Georgia Tech (2022-2023)

[warped portal]

Waitlisted bruh

[clever marten]

got in during EA

[tepid gorge]

Congrats to everyone who got in!

[clever marten]

^^^

[amber moss]

is the acceptance rates high for that

[warped portal]

Nope apparently sometimes 100-1000 get in from like 4k-5k ppl there’s no set amt, it’s j based on how many ppl chose other schools over tech

[amber moss]

everyone pls go to Yale or something then

[warped portal]

;/ was my top school

[loud rivet]

in state dual enrolled and waitlisted 😔 they really relly dont want me

[warped portal]

I feel ya it so sucky, nd ik ppl w worst stats who got in nd idk what went wrong

[polar shell]

if u meet all the requirements, yes you'll get in when u submit transfer application

https://admission.gatech.edu/transfer/transfer-pathway-faqs

[vague belfry]

any official server for class of 27 admits?

[polar shell]

ill dm u

[amber moss]

tahts actually painful

[crude pilot]

im scared now

GTs randomness is so scary

😭😭

fuck it

im planning to open all my decisions together

on april 1

cuz i have exams to focus on rn

[green knoll]

i'm scared and i'm oos

[crude pilot]

same

deferral sux

[orchid kelp]

Wow

Direct admit or conditional transfer?

[icy schooner]

Bruh WHAT?! I have an A+ in college calculus and they didn't accept me?!

What is GT doing?!

I sometimes wonder if some of the admissions officers purposefully decline good applications because they hate their life.

[eternal axle]

most logical a2cer right here

[crude pilot]

GT is pretty random dw

[stable ridge]

bruh grades aren't everything

[green stag]

direct admit, i got conditional transfer with a severely low SAT

i think it's our ec's that got us accepted

well i wasnt directly accepted but yk

[crude pilot]

true but ik many with great scores, academics, ECs and essays but didnt get in

obviously not yeild protect but

GT always looks for something specific each year

which no one knows

[stable ridge]

fair most people would have good grades

comes down to some randomness

[crude pilot]

he niche chart for GT says a lot lmao

[icy schooner]

Well i have good ec's and lots of volunteering. What else do they want. I also have lots of honors and dual enrollment. I don't know what a school would want more.

[open walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-gif-22469622

Rejected uiuc but got in gatech

[green stag]

congrats!

[tight fog]

that’s how it was for me ☹️

I was rejected early tho

[vague belfry]

i got in gtech but uiuc was defer->wait list

[stable ridge]

tbf most strong applicants have that

they cant admit everyone

[sturdy viper]

i’m probably gonna get a B in calc bc but yeah i have a 76 in physics C rn

[icy schooner]

Tru

Their loss I guess

It's pretty much a lottery

[clever marten]

I had an A+ in ap calc bc when I applied but I just bombed my last test so I have a C+ atm

[slow osprey]

Same

[compact crater]

I feel that rejection pain dawg, but good looks on conditional! Really easy to transfer if u take advantage of it

[livid crater]

well I'm trying to do a gap year program is the problem

and it's only for summer '24

so i couldn't do both

[compact crater]

sorry to hear g. keep ur chin up tho cuz transferring isn’t easy but isn’t nearly as hard as hs applications (if u wanna consider it)

Oh shoot

There isn’t any way u can take gap semesters between the summers and take like 1 or 2 online classes?

summer*

[livid crater]

it's language exchange

[compact crater]

Ohh ok

[livid crater]

i would be in turkey

[compact crater]

Yeah probably won’t work 😹

[livid crater]

i doubt i could get 30 credit hours this summer only

[compact crater]

but regardless, if u wanna transfer, regular transfer is still substantially easier than hs applying

[livid crater]

yeah ik

[compact crater]

How many ap credits would u be going in w

[livid crater]

i wanted to do a cs/ling dual and gt doesn't have ling anyway so I'm not too worried

[compact crater]

Oh ok

Uga does btw

transferred from there 😎

[livid crater]

uhhhh i would have csp csa physics chem apes spanish and econ i believe

plus 2 semesters of gt distance math

and one at chattahoochee tech but i don't think that counts for anything

[compact crater]

solid choice g, go to uga unless u got the 7 year guaranteed at Augusta. I don’t think u will find it hard at uga, was hella easy for me compared to tech

[livid crater]

don't like athens

[compact crater]

haha I gotchu

I hated Athens when I came in too

but it absolutely grew on me

same for most people i knew there

[livid crater]

i like cities and it's a bit car dependent for me

[compact crater]

ah yeah

[livid crater]

only part of uga campus I've been is the music school though

[compact crater]

I love metropolitan urban vibes too, that’s low key why I wanted to come here since 6th grade, but I mean I definitely feel as dependent on a car here as I did in Athens 😹

[livid crater]

fair

[compact crater]

thats just me tho

[livid crater]

my family would be in cobb which is stupid and too racist for marta so i would need to drive for that

[compact crater]

Cuz I go to the gym everyday and I’m interning for my roommate’s startup, which is an aggregated version of Uber eats so we do hella deliveries around midtown

Oh would u plan on commuting?

[livid crater]

no but when i visit

[compact crater]

if u came here?

[livid crater]

also maybe laundry

[compact crater]

Oh ok

[livid crater]

i know someone who commutes from austell though

idk how he does it

[compact crater]

Not bad

Austell is 25 min away from here

So is my crib in Roswell / East marietta

But yeah commuting definitely sucks

[livid crater]

oh that's exactly where i live

were you walton

[compact crater]

nah I was Roswell

[livid crater]

oh you were on the fulton side

[compact crater]

I am Roswell* I just live in Fulton

Yeah

[open walrus]

word same

[compact crater]

East marietta is where it actually hits Cobb

[livid crater]

i live right by that roundabout by Cobb and fulton

[open walrus]

im from jc

[compact crater]

oh ok nice

[livid crater]

johns creek?

i haven't seen that abbreviation

[open walrus]

yeah

Johns creek

[compact crater]

are u going to tech husky

[open walrus]

Eh im not sure

got the pathway

[compact crater]

oh ok nice

[open walrus]

But like

Ga state still hasnt given me my result yet

Kinda odd

[livid crater]

they're going crazy with the transfer pathways this year

[open walrus]

Fr

[clever marten]

gt?

[open walrus]

50% i might go to purdue though

[livid crater]

yeag

purdue denied my first choice :(

i love cs it is a complete lottery

[open walrus]

😢😢

I wanna go back to georgia but

[clever marten]

I somehow got lucky twice

[livid crater]

i am trying to get out of georgia

[open walrus]

probably not going gatech if i dont get instate

[compact crater]

Yo reminds me, if y’all tryna join tech’s transfer discord I gotchu. hopefully this isn’t breaking any rule advertising this, but the tech transfer homies are clutch asffff if u considering transfer, just made up of a few transfer tech dudes who answer a lot of questions about transfer on the daily so dm me if y’all want it

[livid crater]

maybe

idk if I'll do it

[clever marten]

just dm them the invite if they ask

[compact crater]

ye

[open walrus]

Ah man

[compact crater]

solid choice

[open walrus]

yeah

Locations shitty though

[compact crater]

yeah

[open walrus]

Eh chicagos not that far away

[compact crater]

I mean I have a homeboy who goes to Purdue and he really likes it

He was finna transfer to tech since he somehow got rejected w that 36 act but he liked Purdue a lot

applies to a lot of people tho, it’s crazy how the first and second semesters of a college outside of tech changes their view

I got rejected the first time from applying to transfer here since I never had conditional and I was about to call it right after and just finish up at uga

[clever marten]

when I got into purdue, I sincerely thought that’s where I would end up going

great school

completely different environment from GT

sort of similar to UMich in the sense the town is almost completely made up of college students

their approach to teaching is a bit different too

[slim nymph]

could you elaborate please

[clever marten]

I don’t want to say Georgia Tech isn’t collaborative but Purdue fosters the teamwork mindset a lot better than most stem programs

keep in mind, I’m really only speaking for CS because that’s what I know the most about

[winged sedge]

after getting 2 rejections yesterday i am quite thankful that i got into my state school and transfer pathway for GT lol 🙏

[loud rivet]

someone give me hope for hetting off the waitlist as an engineering major 😔😔😔😔

[warped portal]

^^

[gloomy coral]

Kill admitted students until you get in

[green stag]

Lmao 💀

[clever marten]

https://tenor.com/7xdm.gif

[compact crater]

yeah college towns are sooooo fun

speaking from my experience at uga

everyone be boolin in college towns

metrocomplexes like midtown are a bit more uh ...

ubiquitous?

[clever marten]

bummed I’d be missing out on any real aspect of social life in any of my top schools

[vague belfry]

Yea from what I’ve heard going to GT is sacrificing any chance at a social life lol

Rly unfortunate

[remote dawn]

😭

[slim urchin]

wait for gt is it that the earlier u commit the better housing u get?

[vernal summit]

yes

you need to commit and then pay the housing deposit to get a better spot in line to pick housing

[slim urchin]

crap

im committing may 1 bro

[vernal summit]

Yeah I'm not able to commit until April

Gonna get stuck in some old run-down dorm

[open walrus]

same fr

[clever marten]

doesn’t matter if you get a good roommate

[vernal summit]

True but I’m not 100% going to go to gt so I would feel back getting a roommate setup then backing out for another college and making them find another roommate much later

[crude pilot]

bro i j want GT

fuck housing

we'll live on the T of Tech Tower for a while

but admission first😭

[hazy vector]

do yall have some conspiracy theories when GT comes out for non georgia residents

I think last year they came out mid march

[green knoll]

it's been explicitly stated rd gtech for oos will be before march 24th

[crude pilot]

conspiracy theories💀💀💀

brother did u not get the email?

[hazy vector]

OH YEAH i totally forgot lmao

[hazy vector]

Yeah i got it I totally forgot lmao

[remote dawn]

Housing app are the earlier the better 😩

So Gl with roomates

[crude pilot]

cant help it when they defer me😭

[vernal summit]

Conspiracy 💀 lmao

[dense grove]

23 days left!!!!

[spare badger]

isn't it on the 24th?

[dense grove]

wait really

i was just assuming late march

[spare badger]

yes they sent me an email

they don't have an exact date yet but 24th is the latest

[green stag]

good luck!

[dense grove]

based

cant wait for my rejection!!!!!

[spare badger]

manifesting jackets dropping all over my screen when i open my decision 🤞

[patent tundra]

same

if i dont see them jackets, finna start singing left and right

[mystic dragon]

good luck!

[hazy vector]

Lmao

[vernal summit]

Actually tho, this whole college application process feels like a whole conspiracy 💀

[mystic dragon]

when is financial aid coming out?

[sturdy viper]

guysssss

if i end this semester with a 78 (c) in calc bc and a 76 (c) in physics c, will i get rescinded 😭

[strange forge]

A C is a passing grade so likely not. But two might be concerning

[vernal summit]

Unlikely but, I wouldn’t risk it I’d there is anything you can do to get those up a little

[sturdy viper]

thakns for the advice 🫡

[strange forge]

If you can get the 78 up to a B you should be good

[sturdy viper]

yeah i gotta lock in a bit ngl but theres a good chance i can get one to a B

how bout just 1 c?

[strange forge]

I wouldn’t worry too much. Certainly not an auto-rescind

But they may still be a little unhappy

Just do your best

[sturdy viper]

lowkey i have senioriits 💀

[strange forge]

Don’t we all

[sturdy viper]

will i be screwed with 2 Cs (still gonna try and get them up)

[vague belfry]

for what it's worth, anyone stressing about housing, there's only two good dorms anyways and those are typically gone with the first week of housing deposits anyone

[vague belfry]

yo same i might get a c in ib math lol

which is calc 2

[strange forge]

Likely not. It usually isn’t trouble until Ds I think

[vague belfry]

dont think they will rescind tho

[strange forge]

Especially if you have As for everything else

[vague belfry]

i highkey have senorities

got 6 classes, like 4 or 5 are gonna be B's lol

and i'm fully bombing my IA's so probably not gonna get my IB diploma lol

[sturdy viper]

i mean calc is gonna be a 78 soon but tech and society and mentorship are literally free on levels but the rest will prob be As

[vernal summit]

Yo, StudentVUE!?! That cursed us looks awfully familiar

[sturdy viper]

damn i have 6 too and 2 of them i gotta lock in to get to a B 😭

[vernal summit]

Never seen another school with it too lol

[sturdy viper]

yeah thats student view lmao im in georgia

[strange forge]

If you get calc back up to a B I don’t think you’ll have a problem

[sturdy viper]

bet thank you alan

[vernal summit]

Nice I’m in KS and we used that too

[sturdy viper]

r any of yall instate

[vague belfry]

yea

i am

[sturdy viper]

what school

i think i heard of it

[vague belfry]

oh yea i took the act there lol

[sturdy viper]

damnnn

do u folow the gtbio2027 insta page

[vague belfry]

yes

[sturdy viper]

im tryna figure out who to dorm w

i havent submitted my thingy yet to their page yet tho

[vague belfry]

i havent either

dm me ur insta or smth

[tight fog]

boutta do that if my financial aid looks any good 🙏

[polar shell]

Isn’t it April

[mystic dragon]

what if you got EA?

[polar shell]

i dont think it matters

[mystic dragon]

Not a lot of time to make your decision before May 1. hmmmm....

[ivory mortar]

Is it true that there’s no social life at Georgia tech

[mystic dragon]

What do u mean by "social life"?

[gloomy coral]

parties and shit?

[crude pilot]

there are enough imo

not ucla level social life

and if ur coming for that then u prolly shouldnt choose GT lol

but the social life aint non existent as well

worst case scenario, emory is near by

[gloomy coral]

Yea LMAO

GT 🙏 pls take me in

[remote dawn]

When is RD oos

[crude pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-fail-crying-tired-drama-gif-25912086

please

[clever marten]

24th?

[rough galleon]

24th gonna be mad crazy for me

basically all my rds on that day lol

[remote dawn]

Oh I see, Gl to all ❤️

[jolly imp]

for any current students, does gt allow negotiations with finaid offers through matching with other offers from other schools? (@/reply me please)

[languid cedar]

funnily enough emory students come to tech to party

[strange forge]

Isn’t Emory much more Greek though?

[languid cedar]

there does exist social life… it largely depends on if you yourself want to get involved. Sure many people are the more nerdy type who don’t particularly enjoy going out so it may seem like there’s not much social life but if you want to there will be something for you. But don’t expect frats to be like the ones at Alabama or somethin

[green knoll]

tbh i want to come to gtech also because my grandma is a short drive away 🥹

[languid cedar]

idk ab percentages, it probably similar, but I’ve heard Greek life at Emory is not as good. Like their sororities don’t really have houses and lots of them come to tech on weekends

[strange forge]

Hmm interesting

[languid cedar]

GT kinda just gives the “nerdy” vibe from outside but like you’ll find your group

[strange forge]

I’m only gonna go to GT if I suddenly decide I like engineering

Because it probably isn’t worth it for finance

[languid cedar]

some of my friends went to visit other colleges like unc and they have said their parties are hella dry compared to at GT but it again depends on ur group

yea idk much ab finance here, prob only worth if ur in state

or if u have scholarship

[strange forge]

If I double majored with CS, CE, or IE it might be worth it. But that’s a brutal workload

[languid cedar]

although tbf it’s not bad

[strange forge]

I have a lot of credit which would help

50k oos isn’t terrible

[languid cedar]

yeah I would not recommend a double major here, especially since having two majors is really only marginally beneficial

it’s not even really 50k, more like 45k

[strange forge]

CS and Finance is a killer combo tho

[languid cedar]

and yeah it’s a nice deal for an OOS school

CS by itself gets hella recruited to a lot of the trading firms if that’s what u mean

[strange forge]

My best two schools now are GT and UNC. Unfortunately they split because UNC is leagues better for finance but GA tech is literally t5 for cs and engineering

[languid cedar]

u can also do the denning t&m program

I wouldn’t say our finance is bad, but not what we’re known for. And the t&m program is really good looks

[strange forge]

Yeah Scheller is fine but it’s worse than my in-state Wisco

[languid cedar]

minor in business in a concentration and major in cs or engineering

[strange forge]

I just don’t know if I’m up to the task of engineering

[languid cedar]

yeah. If you’re unsure, GT allows major changes really easily. Though if ur pretty set on finance or a business major then maybe consider other options

[strange forge]

I’m mostly chasing the outcome

So like a t5 engineering school like GT is great

But I did mostly apply to good finance schools

[languid cedar]

by outcome u mean money or your ideal job?

[strange forge]

Money

And an enjoyable job

Eventually

I know finance is a grind at first

[languid cedar]

I feel finance is largely dependent on school and pretty hard to break into those Wall Street jobs unless ur from a T5

it’s certainly many hours

[strange forge]

But I also like the idea of cybersecurity and the starting salary from GT in that is like 100k+

Besides it surely has amazing startup opportunities

[languid cedar]

yea there’s not really a wrong route, just depends what you really want to do

startup stuff is good here too

[strange forge]

This may be moot if I somehow get a t10 later this month. But I really do like GA tech, it’s just that I’d end up doing something totally different than if I went anywhere else, for better or worse

[languid cedar]

yeah that’s fair. Pursue what interests u as the first priority

[strange forge]

Yup. I appreciate your insight

[languid cedar]

fs, gl with the rest of ur apps

[strange forge]

Thanks

[vague belfry]

@strange forge I’m doing finance major cs minor

think I’ll get recruited decently from that

[strange forge]

That's a solid combo. I'm just concerned a CS minor doesn't have enough weight

Vs a CS major/ some business minor

But GA tech recruiting is good so it probably works out fine either way

[vague belfry]

Ehhhh depends where you want to work

I want to work as a quant at a prop firm or IB so think it’s fine

[strange forge]

Getting into quant out of undergrad is hard

And IB from GA tech is hard

But it can be done

[languid cedar]

quant recruiting out of GT is good, tho most ppl who go into quant are cs majors. You still need to be top of ur class bc quant is inherently ridiculous to break into, though GT is kinda a feeder to some quant and they only recruit from select schools.

[hazy vector]

you should do CS major finance minor imo

[vague belfry]

ehh

I’m a finance kid at heart

I’ll find where I’m supposed to be even if it’s not IB or quant

[mellow coyote]

For CS, most workplaces are willing to recruit non cs majors, it just depends on your skill set

Ik people who went to faang and other big companies while having a biostat, IS and other such degrees

But if u want a more tech/engineering route then go GT but otherwise a finance major and a CS minor at UNC is absolutely goated

[strange forge]

Thats what im looking at right now for UNC. Likely where I'll go unless I get in somewhere better

[mellow coyote]

Yeah

And also UNC gets really good recruiters as well

The RTP has grown so much in the last few years with so many new tech companies,

[sonic ferry]

How comp is GT Chem?

/biochem

[hazy vector]

That’s what matters most.

[crude pilot]

i feel you

but

denning t&m my g

its really cool

either way, our spot at UNC finance isnt confirmed

so might as well try for denning in 1st year

worst case scenario you still got a great CS program

whereas in unc if u dont get in to your major....transfering looks like the only viable option

[slow osprey]

Finally got GaTech physical mail

[gloomy coral]

That's hype dude

[crude pilot]

oh wow intl get mail?

[strange forge]

Yeah but you'd have to really fuck up to not get in KF

[crude pilot]

getting into KF that easy?

i lowkey thought CS and KF are gonna be mad competitive for me

i wanted to do a CS and Finance double major like u too

and the uncertainty of major is really making me second guess unc

im atp where i think rutgers biz+CS is better cuz at least its sure shot

[strange forge]

It's like a 40-50% acceptance rate and you can reapply if you don't get it the first time

You have to be focused on getting in KF but if you pass with almost all As and join a few clubs, you'll be fine

Unfortunately KF costs an extra $1k/semester too

[crude pilot]

damn

but the roi for cs+finance is high

so im not that worried about the cost

my parents are luckily willing to cover it

[crude pilot]

hahaha i'll be damn focussed when i know my future payroll depends on it😭😭

[slow osprey]

I thought we don't but yes we do

[strange forge]

That's what I'm thinking

UNC isn't a super hard school either

[tight fog]

has tech started spring break already? Idk if I should be expecting an email back anytime soon or not

[slim urchin]

yea

well technically it starts on Monday but yes this is the final week yk

[crude pilot]

nicee

[crude pilot]

if thats the case then fair enough

also

as an OOS/Intl admit

i think my stats are way higher than most other non a2c instate unc kids

so i think we'll make the 30-40% cut

without prior knowledge in biz lol💀

[strange forge]

Exactly. The average SAT of KF is like 1450. We'll have no trouble getting in

Just talk to your advisor day 1, make a plan to get in KF, and apply it

[crude pilot]

makes sense, thanks btw

1450 easy

[austere badge]

whats kf ?

[crude pilot]

kenan flager

unc biz school

[austere badge]

ohhh

[crude pilot]

yepp

[austere badge]

unc should be pretty easy compared to gatech

[crude pilot]

i guess so

hopefully getting CS +Finance is easy, cuz thats easy money then😭

[mellow coyote]

CS isn’t that competitive. I heard everyone who got at least C’s in their pre reqs was accepted so it’s honestly just weeding out people who aren’t made for CS

Which I see as a good thing bcuz I’m not worried abt if I will be accepted or not bcuz that just means you’re not cut out for it

[patent tundra]

guys what is this years acceptance rate for Aerospace engineering

[amber moss]

89%

[patent tundra]

damn thats crazy

but fr tho what is it

[polar shell]

i dont think the numbers are out

[crude pilot]

ahh then fair enough

no worries then

[last orchid]

When does GA Tech come out next Friday ?

[carmine gale]

Isn’t it next next Friday

[tidal tangle]

doesnt georgia tech historically release decisions on second friday of march so its today?

wait

i have no clue

[crude pilot]

its on march 24th

fuck fridays

march 24 is the date

y'all need to open your mail more often smh

[tidal tangle]

yeah i read that its just the wording is "no later than"

i might just be coping

[crude pilot]

coping

[boreal socket]

4th friday usually

they said 26th march last year and released on 25th

[craggy yoke]

Yeah isnt estimated the 24th

[patent tundra]

any mf here taking the IB diploma who got accepted / rejected

[elder glade]

a friend of mine last year got into g tech with the ib diploma

44 expected 45 actual tho

[radiant flower]

Is out of state financ aid fucked or what

I am so fucked ☠️

[vague belfry]

public state school dont got much aid money

they're already heavily discount the cost of a degree for in state students

[severe knot]

Deferred

[stable ridge]

same

[patent tundra]

what was ur predicted

[severe knot]

IB 45/45
1540
5 APs all 5s

[patent tundra]

bro how tf everybody here is getting +40 on the IB while its probs the most challenging high school diploma

yall are some weird mfs bro

[severe knot]

Just 4 in my school
No one who isn't comfortable sharing would share, entire server is full of us

[elder glade]

Lol

[severe knot]

sad man, International Asian male Cs in the bin

[patent tundra]

bro cuz everytime I ask for someone's IB score on this server they be telling 42 - 45

shit makes me wanna kms

[severe knot]

Hey man, don't worry

Don't forget they compare you regionally, your school, your area, city .. country

Some schools hand out really inflated predicteds, they AOs know what they;re doing

If you've done comparatively better than most people you know in your proximity then look forward to decisions, ignore the stuff on here

[delicate summit]

^

[delicate summit]

Sweaty schools prpbably

[heady walrus]

My school has massive grade inflation, like 10-11/58 of my graduating class have 40+/42 preficted

[patent tundra]

my schools predicted are the harshest

but usually its only 1 point 2 points max difference from the predicetd ones

either above or below

[clever marten]

how I go to sleep knowing I don’t have to deal with IB bullshit

[craggy yoke]

how good is gatech bme

btw

i shouldve asked this earlier

😭

but jw

[delicate summit]

Lucky

My school has massive grade deflation

[heady walrus]

tbh we kinda fucked our juniors over lol cuz when our grades drop in finals we'll either be blacklisted and/or they get deflated preds

[crude pilot]

top of the top ive heard

next to johns hopkins

[craggy yoke]

But like

Is it small classs ize

Easy to get research positins

[crude pilot]

not posted on their site?

[craggy yoke]

Isn’t that generalized

[crude pilot]

check the bme schools stats prolly

[vague belfry]

Yes I got accepted

[vague belfry]

Don’t worry

I didn’t do predicted but I’m not sure I’ll even get the 24 points to pass

[patent tundra]

congrats homie

[patent tundra]

are you intl

[vague belfry]

No

[patent tundra]

makes sense then

[upper hearth]

idek why i applied here

[placid swallow]

Does GT match other schools in terms of money? Or can you negotiate aid with them using other schools.

[wide nebula]

Yooo same

[vague belfry]

Am I gonna get rescinded for straight B’s

[orchid kelp]

nah

[vague belfry]

what abt a C as well

unlikely but just curious

since im struggling w calc bc i stopped caring abt school

💀

[heady kestrel]

Any information through counsellors about decision release?

[slim urchin]

yeah im also curious about this

all b’s, one C?

[strange forge]

If you applied with all As it's gonna look bad

But probably not bad enough to get rescinded

Getting more than one C would probably mean needing to write a letter explaining

And that's even possibly necessary with all B's but I doubt it

[vague belfry]

me too dawg

just keep them up as much as you can ig

[oak ore]

I think we can get decisions this week

[bleak yoke]

How do you know?

[oak ore]

Last week it came for instate

This week mostly intl

[heady kestrel]

🤞

[spare badger]

nah it's confirmed for the 24th

[oak ore]

Is it?

In the mail they just told before 24th ppl will get

[vague belfry]

Oh

[blissful schooner]

i thought gt comes after uga always

[crude pilot]

i have given up on colleges

im opening everything together on ivy day

💀💀

fuck release dates, i'll open them when i feel like😭

[steady flame]

The wording on the decision date in the portal changed from "by March 24" to "March 24", so I'm p sure its confirmed for that date now

[vague belfry]

the anxiety is gonna eat you away

💀

[wide nebula]

Me fr

[strange forge]

Yeah but we all know when you feel like is the minute they come out 💀

Not one person here has the patience to wait for all decisions before opening

[vague belfry]

this fr

unless you have emails disabled

[crude pilot]

probably

but im trying to not open it till ivy day by hook or by crook

my mum will open all decisions in case i get any waitlists and they need immediate action

[crude pilot]

💯💯

[crude pilot]

then i shall prove u wrong

i've made a promise to myself and im gonna try my best to hold it

i think i can

cuz

[wide nebula]

I’ve not opened any since mit

[crude pilot]

when purdue was supposed to come out

i didnt care

so i wont

i wont open them till the end

[wide nebula]

This is the way

[crude pilot]

that way i'll lose the value of the decision and hence be less disappointed even if i dont get in

[crude pilot]

respect that

[wide nebula]

Oh wait I lied I opened uw this weekend lol

But other than that

!!

[crude pilot]

fair enough ur allowed one lol

[mild tendon]

Confirmed 24th

Thank you again for your application to Georgia Tech. We are currently in the process of holistically reviewing all remaining applications for our 2023 first-year class.

Admission decisions will be released Friday, March 24, 2023 at 7 p.m. ET via your admission portal.

[hot sage]

That email got me for a bit lmao

[sick umbra]

now i have that and the jpegmafia album to look forward to

[slow osprey]

are decisions time sensitive? eg: waitlist

[wide nebula]

Don’t burst his happy bubble :((

[oak ore]

Guys is there any way we can see our decision before hand ??

[boreal socket]

yeah. GT gave me ~10 days to accept my waitlist spot last year

[oak ore]

Wait u took a gap year??

[boreal socket]

yep

[wide nebula]

Yes, if you go outside at exactly 2:60 AM on a day when there is a waning crescent moon, and you wear an outfit made entirely of raw meat, and you spin in circles singing Dance Till You’re Dead, an ethereal being known only as the “Georgia Tech Prophet” will float down from heaven and tell you

I tried it last night it worked well

[crude pilot]

yes

my mom will accept it for me

[oak ore]

Sounds fun will give it a try today 🤣🤣🤣

[crude pilot]

she will open all my decisions as they come lol

[oak ore]

I wish rejection letters were like this;

[wide nebula]

My mom would just be accepting my rejection for me 😦

[crude pilot]

u never know bro

[slow osprey]

ohh cool then

[slow osprey]

lmaoo no intentions to
I was thinking abt opening all at once but thought they're time sensitive so didnt do that

[slow osprey]

best

[crude pilot]

yeahh

so no worries

[fluid eagle]

guys is the GT conditional transfer pathway guaranteed?

[amber moss]

I think so

[rough galleon]

yea but u gotta meet their requirements like gpa and stuff i think

[stable ridge]

can international students get that?

[fluid eagle]

I don’t know

Ik it’s offered to anyone with siblings and above average stats

*siblings at GT

but there is a guaranteed transfer for general students without alumni

[tepid gorge]

screw MIT

GT better

georgia tech stfu about my sis password expiring

I got rejected by you

[sinful tendon]

do i need a georgia tech account? only just noticed

dont need finaid

i have the admissions portal, but only just noticed the banner at the bottom

[clever marten]

you should have one set up for oscar

but I don't think you absolutely have to

[sinful tendon]

hm ok

where can i find the gtid number?

do i need one?

[clever marten]

admission portal iirc

[sinful tendon]

yep, just found it. thanks!

it can't find me in the system

hm

[clever marten]

try signing in on this: https://oscar.gatech.edu/

[sinful tendon]

perfect, it detected that the account wasnt active and im updating password etc

thanks

[clever marten]

no problem! glad I could help

[gray thunder]

Why does the financial aid tab have a pay now option

[austere badge]

idts

[green stag]

what does a rejection letter look like

[craggy yoke]

We had a record amount of applicants this year, and unfortunately, we cannot admit them all. We regret to inform you that we cannot offer you admission.

[green stag]

oh okay thanks

[eternal axle]

did u get wl?

there is also a personalized video if u get in on the portal

yep

a girl who got into berk early

got a full ride from scu

[green stag]

Thanks

[atomic portal]

if i got into business is that binding

like can i switch majors

[green stag]

yes

best thing about ga tech is u can switch to whatever major u want

although i've heard during sophomore year it gets competitive to switch to CS so keep that in mind

[ocean cargo]

when u commit u confirm ur major

[atomic portal]

but i got into the business school i believe

[ocean cargo]

and u can switch to like any major

[slender marten]

it’s not competitive tbh it’s just they get stricter the longer you’ve been at tech

[ocean cargo]

like i got in as an EAS major but like if i wanted to i can switch to CS before freshman orientation if i ended up committing to tech

[slender marten]

when u enroll you get a form to confirm or switch your major to anything

[ocean cargo]

mhmm

[atomic portal]

damn really?

[ocean cargo]

yeah!

[slender marten]

idk y u would tho tbh scheller is so good

[atomic portal]

so just to confirm, even though i got into the business school, i can change majors?

[slender marten]

yes

[atomic portal]

i wanna do more quant finance

in that case cs major finance minor

[slender marten]

ic

yeah u can switch very easily

[atomic portal]

i also got into utaustin which is better business so idk

[ocean cargo]

the world is your oyster

[slender marten]

tech is far better for quant i know that much

[sonic ferry]

Have you guys ever been to the breakfast club in Atlanta

?

[ocean cargo]

let me@put that on my list

[atomic portal]

quant is good cause money LOL

but you gotta be crazy at math and i’m not amazing at math

[slender marten]

tech will make u so good at math

i have a few friends who failed calc and stat in hs but are now math majors at tech bc the profs are just that much better

[atomic portal]

damnn

[slender marten]

is tech or ut cheaper for you

[atomic portal]

i’m from new jersey so both are similar i think

this is still crazy to me LOL

cause theoretically cant you apply to a non competitive major and then switch majors?

[slender marten]

yes

[ocean cargo]

yes u can!

[atomic portal]

this is one of the only schools where i've seen such a laxed major switch

[ocean cargo]

but ur like app is so dependent on ur major so its like kinda sus if u like are super cs in ur ecs but then apply like english

or maybe i’m just overthinking it

[atomic portal]

oh ok thats fair

nah i think you're right

[slender marten]

and some ppl do switch right after acceptance but tech often won’t let you in unless your desired major lines up with your application.. so like i had a lot of business ecs but if i applied biology i probably would not have been accepted

[atomic portal]

my app was focused on business but i showed i was also into cs

like in my essay i said i wanted to do the business + cs program

which you have to apply to

[slender marten]

yup t&m

[atomic portal]

did you get in for business?

[slender marten]

i did

[atomic portal]

congrats

[slender marten]

but i’m instate

[atomic portal]

in state?

oh ok nice

[slender marten]

yeah so it’s easier for me but also so cheap

[atomic portal]

honestly georgia tech is a pretty good option then

are you looking to go into finance?

[slender marten]

almost every ga resident at tech gets a full tuition scholarship from the state of ga

probably tbh

[atomic portal]

wow thats amazing

esp since tech is a rlly good school too

[slender marten]

kinda want to do marketing and finance

[atomic portal]

so im intending to go to finance too

but i heard for finance they're looking for more technical people (cs, math, physics)

so maybe major cs minor finance

but i have no clue

[slender marten]

yeah i interviews for a business deans scholarship and at the event we had like a current student panel and business school tour and it honestly is incredible

interviewed*

[atomic portal]

thats so cool

i didnt get a scholarship 😔

[slender marten]

i get that they definitely were putting their best foot forward but the programs they offer are just unparalleled

[atomic portal]

i was thinking ut austin over tech but now im second guessing myself

[slender marten]

i didn’t either yet tbh i don’t find out til later if i got deans

[atomic portal]

oh i see

i didnt even get interviewed lol

[slender marten]

ut is like 63k oos i think? but gt is under 50 (barely)

[atomic portal]

yeah i mean i dont think cost is that significant of a factor for me

like i think its prestige and opportunities over cost

[slender marten]

i mean both are urban setting but when it comes to roi tech is just so much better

[atomic portal]

also i got into business honors at austin

which is only for like the top 200 ppl

thats why its hard to choose as of now

[slender marten]

tech is #1 for career development in the nation.. at my interview event literally every student i spoke to was on their like 3rd internship already

[slender marten]

that’s insane

[atomic portal]

damnnn

yeh i saw the email tech sent

pretty persuasive ngl

[slender marten]

it’s so hard to turn that down tho

[atomic portal]

yeah

honestly though, i have a lot of RD decisions, so maybe something will sway me

is there any other finance major thats a bit more techy? ill have to take a look

so switching majors is basically confirmed right? like if you switch a major you'll most likely get the major especially if you do it soon

[tight fog]

living a state away, unlucky ☹️

[slender marten]

timeframe doesn’t matter. if you switch when you enroll you will 100% get that major

[atomic portal]

alr tysm

[sturdy viper]

ngl i need a room mate for tech 😭

[polar shell]

[crude pilot]

yeah

[wide nebula]

Thanks for letting me know

[crude pilot]

yeah i prolly got into their intl programs

who wants that ew

i wanrt GT

[wide nebula]

Wait… you mean to tell me that GT_simp wants GT?

Wild stuff

I also want gt but it’s not gonna happen for me haha

[crude pilot]

😭😭😭

[crude pilot]

why?

never asked your stats

mind sharing them in dms?

[wide nebula]

Sure, not bad stats just losing hope a little

[crude pilot]

okay same lol

[rough galleon]

1/3000 chance

[worthy arch]

a usc moment

[rough galleon]

fr?

how many did usc admit

[rough galleon]

this should include deferrals right?

it says "Students who applied in Regular Decision" tho

[boreal socket]

literally says "or were deferred" right after that 😭

[rough galleon]

O_O

i dont deserve acceptance

:(

[icy schooner]

Your right

[icy schooner]

That math is wrong 😭

[rough galleon]

dw im smart i promise 🤓

just keeping u guys on your toes

[crude pilot]

21% or smtng chances for deferred kids i've heard

[heady kestrel]

20%

mentioned on their deffered FAQ

[slim urchin]

y’all have a good chance

[heady kestrel]

I hope so

[patent tundra]

how competitive is Aerospace engineering in GT

for intl

[heady kestrel]

all engineering is competitive

almost every course is competitive for international

[wide nebula]

This all very true

[patent tundra]

so its the same chances for all types of engineering

[boreal socket]

more competitive than most other majors

[sonic ferry]

What abt biochem

For college of sciences

[green knoll]

is physics competitive?

[tepid gorge]

you get accepted to GT not by major

and once you get in, you can switch to any major (except music theory) when you do the major enrollment form

[vague belfry]

wut

michigan is april i thought?

[crude pilot]

no one knows for sure

and april 1 is too late for mich

historically has come out before that

[cosmic geode]

Heard rumors it’s today or next Friday

[winter salmon]

its 24th

for GT at least

[heady kestrel]

Thank you again for your application to Georgia Tech. We are currently in the process of holistically reviewing all remaining applications for our 2023 first-year class.

[spare badger]

idc about anything else bro i just want gt

though it's very unlikely: (

[crude pilot]

same bro same

[wide hollow]

GT is my last resort and dream rn

Lets hope all of us get accepted 🕯️ 🕯️

[upper hearth]

guys if I get in as an econ major can I switch to cs?

[strange forge]

Yes

[upper hearth]

lmao lets gooooo

better than berkeley

[strange forge]

Literally the easiest way to bag a top 5 CS school

Still not easy per se

But relatively easier than applying for CS or some convoluted major change application at another school

[upper hearth]

wait I thought it was top 6

[strange forge]

I suppose. But Berkeley truly sucks even if the program itself is good

[upper hearth]

i'd rather go to stanford fr

[strange forge]

Every CS class is overfilled

At berkeley

No housing

Everything is done by TAs

[upper hearth]

literally homeless people everywhere

depression

[strange forge]

Crazy campus and culture

[upper hearth]

understaffed

[strange forge]

It's really a pit

[upper hearth]

yeah

[strange forge]

But job placement is 😘

[upper hearth]

is it really tho

i've never looked into it

[strange forge]

Yes. Haas and CS are truly top tier

[upper hearth]

I just assumed since they have so many kids that it wouldn't be that good just due to the sheer number of grads

oh yeah

haas

[strange forge]

And it's excellent at everything else still

[upper hearth]

the school they're making more competitve my year due to direct admit

augh I hate how berkeley had to make everythign harder just the year i get accepted

[strange forge]

That's the other thing. You can get in and get utterly fucked over if you don't get accepted to your program

Imagine not getting into Haas after your first two years

Like wtf are you gonna do

[upper hearth]

literally

like what am I gonna do with an econ major from berkeley

[strange forge]

Berkeley econ is good but it's a far cry from haas

[upper hearth]

like i don't think it even counts as a target school for ib

yeah

so sad

rip berkeley dreams

it was nice romanticizing it for a good month

<3

[strange forge]

Sorry I don't mean to ruin your image of it because it is a good school and most students like it. It's a massive W to be accepted

But

It has it's share of problems for sure

[upper hearth]

oh no, I found all this out like a month ago

the high demand major thing killed it for me tho

[strange forge]

Do you want to do finance?

Or cs?

[upper hearth]

yeqah

cs was my backup

i was just planning lscs if i didn't get haas

but eh

who knows

[strange forge]

Damn just suffer through it at Berkeley then it's probably worth it

[upper hearth]

for what?

the cs?

I'd rather go to an ivy

even though they have plenty of problems of their own

but at least you aren't limited so much like you are at berkeley because admin can't get their heads out of their asses

[strange forge]

Have you seen georgia techs m&t program?

[upper hearth]

no

I didn't apply to any because my profile was like purely business

is it any good

[strange forge]

I've heard it is

I applied to tech and got in for finance but if I do go to GT I'm gonna probably switch majors lol

Computer engineering salaries are crazy

[upper hearth]

lowkey I might just go from finance bro to tech bro

work life balance is soooo much better

[strange forge]

Fintech bro 🤑

[orchid kelp]

Tied for 5th for undergrad

[tepid gorge]

When do financial aid packages come out

[fallow lance]

tbh this is only a problem for lower div classes at the beginning and after that it thins out

[fallow lance]

this is defo an issue

[fallow lance]

yh 2nd highest overall after caltech

caltech stanford and berk got those silicon valley jobs

tbf the only reason mit is so low there students end up starting up more companies instead of joining or getting employed but yh

[fallow lance]

why not apply EECS ?

[rotund wren]

what's this based off of

[green delta]

https://www.ivyachievement.com/computer-science-rankings/

i think this is where @fallow lance got it from

[crimson wolf]

average starting cs salaray is at like >100k now for the top schools

inflation is crazy

[heady kestrel]

Georgia Tech please pull through

Make up for ucLa🫡

[slim urchin]

link?

nvm

[crude pilot]

[gloomy coral]

😔 you play the cards you were dealt with in life

It's gonna be allright man

[crude pilot]

😭😭

true

[hidden swift]

gtech defer to acceptance chances??

[cerulean python]

rooting for gtech acc

[crude pilot]

GT babyyy

UCs sucked

[heady walrus]

good luck

[crude pilot]

thankss

[tardy glade]

Want to ask too

[tardy glade]

Yes

Rejected from la, wl SD

[loud rivet]

basically j regular rd chances

[spare badger]

it's historically been around a quarter

or a third at the max

[crude pilot]

eesh

i researched into it more

and found out

i technically havent gotten into any UC

i got ucsd for undeclared and getting CS is close to impossible in first year

its a mega capped major

then uci is waitlist

and ucla reject💀

yuck

who cares

GT better

[tight fog]

Early April

Like first week

[hidden swift]

wait that’s actually pretty good

[crude pilot]

try not to get hopes up challenge (impossible)
