Georgia Tech (2022-2023)

[tardy crane]

like weed possession getting people sent to jail for like 20+ years

and then also with lack of schooling is lack of sex ed

[compact crater]

I had a good friend in sig ep and theta chi, I only rushed theta chi and accepted pledgeship but dropped shortly after cuz Im busy asf

[tardy crane]

so a lot of people don't know proper forms of protection and end up having children when unprepared

[compact crater]

fax, free the g's 🙏

[tardy crane]

usually u can trace a lot of things back to racism

am not saying any of this to attack you btw

[tepid gorge]

the racism doesnt directly affect the schooling, which is where you proceeded to use logic to conclude that worse school => worse jobs

[tardy crane]

just trying to educate

it does indirectly tho

and by worse schooling i mean lack of educational opportunities

[tepid gorge]

yea we just having a civil conversation

[tardy crane]

and less emphasis on importance of education

also with poverty a lot of students have to work and so they don't have time to focus on school

and college is less of an option because they're poor and they have to provide

[vague belfry]

I mean like what’s their reputation

[compact crater]

idk what their rep is

[tepid gorge]

yes i agree, but many people are also put away for crimes (not minor). i remember ben shapiro (lol) talking about this on how this is a "culture" problem rather than a "racism" problem, which I found interesting

[compact crater]

like I haven't heard much of sig alpha

[tardy crane]

the issue is that the culture comes with implicit racism and bias

and yeah people are also put away for crimes but a lot of the time people are pushed toward crime because they lack other opportunities

[tepid gorge]

I think this comes down to the polcies of school funding rather than actual racism.

[tardy crane]

oh yeah school funding should be different

but the reason why those schools are funded so badly stems from racism

[tepid gorge]

This is something that many poor households have to deal with regardless of race. I am not sure which race has the most people living in poverty, though that would be interesting to find out

[crimson wolf]

this is not true. asians are a minority and have by far the highest household income

[tardy crane]

race is tied with socioeconomic status too

just because some minorities aren't struggling doesn't mean all aren't

and even then asian people do have struggles with racism

[tepid gorge]

ok how is the culture of a black family living in the innner city of atlanta influenced by implicit racism and bias

[tardy crane]

but ya i can see how a lot of these issues are also big issues just for poor people in general

oh is that what you meant by culture

by culture i was thinking of like broader american culture

but racism does affect your mindset even if you're not fully aware of it

like feeling like an odd one out, imposter syndrome, thinking u weren't meant to get those opportunities, etc

and it can push people away from better opportunities because of fear of racism

[tardy crane]

also ya a bit of a generalization

but my main point is that systemic racism can have a large effect on schooling and ur future

[tepid gorge]

I think this was because of the chinese exclusion act (or some law) that basically limited the number of people from asia/china. then only rich/highly educated people were able to come to the US which leads to a lot of Asian people being "Wealthy" (compared to white people/black people)

[tardy crane]

yup also that

model minority myth

[tepid gorge]

I think the stat is that asian people make $1.30 for every $1.00 a white person makes

[crimson wolf]

yeah I believe so

[tepid gorge]

so yea thats one big reason why for that, also because asian households value education highly so more Asians are likely to hold a high school diploama, not have kids at a young age, go to college, and then find a high paying job which leads to wealth

compared to other races ^

[tepid gorge]

so fear of racism is pushing people away from better opportunities? im not sure this makes sense lol

[tardy crane]

like racist backlash

being the only minority in the room and stuff

[tepid gorge]

I mean college is a pretty diverse place now a days

its no longer like 99 white, 1 black

[tardy crane]

this bit is anecdotal but im doing higher stem classes now and there are like 3 black people including me and so i was afraid at first of the people around me being assholes

i wasn't scared away but i did have some fear

and yeah college is diverse but when you get to the higher levels of some majors things get a lot less diverse

and that can push others away

this applies for basically any minority besides race

[vague belfry]

what does this have to do with Georgia tech

[tepid gorge]

you had some fear, but would you say for others that "Fear" can hold someone back from taking the class?

[tardy crane]

for some people it really can

[crimson wolf]

its male to female ratio

[tardy crane]

it started cause this guy said that one of his classmates only got into georgia tech because she was black basically

[vague belfry]

Females are more likely to be accepted

[tardy crane]

there was some discussion about it above and now jd is asking about what holds black students back compared to other races

less women apply i imagine

its not like you've got the same number of applicants for both genders

[crimson wolf]

eh I did the math and its relatively the same

[tardy crane]

^

[crimson wolf]

maybe it gives a slight boost but basically nothign in the grand scheme of things

[tardy crane]

always take context into account

if u just compare percentages straight out you may draw the wrong conclusions

[tepid gorge]

interesting, but what are they "afraid of"? is it because they are the only ones that are "different"? i think for me, ive been "the odd one out" in many instances because of my race (one indian in a classroom full of white students) and not sure if i can relate to your experience, so its interesting

[tepid gorge]

Equality!

[tardy crane]

yeah i think its the difference that causes the fear

and being isolated due to that

or treated differently

[tepid gorge]

so the fear of being treated differently is so high that it actively discourages students not to apply for opportunities and programs

im curious to see if there would be any kind of statistical data to back this up

[tardy crane]

i dont think its a main factor

a lot of people also don't know about the opportunities

but i would assume that fear can factor in to it

idk if there is any stats on it considering how subjective it would be tho

[tepid gorge]

if they don't know about an opportunity, im not sure how one can chaulk that up to racism.

[vague belfry]

I mean it’s true

Just compare the profiles of females to males

I’m not even coping I’m a male who got in

[tepid gorge]

even asdfqwerty (when asked in dm) said females have a ~5% greater chance of getting in. cornell engineering it was closer to 2x times

[tardy crane]

cause lack of access

[tepid gorge]

cant cope if you always winning 👀

[tardy crane]

its not all up to racism but racism has an indirect part in it

basically racism do be everywhere

[tepid gorge]

everyone has access to the internet

[tardy crane]

ehh

not fast internet + not able to use it all the time

i have friends where the internet in their area regularly blacks out for like 1-2 hours

and then if you have to work or take care of siblings and stuff you don't have time to browse

[tepid gorge]

i feel like "racism" is an umbrella term, but are you specifically referring to the generational impact of slavery and then redlining that causes black households to live in low-income areas compared to their white counterparts or something else?

[tardy crane]

yeah im referring to that right now

[tepid gorge]

ok fair. The lack of internet access can be attributed to those things as that would mean they earn lower income

and I think this graph does a good job illustrating how the need for technology is mainly prevalent in lower-income families (note that this would affect people of all races)

[slender marten]

very easy

official tours take you through the engineering building + labs

at least mine did (i think it was the mech eng building?)

[near trellis]

If I have a shit ton of ccp and ap credits am I supposed to transfer them or do I retake the classes to boost my gpa

[crude pilot]

i've thought about this too, current seniors let us know

[polar shell]

isnt the whole purpose of ap exams to get college credit and save money

[near trellis]

Damn I never thought about that

Mostly been using aps to get into college

[polar shell]

theres almost no reason to not take the credit iirc

[near trellis]

Gpa?

[polar shell]

personally i wouldn't either way

out of curiosity, what credit were u thinking about retaking

[near trellis]

Umm

No idea lmao

I was just wondering as a general guideline

Although I think it’d also be most beneficial to retake calc 3 and linear algebra?

Idek

[polar shell]

ive seen someone ask if they should retake calc 2 at gt or take the ap credit and they got flamed so hard by everyone

[stable hearth]

yeah i struggled a bit, all we can do is our best! GOOD LUCK

[stable hearth]

for what??

[polar shell]

thinking about retaking calc 2 at gt

[stable hearth]

is the right answer to take or not to retake 😭

[near trellis]

^

[stone cove]

@carmine gale dont u love human geo

[carmine gale]

fuck uou

[polar shell]

my friend's friend dropped calc 3 like twice or something.
tbh im just basing this on what i've heard but some people here that actually took it recently could prob answer u a lot better

[stone cove]

can you not be rude

[carmine gale]

can you not be a lil rat

[stone cove]

thats not nice my house was infested by rats once and it was rly scary

[near trellis]

Unlucky

[carmine gale]

i didnt know you infested your own house

[near trellis]

What classes aren’t hard as shit at GT

[polar shell]

prob health lmao

[near trellis]

😭😭

[polar shell]

unless

cs 1301 was pretty easy imo

cs 1331 rn is kinda... weirdly formatted

we'll see how i do on the test today

[near trellis]

Good luck!

shouldnt you be sleeping tho?

[polar shell]

maybe

i have ap calc at 8:30 bruh

fuck that class

[near trellis]

Nice one

I respect the grind tho 😤

[polar shell]

i always sleep at like 2-3 am

ever since covid

prob not healthy

[near trellis]

Yeah… that’s worse than me lmao

All good though

Who needs sleep anyway

[polar shell]

senioritis be hitting tho

[near trellis]

Yeah but it’s kinda nice isn’t it?

Not having to care about anything

[stone cove]

no

its not

its stressful because burn out suckls

[carmine gale]

and i was IN IT

[carmine gale]

u were quite literally stalking me to my house

and then you hurled insults at me through the window as u sped by

and u were going 50mph in a residential zone

[eternal axle]

[carmine gale]

oh

[eternal axle]

[eternal axle]

this is exactly something a rat would say

[carmine gale]

[stone cove]

everyone calls me a rat

[eternal axle]

mark zuck is secretly a lizard

and veda05 is a rat (not such a secret)

[carmine gale]

maybe next time dont poison my food with pistachios ?

[eternal axle]

ur allergic to pistachios?

[carmine gale]

im allergic to all nuts

• sesame seeds

and some other seeds

[eternal axle]

strawberry seeds

[carmine gale]

Thankfully not

Poppee seeds are no

I think pumpkin seeds are no too

[eternal axle]

have u eaten bagels then

they taste bad w/o seeds. seeds give good flavoring

[carmine gale]

I don’t like bagels or donuts

one time in 3rd grade I was on a cruise with family friends and I wasn’t paying attention while buttering my breadstick so I unknowingly buttered the side with sesame seeds and then when i was eating it I didn’t see the seeds bc they were covered by butter and then I threw up 4 times on the cruise

[slow osprey]

What has #1050761569853767730 channel turned into🫡

[open walrus]

it's guaranteed, i sent them an email about this

[winged sedge]

ohhhh icic!

[delicate summit]

tomatoes also give good flavoring

[tepid gorge]

so much work tho lol

[tepid gorge]

a wasteland

[polar shell]

Bruh I miss how 1301 was formatted online

[tepid gorge]

the fact that quizzes and tests are only open on the weekend + fri + monday is not the best

[polar shell]

Our 1331 test today is only open from 8am-8pm

[polar shell]

I kinda liked this tho tbh

[tepid gorge]

oh dang

i guess there are pros can cons

[crude pilot]

im too busy coping hence the channel pretty dry

my bad i'll come back<3

[slow osprey]

The channel needs you sire

[crude pilot]

u have been blessed with my presence

more importantly

https://tenor.com/view/wapple-apple-stare-gif-21915014

lucky apple is here🙏

[trim sonnet]

You got deferred right?

Or rejected? 😔

[crude pilot]

deferred🙏

[crude pilot]

fortunately no

[compact crater]

low key done grinding internships bruh

officially got my first offer today, like a juice $35 / hr and I get to live in Pittsburgh for the summer

[crude pilot]

niceee

pittsburgh is a good place to live as well

i want GT mainly for the internship clout😭

but then again everything else is good too

[trim sonnet]

Omg wasn’t there a message here somewhere that GT deferrals meant a very high acc rate in RD?

Like 75% or smth

[crude pilot]

LMAOO NO

more lke 20%

[polar shell]

shit did not go too well

[compact crater]

gl in 32 💀

I had my first test today, it went pretty well tho

[polar shell]

bruh im mainly pissed at how shit typing code on canvas is

and my grammarly was fucking on so it kept on suggesting me to capitalize shit

[compact crater]

are u taking 31 online

[polar shell]

ye

[compact crater]

lmao

[polar shell]

DE

[compact crater]

damn that’s crazy I forgot y’all can dual enroll 31 now

[polar shell]

oh and tab didnt work on canvas bruh

[compact crater]

How hard is that tech class compared to ur HS classes

[polar shell]

i had to manually type in 4 spaces 🥹

[compact crater]

Yeah tab doesn’t work unfortunately

[polar shell]

i took csa last year and 1331 is just a super in-depth csa

[compact crater]

yeah, 1331 is like software development foundations

for me, twas a fun class but it wasn’t easy at UGA. I heard it’s a bit easier than 32 tho

[polar shell]

ah

how heavily are the tests weighted in 1332

[compact crater]

Super heavily

3 tests + a final exam that makes up 86% of ur entire grade

[polar shell]

thought it couldn't get worse than 1331... guess i was wrong

[compact crater]

Yeah rip it sucks but unfortunately it only gets worse

U get used to it tho

[tepid gorge]

yea exams make your ur whole grade

especially in diff eq lol (also de)

at least we got a project tho

[elder glade]

The one thing that pains me abt college classes w respect to hs classes is that tests are a much larger chunk of your grade and they aren’t curved

Like in physics, I could drop a 50 raw on a test and still end up with a solid 85

Which, when homework and quizzes are factored in, would give me a solid 92 isn in the class

[compact crater]

idk I mean it depends on where u go

if u go to an average mainstream college where the average class is pretty easily doable, u probably won't see curves as often

at tech, you'll see them enough

[clever marten]

that's reassuring

ooh, new role

[sturdy viper]

yall i got into GT for EA but will i get conditional or something if i get a 75 (C) second sem in ap physics c

[nocturne pond]

They’ll probably contact you but very unlikely it’ll be any more than that

[trim sonnet]

as someone with a 3.94 UW GPA, will straight Bs in second sem senior year get me rescinded from GT (OOS, CS)

[slow osprey]

I have this fear all day everyday

[elfin perch]

you have asked this like 5 time bruh

stop stressing youre fine

[solar hemlock]

im the same its fine

[winged imp]

But their mascot is a B??? Why would they rescind you for it

[crude pilot]

[winged sedge]

does anyone know what the grant was that was given to gatech for like NLP research and stuff? was also given to a few other schools but not many

or maybe it was for ai or smth hahaha i forget but it was only like 5 colleges

[compact crater]

nah u straight g

[steady flame]

do I put some why GT stuff in the deferred supplemental form or should I just talk about updates?

[woeful cliff]

I did when I wrote mine

I said it was my number one choice lmao

[clever marten]

bruh my grades trippin

[slim urchin]

💀💀

[glass trench]

Does anyone have more information about this? A basic google search comes up with almost nothing.

[polar shell]

https://finaid.gatech.edu/undergraduate-types-aid/grants

congrats

[glass trench]

Thanks! I saw that page which gives a little bit of information, but I just thought it was weird that there is almost no trace of anyone talking about it anywhere else on the internet lol

[crude pilot]

same lol

cuz it actually is

😭

[polar shell]

wait the ss i sent says dean's grant

idk if thats different than the scholarship

[glass trench]

idk either lol
the information that it gives looks comparable but it is also very general information so...

[slim urchin]

Congratulations! What major did you apply for if you don't mind me asking?

[glass trench]

Thank you! I applied for Physics!

[clever marten]

it’s just missing assignments tbh

senioritis is kicking in hard

but I also definitely failed my last calc quiz so 🤷‍♂️

[remote dawn]

Does anyone paid the deposit?, in my deposits tab, I have to select for it, but there are no options

[slender marten]

i did

it’s very weird how you get to it

[slender marten]

HUGE CONGRATS!! i have an interview for a business college deans scholarship next week. they told us the award ranges from 20k-40k so i honestly don’t know if it’s the same for cos or not

[tepid gorge]

ong

rocking like a 64 in ap pysch rn

[long thistle]

Congratulations!! I was looking into it as well, but I could only find information about other colleges' Dean's Scholarships. It looks like a great opportunity!

[long thistle]

Oh congratulations! The COS one (at least for me) was about 20k per year

[crude pilot]

guys

i already submitted my LOCI

but i got two new updates

can i send them a mail or smtng?

[crude pilot]

and they are major updates

hence i really wanna send them:(

[heady kestrel]

apart from the DSF?

[crude pilot]

yeah i wanna send an email apart from the dsf if thats possible

[heady kestrel]

they said they did not need anything other than the DSF on their Instagram Q&A.

[crude pilot]

true they dont need it

but

i wanna send

cuz i missed out on new info

which occurred since the submission of the DSF

and i really want them to consider it

[heady kestrel]

oh

[crude pilot]

so wdyt?

would they mind if i send it?

[hidden swift]

i wouldn’t

they specifically said not to

[crude pilot]

okay

[sour vigil]

HEY I GOT THE SAME THING CONGRATSSA

[clever marten]

better than me

[crude pilot]

who's gonna tell em😭

[crude pilot]

no

im a counsellor acc to them

lol

i got deferred

[heady kestrel]

I'm guessing you have control over your School counsellor's common app?

or you are your school counsellor lol

[crude pilot]

naa

[crude pilot]

not that either

I signed up for a counsellor's only event

as a 3rd part counselling company's counsellor

and i chose the option to not disclose my company name

lmao

[heady kestrel]

damn

[gloomy coral]

LMFAO

[polar shell]

I just gotta pay attention in calc bc

[clever marten]

same tbh

[polar shell]

i feel like my teacher is going too fast

BC only topics + other calc 2 stuff in 8 weeks

[clever marten]

our teacher is just ass at teaching

[pine basalt]

Adi321456 asks: What did you get as your acceptance "package"?

1⃣: only letter
2⃣: stickers and letter

[vague belfry]

i did my deposit and signed up for housing succesfully, but when I go into the deposits epay I don't see any reference to my payment?? I was charged so idk lol

[trim sonnet]

rip

😭

im the only one that didn't get stickers

bruh

(benz's and carl(y)-bot's votes don't count)

[broken arrow]

no the stickers are the best part 😭

along with the weird folder thing

[trim sonnet]

😭

that's all i got

with a letter

bruh

[broken arrow]

NOOO

😭

[trim sonnet]

😭

and this is like fresh outta the mail

[broken arrow]

the stickers are for my memory when i can’t go bc of finaid

[trim sonnet]

i didn't lose anything

[broken arrow]

that sucks

😭

u could probably order a pack on etsy or something

[trim sonnet]

that feels inauthentic

basically im a sticker collector so 💀

im sad

its fine

how many stickers was it tho

tryna break records and shi yfm

[sour vigil]

Am I the only one who still hasn’t received the acceptance package

Maybe I didn’t actually get accepted and it was all an elaborate scheme by some online hacker who plays into my deepest fears

Anyways

[trim sonnet]

BRUH

WTF

THIS IS A CRIME

[broken arrow]

man that sucks 😭

they’re cute

[trim sonnet]

😭

OMW to search the entire UPS storage facility to see if they took them out byeeeee

[elder marten]

bruh

[polar shell]

did u get the email yet?

they sent me an email like 12 hours after

UGA sent me socks tho lol

[slow osprey]

I haven't as well
Or maybe I'm too lazy to go and check the mail

[remote dawn]

I WANT MY GT PACKAGE

But intl 💀

[vague belfry]

yes

[outer fractal]

did international people get a package too

[gloomy coral]

I got deferred from Gtech and sent them my mid year grades which are not good. I think i have a good profile and my predictive scores for the finals and other tests scores are great. How much does this hurt my chances?

Also the new ECs i sent them are also really good

[clever marten]

you think you could email admissions for that 🤔

[clever marten]

take this with a grain of salt but they value grades in high level classes a lot. however, if you show that you were busy with other ECs and stuff, they might be able to understand a dip in grades

[gloomy coral]

I see i see

Thanks for answering

[wide hollow]

how do I do my DSF ?

like 150 words isn't much at all but can I just fill it with updates on my ECs

and what about any "why GTech" lines

[crude pilot]

they arent expecting Why GTech lines

[restive sapphire]

Where’d you update them with new ECs? I’m looking to send them some updates too

[crude pilot]

DSF

i sadly wanted to send them more but i doubt they'll consider it, i sent a mail ayways

cuz i got those updates after submitting my DSF lol

[polar shell]

for enrollment deposit, you wont see any references under the history tab. if it says deposit received on your app portal, you're fine for that. idk about house deposit but i think they're delaying when they charge you for that. im doing off campus most likely so idk much about that

[vague belfry]

where would I see "deposit recieved" under my app portal?

[polar shell]

should be right below everything else

[restive sapphire]

Oh I applied rd

I don’t think I saw an option on portal for uploading updates to awards so I guess email is the only option

[crude pilot]

yeah then do that

good luck!!

[restive sapphire]

Ty :)

You too!

[crude pilot]

GT should have an option in the portal for uploading updates smh

even Penn has it

[green delta]

anyone know when RD decisions dropping ?

[polar shell]

i dont think they released the specific date yet

except its sometime in march

[restive sapphire]

Yeah I guess I probably didn’t see it, I’ll check again soon

[gloomy coral]

You can add new ECs in the DSF

[restive sapphire]

I applied rd so I don’t have that option

[polar shell]

i dont think you can add on the portal

i would email them but idk what theyll say

[restive sapphire]

Yeah I’ll give it a shot

Ty :)

[crude pilot]

its worth a shot

i've tried that

lets hope they reply positive within 3 days or so

[hidden swift]

boys

should i say fuck it

and submit my resume here

(deferred applicant)

[pine yacht]

Do they actually check any extra documents submitted there?

[hidden swift]

maybe

or if they see a resume they may not even consider it

i just dont want to get them mad for submitting something they said not to submit 💀

[pine yacht]

I mean technically speaking there’s no mention that you cannot submit something they didn’t ask for but I’d advice you to wait for someone experienced to help you out as I have no idea.

[trim sonnet]

Butker W 🥳

MAE

[twin crystal]

Ah

[wide hollow]

Ye

[wide hollow]

know anything about this ?

don't want to mess up my GATech app because I didn't know the deadline

[slow osprey]

ohh damn

[wide hollow]

Anyone ?

[crude pilot]

they havent read it and telling me that it doesnt matter much lol

they just said it without reading it ofc lol

so eh

[polar shell]

idk about the emt and internship, but emailing works for a schedule change

[edgy sun]

YOO JUST GOT PROVOST

[boreal socket]

could anyone review my DSF pls?

trynna cut down 20 words but everything looks important enough ☠️

[boreal socket]

wait, isn't it 15 feb 12am?

i.e. 14 feb 11:59?

[sinful tapir]

Lmaooo

I think it’s due tomorrow at 11:59pm

Couldn’t find anything on google tho

Well I’m EST

[boreal socket]

pretty much every deadline in college apps allows you to submit on day of deadline, should be fine imo

idk if I wanna risk it

[sinful tapir]

Yeah ikr

Something like this ain’t something to be messin with

This essay be hard carrying based on my grades last semester 😩

[boreal socket]

aaaa

[sinful tapir]

U doing it in bullet points or essay format?

[boreal socket]

bullet points.
"since submitting my app, I have: ..."

and end with "gt remains my top choice" and refer to their motto

[sinful tapir]

Is that all u got for conclusion? Must be some meaty bullet points lol

[boreal socket]

I have 3 bullet points. one is about my job, other is about a hobby. last is about a couple labs at gt that align with my aforementioned interests. last one is kinda part of the conclusion too

[sinful tapir]

Ah ok

Did u mention ur job in ur app before?

[boreal socket]

yeah, it was an internship at the time, turned into a full-time role after I submitted the app

[sinful tapir]

Like u get a promotion or something

Nice that’s cool

U did u use the word promotion tho right lol

[boreal socket]

wrote "converted my internship into a full-time job"

[sinful tapir]

Gotta make it look 10x better that’s it actually is lol

Imo something along the lines of promoted or “upgraded” would sound like a positive level up but that’s just my opinion

[boreal socket]

ah, changed to "been promoted from * to *"

[sinful tapir]

U might not have the space, but u can try to mention why u got promoted, but idk how u would go about writing that without sounding too haughty or something

Idk if u already have or not

[boreal socket]

I haven't oof. wayy too long of a story, to the point that I wrote a 250-word CMU essay about it

just wrote about what I've been doing in the company

[sinful tapir]

Oh wow ok must be interesting then lol

Are ur duties the same even if ur a full time employee now?

Hopefully they aren’t

[boreal socket]

nah lol, leading a much bigger project rn instead of just making a feature here and there

[sinful tapir]

That’s even better 👍

[boreal socket]

a min before PST deadline (still not sure if it's today or tomorrow, but eh)

[wide hollow]

You’ve done the impossible soldier

[slow osprey]

Exact

11:59 pst

[wide hollow]

Can I change some stuff from my DSF

Like can I send in another letter and ask them to remove the previous one from my application file

[slow osprey]

unlikely but you can try.

[wide hollow]

I did mail them with a valid reason

Let’s hope they understand

[slow osprey]

Yeah let's hope they accept

[wide hollow]

They told me updates to my DSF aren’t possible although they will accept updates to my application

Idk what they mean

[crude pilot]

bro wtf

why wasnt i allowed to then

😭😭

[wide hollow]

Idk man maybe my emailing skills did it for em

[crude pilot]

bro fr they did me dirty

i have been rejected

they prolly saod dont bother sending

u already rejected lol

😭

[elder marten]

RIP

[long thistle]

I don't think that it means that you were rejected! I sent an update in November/December and was told that it could not be added to my profile at the time, but I could send it later if I was deferred. I thought for sure that I was deferred or rejected, but ended up getting accepted

[crude pilot]

there is hope🙏

[compact crater]

nah chill not yet

that's just a rule they have

[hidden swift]

bro said not yet💀💀

[compact crater]

lmao mb I didnt mean that

[idle night]

bruh i submitted my dsf yesterday and today i found out that i became a national merit finalist
i could have added that to my dsf if i waited a day to submit
i'll prob just end up emailing them or smth

[ancient rain]

anyone applying to summer session at Georgia Tech?

[crude pilot]

😭😭

[crude pilot]

you cant email them tho:(

[crude pilot]

i said yes in the DSF

[hidden swift]

why they so strict w their deferral shit

most other schools give sm freedom when u get deferred

[crude pilot]

exactly

how they i prove that i simp for them

also how do i submit new cool stuff

which is actually way more impressive than wtv i put in my dsf lol

[hidden swift]

naw fr

[crude pilot]

mind talking in dms?

[boreal socket]

yeah I did. I'm on a gap year anyways so don't need much of a break, and if it helps my chances, why not

[ancient rain]

cool.. summer would increase the chances for sure

[crude pilot]

i did it to increase my chances as well

but idk if it will help thaat much

[open walrus]

anyone taking the pathway offer?

[idle night]

Damn

[winged sedge]

i hope to

next yr💔

[wide hollow]

Cant you?

They told me send us updates by mail we’ll add it to your application

[crude pilot]

naa

[crude pilot]

man they said its a rule for all applicants

idk whats up with them

are you perhaps RD?

[wide hollow]

EA deferred

[crude pilot]

bruh tf

why didnt they take mine then

😭

[crude pilot]

same

[wide hollow]

Damn idk bro

[compact crater]

bro what

how, they aren't allowed to accept any more updates after you complete the deferral form

[wide hollow]

I guess I

I'm built different

or maybe they already rejected me and are like yeah just put it in the pile we don

dont care

[compact crater]

nah nah

wait when did yall get yall's decision and get deferred

[wide hollow]

late Jan

dont remember the exact date sorry

[compact crater]

when do yall get the next decision

approximately, its ok I dont need an exact date

[wide hollow]

release date was Jan 27 for EA, after deferral it should come out again in march

[compact crater]

oh ok

damn yeah it has been a lil while then

I was asking both of those questions cause I wanted to see how deep admissions was into reading deferred applications

[crude pilot]

why they discriminating against me then😔

[slender marten]

yes i was at a conference last april in atl and it snowed

also just driver past gt 🥱

drove*

[trim sonnet]

In April?!?

Wtf

[slender marten]

yes

[compact crater]

i miss senior year so much lmao

and uga too

[vague belfry]

So do u not like gt

[compact crater]

yeah

school isn’t even that bad , this place is just depressing tho

[open walrus]

fr?

[open walrus]

do you think its because everyones focused on studying andshit

[mystic dragon]

Campus is depressing or Atlanta?

[trim sonnet]

I mean isn’t that like most stem focused schools more or less

[open walrus]

I lived in atlanta, i actually loved it

[open walrus]

tbf yeah

idk the vibe for tech is kinda dragging me away from it

i really wanted to take that pathway offer

[mystic dragon]

Gotcha. So tech. Not Atlanta. What about gt is depressing? Is it too much of a STEM bubble? Not enough humanities? Is it STEM students tend to be introverts and it's hard to get to know people?

[open walrus]

I don't go to tech but from what I've heard is that everyone is like some sort of losers and don't have social lives because they study so much

maybe that was a bit much of an overdrive but

[mystic dragon]

Hmmm. Definitely possible. You think MIT or CMU or UC Berkeley are different? Or you think they also study tons and no time for fun?

[loud rivet]

idk how accurate but somewhere deep in reddit or quora i saw ppl say the acpentance for deferred students who said yes to summer was 100% cz one year they only hadl ike 70 ppl say yes

[vague belfry]

Damn wtf

[slender marten]

yeah but idk how much i believe this. i’m in state and have a few friends that go to tech already (both current fresh and sophs) and they love it. their only complaint was the dorms which is understandable but they’re very social ppl so i’m not sure where ur hearing this

[open walrus]

from students blud

[boreal socket]

from what I've heard, cmu is extremely dead too

berkeley doesn't have that vibe because it's a huge humanities school too. afaik, MIT doesn't either, not sure why

[hidden swift]

cmu campus so nice

[slow osprey]

So true

[hidden swift]

too bad i have a less than 1% chance of getting in

🤣

[slow osprey]

Plus robotics at CMU = 🤌

[slow osprey]

Same T_T

[hidden swift]

u apply SCS?

[slow osprey]

Yes

[hidden swift]

word

[slow osprey]

If in a hypothetical universe I get in, I would want to minor in Robotics with CS

[hidden swift]

same

u do HS robotics?

[slow osprey]

Dope!!

[slow osprey]

Not a lot, but a bit

My school doesn't have FTC and stuff

All I did was WRO

[hidden swift]

ahh damn

[slow osprey]

But I have individual projects

[hidden swift]

i see i see

thats fire

[slow osprey]

Wbu

[hidden swift]

yea i do VEX robotics

[slow osprey]

damn thats so cool!

I've always wanted to do Vex and ftc

[hidden swift]

yea vex is hella fun

r u international?

[slow osprey]

yup

esp I love the autonomous challenge

computer vision integrated with robotics is fun

[crude pilot]

god damn im happy then

[boreal socket]

wtf wow lol

that might've been one of the covid years though, because hs graduations were pushed back, at least where I'm from

I was waitlisted last year and couldn't say yes to the summer term because graduation wasn't until late july

[eternal axle]

what part of it is nice

besides the leaning statue

cmu campus is tiny

[hidden swift]

it’s spacious for a tiny campus and the city view

[vague belfry]

georgia!!!

[carmine gale]

i love cmu.

[clever marten]

same lmao

I’m happy with Tech

[open walrus]

i love georgia

[tight fog]

I’ll love Georgia if they hook me up with some money 🙏

[mystic dragon]

Stamps?

[tight fog]

no ☹️

[mystic dragon]

oos too. 🤞

[tight fog]

good luck, you get stamps?

[compact crater]

yeah very much so

i blame the students for working as much as they do, I procrastinate my shit and still do fine and so can everyone else but it feels like 80% of these students are on top of their shit 24/7 so yeah its not fun other than the weekends. at the same time tho I can't blame the students cuz it's the faculty and school's fault they're being worked as much as they are

[open walrus]

how are the job oppurtunities you get at tech

[open walrus]

like what companies come and actively look for students to intern for them?

[compact crater]

one of the few W's of this school which is why I don't hate it completely

a lot of companies recruit out of here, a lot of career fairs, a lot of career resources here

for me, I transferred from uga and as a CS major, I didn't get shit at uga. I lined up 2 SWE intern offers in my first ~1.5 months here at tech tho

[open walrus]

yeah thats what i expected from a t10 public haha

i guess thats what you get for studying all the time

[compact crater]

nah

studying doesn't equate to interviewing and getting jobs

nor does ur gpa

cuz here people struggle academically, I mean the average joe here has a 3.3 - 3.6 probably

[open walrus]

Damn

yeah i got rejected from uga :((

but go into tech somehow

[compact crater]

yeah

uga is getting competitive now, I heard it was like a 31% acceptance rate

at least for EA this year

[open walrus]

yeah the ea uh

stats?

was crazy

average sat was like 1470 lol

[compact crater]

yeah lol

can't be sleeping on uga like that anymore

[open walrus]

im just tryna live in georgia again

got rejected uga, got into tech, waiting for emory

[compact crater]

but that's why UGA is goated still, you won't get as good of opportunities as you would here at tech in terms of entry levels / internships, but I was a CS major and CS majors are bound to make money regardless of where u go. you're getting still very solid opportunities while school is braindead easy

[open walrus]

would you go back if you could

[compact crater]

I could still lol

but nah

I got a 91 on my first data structures test here at tech, notoriously difficult

[open walrus]

damnn

[compact crater]

so I told myself I'm keeping my head up these next 1.5 - 2 years

[open walrus]

how do you think about transferring in as a sophomore

i got the pathway thing

and the guidelines seem pretty okay

are you instate for tech?

[compact crater]

transferring isn't easy, it's easier than regular admissions but overall transfer admission is about 29% acceptance so it's not easy

and yeah I'm in state

[open walrus]

oh i see

[compact crater]

I really only applied in state

actually nah I got into tulane, i said fuck that and fuck spending that much money lmao

[open walrus]

i got the pathway thing guaranteed admission

but some people said that they meet friends freshmen year and i won't really have much of a social life if i transfer in soph year

[compact crater]

conditional?

[open walrus]

yeah

but seems okay

[compact crater]

yeah

[open walrus]

3.3 gpa i think

[compact crater]

conditional is a joke lmao

yeah no worries

ur chillin

[open walrus]

3.3 at a cc

lmfao

[compact crater]

don't matter haha

thats why transfer pathways are so goated

regular transfer applicants like me usually struggle

like most regular transfer applicants get rejected their first time applying (I did), and then usually get in after at least one more try

[open walrus]

ah

[compact crater]

if ur a regular transfer applicant, and if ur applying for a competitive major like CS, this sounds a little mean but you're most likely bound to get rejected if u don't have over a 3.8

[open walrus]

so you transferred in uh

after ur freshie at uga?

[compact crater]

I spent 3 semesters at uga

so I transferred in this semester into tech

[open walrus]

oh ic

how'd u meet your friends there

[compact crater]

at uga or at tech

[open walrus]

at tech

[compact crater]

got soooo lucky. Ima keep it a stack, I'm a stoner so I was kinda worried I wasn't gonna be able to find people who enjoy getting high. all of the random roommates I got in my off campus apartment smoke and drink so unlike most tech students, they know how to have fun while getting their shit done

and from their, my roommates introduced me to just a couple other friends, but all of these guys are my homies

really my only homies here

[open walrus]

i heard

they are all like studying

so is the gym and the rec empty asf on weekdays

tryna find some hooper friends lmao

[compact crater]

fr we should hoop, I be ballin at the CRC. very few hoopers during the day, but a lot of people in the gym

even during the weekdays

[polar shell]

geez

i still havent gotten back my oop test 🥸

[compact crater]

is that 31

[polar shell]

ye

honestly i wont be mad with a B

unless its like an 89

[compact crater]

i dont blame ya

I got a 76 on my first test which was physics, then an 86 on my us gov test, then a 91 on data structures

and when I pulled a 40-hour all nighter for that data structure test I was scared shitless

[polar shell]

wow

i prob should of studied more for oop tbh

just hoping this first test doesnt kill my grade

[compact crater]

ur chillin bruh

ur dual enrolling, dual enrolling is definitely way tougher

but also it sort of is like every other college class in that ur grade just depends on how good ur professor is and how much work u put in

u just watch recorded lectures online right

idk if dual enrollment at tech has changed since I graduated hs 2 years ago but my friends who dual enrolled at tech for various classes gave mixed comments

[polar shell]

yea... kinda wish there was a online recitation or something like DE cs 1301

theres piazza but the TA hasnt answered for like 4 days

[compact crater]

lmao

[compact crater]

that's tough. Idk if u know but 32 TA's are high key goated

there's like 50+ of them mfers across all sections 💀

[polar shell]

wtf

i think we got 2

1 is on piazza usually

the other one idk what he does

[compact crater]

low key I'm tryna cop an A in data structures so that I could TA 32, that would be fire

oh ok nice

[polar shell]

TAs grade the tests right?

[compact crater]

i mean idk how test grading works in terms of professors and their TA's

I know though that we use gradescope to automatically screen each page of a test and dictate whether its right or wrong, whether its free response (like coding) or multiple choice

pretty sick imo

[polar shell]

we use gradescope for hw which is pretty nice

[compact crater]

okay yeah same

a lot of classes at tech like to use gradescope

[polar shell]

best feeling with test cases

[compact crater]

w

[slender marten]

anyone else have a deans scholarship interview tmr 😭😭

i’m so nervous

[compact crater]

gl my g

[mystic dragon]

Semi. Haven't heard back yet

[stone cove]

[polar shell]

Never been more happy 🥹🥹

[restive sapphire]

ayyy nice!

[twin crystal]

.666

🗿

[compact crater]

atta boy

rounds up to an A basically

[restive sapphire]

I just got a reply back from tech and they said they don’t accept any updates for rd applicants

[wide hollow]

wish my school did stuff like this

they dont even use the proper grade thresholds

using raw percentages to grade where you normally would with percentiles

where you would normally score 75% on an exam and get the 90% percentile and score an A, they would give you a grade of C

they messed up my mid year grade

grades

Am I making sense to you guys because the teachers sure didn't understand me

[neat compass]

Any scholarship news come out recently?

[stable hearth]

Including Stamps/Gold?

[mystic dragon]

Was wondering same thing.

[vague belfry]

Don’t quote me on this, but yesterday at the deans scholarship semi-finalist event I believe I heard the assistant dean say that stamps decisions would be finalized early-mid march

[mystic dragon]

What semi-finalist event?

[wide hollow]

what are georgia tech students called

georgia technicians ?

im honestly intrigued

[vague belfry]

yellow jackets?

[wide hollow]

something might be wrong with me

please ignore my delusion

[wide hollow]

makes sense

[sour vigil]

Yes

[crude pilot]

u belong to the a2c hall of shame

banned 😂

[carmine gale]

u belong to the sewers

[stone cove]

i’m allergic to sewers it makes me break out

[carmine gale]

good

[stone cove]

let’s play never have i ever

put a finger down if you’ve been banned from the a2c discord

@carmine gale

[carmine gale]

put a finger down if you've cried after a ap calc unit 5 test

[stone cove]

put a finger down if you’ve fallen in the tennis courts during freshman year pe

[carmine gale]

put a finger down if your sister threw a tv remote at your face

[eternal axle]

put a finger down if you got rejected from cmu scs

[carmine gale]

not me 🤭

(but veda applied coe)

[eternal axle]

fuck

if i say coe im roasting myself too

so i wont

[carmine gale]

😭

[stone cove]

put a finger down if your brother dropped a life sized teddy bear on you and sent the video around the school and it’s still talked about 3 years later

[open walrus]

Lmfao

Tough

[carmine gale]

You’re the only one who sitll brings it up tbh

get over it 🙄

[stone cove]

everyone talks about it

i was at a party yesterday and we were all watching the video

and it wasn’t even on my phone it was on someone else’s

[carmine gale]

At least I didn’t lie about getting into ucla like you

[stone cove]

at least i didn’t fake my stats on apps like you did

[carmine gale]

at least I didn’t fake all my extracurriculars

[stone cove]

at least i don’t fake sick every time there’s a human geo test

[crimson wolf]

who doesnt skip geo

[neat arch]

Is this banter or are these 2 legit beefing 😭

[crimson wolf]

they do this everyday so probably the former

[elder glade]

They’re former lovers

[slow osprey]

Technicians

[stone cove]

quite far from the truth

[carmine gale]

at least I didn’t sabotage everyone else so I could become valedictorian

[stone cove]

that’s not even true.

[carmine gale]

Really

u little liar

The nerve

[stone cove]

i don’t even have a 4.0

[carmine gale]

remember when you threw my ap Chem mole on the roof

And then stabbed a gash in my teddy bear’s back?

[polar shell]

damn

[elder glade]

Now I’m intrigued

[elder glade]

Mole? As in 6.02*10^23 molecules?

[carmine gale]

we had to sew moles for a chem project

due on mole day (oct 23)

[elder glade]

So what exactly are you two?

Just academic rivals?

Except y’all are purposefully green to one another?

[carmine gale]

we just go to the same school where she terrorizes the entire senior year population

[stone cove]

this is such a lie

[elder glade]

So how are you gonna shut her down?

[stone cove]

yk what happened

it was during covid

distance learning

for chem we had to sew a mole puppet for mole day and decorate it and show it on camera over zoom

FIRESTAR is so incompetent and can’t sew

so out of the goodness of my heart, i sewed it for him AND bikes over to his house to drop it off

and then after the assignment

he sent a video of him throwing the mole on the roof

[carmine gale]

ACTUALLY

my brother threw it

AND

i did ur calc slideshow for you

and i did it amazingly

i latex

all of it

[stone cove]

true but i could’ve done the slideshow myself while you never could have sewn a mole puppet yourself

[carmine gale]

yes i could have

i was really close the third time

and i also decorated it myself

so u didnt do everythign

[elder glade]

So essentially what I’m hearing is you guys are friends trolling this server together while simultaneously failing to act upon your mutual romantic attraction…

[carmine gale]

yes minus the second part veda has horrible taste in everything

[stone cove]

so essentially what i’m hearing is that ur stupid

[stone cove]

unfortunately true

[carmine gale]

she dated 2 guys at once and 1 was a homophobe + racist and the other was just a little cuckoo

and then both dumped her

[stone cove]

i just have bad luck in that department

[nimble lintel]

So essentially what I’m hearing is that you, Mr. USC Great Gatsby dude, are a GENIUS

The situation seemed labyrinthine at first, but it’s now lucid

Alliteration bars

[nimble lintel]

Ye I’d avoid her at all costs

[carmine gale]

ong

[stone cove]

wow

you don’t even know me

[nimble lintel]

She def tryna get w u tho

[carmine gale]

and then she just goes ahead and gets berkeley regents and chancellors 😐

[stone cove]

cool girls do it both

[stone cove]

woman

[carmine gale]

shes taller than me in heels
