly]

Do they reject

[eternal axle]

Honestly I could have taken apush and gov

For 10

[verbal nacelle]

find a different school to worry about

[eternal axle]

But who cares

Those are useless to my major

[verbal nacelle]

they’re actually highly rejective

they defer 20%

[lusty holly]

This is good school tho

[eternal axle]

They are ranked 44

[verbal nacelle]

gatech is t10 in engineering

and t5 in cs

[eternal axle]

I got Texas a and m engineering

Which is 10

Idk if that is good or indicative

[verbal nacelle]

idk it depends

tamu or

[eternal axle]

Tamu

[verbal nacelle]

oh my gosh i love tamu

[eternal axle]

Texas a and m is tamu

[verbal nacelle]

just because of one professor

[eternal axle]

Which one

[verbal nacelle]

dr nicholas suntzeff

i had dinner w/ him <3

[eternal axle]

What

That’s random

[verbal nacelle]

he was a guest speaker

and sat down right next to me

he developed the cosmological constant

he’s probably the coolest guy i’ve ever met

he lectured on his 3 universe theory

[eternal axle]

Cool!

[lofty harness]

Oh

[lofty harness]

That’s good

[polar shell]

every hs does gpa differently so kinda hard to say

[verbal nacelle]

their min is 3.3 for COE and COC

have above that? ur good

😌

[lusty holly]

Uw tho

[lusty holly]

What’s coc

[polar shell]

college of computing

[polar shell]

some schools will have like massive grade inflation/or deflation and others have different scaling (100-point, 4.0, 5.0)

[lofty harness]

Lol but u wanna have much higher than that right?

[verbal nacelle]

probably a bit higher

probably 3.5+

🤷‍♀️

[lusty holly]

What’s grade inflation Ik I’m stupid for asking that

Or deflation

[lofty harness]

Yeah

[verbal nacelle]

my friend got in with a 3.7 smth

[lofty harness]

Oh

3.7 math gpa?

or overall

[verbal nacelle]

math gpa 💀💀💀💀

bro

[lofty harness]

oh loll

[verbal nacelle]

unfocus yourself from math

[lofty harness]

LMAO

stem gpa

sorry

[verbal nacelle]

overall

[polar shell]

teacher A: free 100s in ap classes
teacher B: no curve, harsh grade, impossible to get an A

[verbal nacelle]

they don’t just look at math

[lofty harness]

ah kk

ye

[verbal nacelle]

to get into gt you have to have a 1600 math sat and a 4.0 math gpa and 38 math aps

don’t forget 10 math ecs

[polar shell]

option 3) be in state 🥴

[verbal nacelle]

true af

creating a time travel device and moving to georgia

[austere tusk]

calc ab, calc bc, stat, gov, bio, lang, csa

[verbal nacelle]

the one thing i have heard

is that calc bc is kind of a prereq for oos

except if your school doesn’t offer

[austere tusk]

fr?

[verbal nacelle]

yeah

[austere tusk]

i legit jus took it cuz there was no other math apart from stat

[verbal nacelle]

they want you in the most rigorous classes

[winged sedge]

no shot bruh

[austere tusk]

and needed to fill out my classes

lmao

[winged sedge]

i mean im in calc bc but also ☠️

[austere tusk]

had no idea fr

[polar shell]

my teacher said 90%+ of gt students took calc bc or something

[lusty holly]

So 4.0 is useless ?

[austere tusk]

well rn im struggling with inverse integrals so maybe im not smart enough

for gt

[austere tusk]

ofc not

just in context

[verbal nacelle]

stop humble bragging smh

[polar shell]

inverse trig?

[austere tusk]

ye

[verbal nacelle]

nah you’re good

[polar shell]

honestly same

i just memorized the format tho

[lofty harness]

so true

[lusty holly]

Im not I exposed my trash sat lmao

[verbal nacelle]

i can’t even figure out my paper

[lusty holly]

Im just worried

[austere tusk]

moving rn so just hvnt had time

i should do that

[verbal nacelle]

what am i doing 🥶

[lofty harness]

Makes sense
