Tbf tho you do get compared to the rest of the country for most college admissions
#Georgia Tech (GATech) (2023-2024)

Each applicant is assessed on the basis of achievements and potential in a broad range of categories, viewed in the context of the opportunities and challenges the applicant faced. This is from their website. So, in that context, an underprivileged region with be pooled together with other underprivileged regions to find the best candidate. So ig you are correct. But, you also have to study what is the most popular major for each income bracket. This is just one strata, but I don't know how they will be grouping candidates. Tbh it's more or less a black box.
But UIUC says this. We consider your background.
This includes your educational environment, veteran status, geographic location, and first-generation status. We want to continue to provide an atmosphere that values students who have a unique set of experiences and knowledge.

aye goated advice, what i would say too
i think im either doing intel modsim or intel device
im not 100% sure yet
was gonna do intel theory but idk
steep quartz
if you like math a lot do theory
otherwise dont bother lol
if you like stats prob intel modsim
late stone
im thinking of working in embedded AI which basically needs all 3
steep quartz
you could probably take devices classes as electives. would be sorta hard because GT CS is uh... extremely bloated, but it's technically possible i think
or modsim, whichever one you dont choose
steep quartz
if all else fails you can definitely find some project you can either join or observe probably
steep quartz
theres pretty big intersect so yeah
mental belfry
how much emphasis does gt place on their essay
is it equally important to common app essay or less
worthy comet
Everything is holistic
I went to one of their tours and they did say that one thing they don’t put as much emphasis on is test scores
Because submitting scores are mandated by the state Georgia, it holds less weight
One thing they do care about though is leadership positions and commitment to the community
So I would assume that your gpa and essays “count” more than stuff like scores
mental belfry
I feel worried because i think every single part of my app is very strong
but looking back the why gt essay was my weakest
because it wasnt that personal to me
and as oos cs applicant i hope that isnt the rejecting factor

theres an intel thread in CS
instate boost is HYUGE

also they say they "dont admit by major" but they also say they take major into account and want a balanced student body so
its BASICALLY admit by major. also the new policy changes to CS basically make CS an admit by major
dont know about the EA boost though

possibly lower
36% for instate, 12% for OOS

last year the acceptance rate for EA2 was 10%
tbf RD includes instate kids
its def harder for oos to go rd than eaii
i think
steep quartz
thats true but im assuming theyre talking about OOS only
wait
i misread what you wrote
late stone
ok wait
ea2 is prob better than rd for OOS kids
rd is a higher rate since it also has instate kids
who get a boost automatically
steep quartz
but either way i dont think thats true
last year, EA2 was 10%. the acceptance rate for OOS as a whole was 12%. That must mean in regular decision there had to have been a larger percentage than EA2
we didnt get stats for OOS in RD
but simple math tells us that it must be so

fair enough

lone root
I would mention other stuff too. 4641 is just an intro to ML course, which a lot of other schools offer as well. Maybe talk about the intelligence thread or ML professors who u want to do research with
worthy comet
is it enough to mention CS 4641 course
Anybody can name drop a course in my opinion, it’s becoming more and more cliche and in a couple of years it’ll be a big no-no
If it’s in the curriculum or program of studies, don’t mention it bc everyone’s taking it. Rather, mention a research opportunity with a professor or an elective most students don’t take
But tie it back into YOU. What have you done in high school? What are you passionate about? How will that specifically benefit you and how will that thing specifically achieve that goal?
mental belfry
yea imo mentioning specific cs courses isnt that strong
cuz basically every school has the same stuff
worthy comet
In my essay I talked about a class I was taking this year and tied it to a professor that made a really cool thing. He teaches a higher level chem e / bme elective.
But if I just name dropped the professor and his class the AOs would probably just roll their eyes
steep quartz
I personally name dropped two classes to showcase how flexible the threads curriculum was and how I could take advantage of it (which was a major reason in my essay)
You guys say that every college has the same classes but this is just not true lol
GT’s curriculum can and should be a major reason for you coming to tech, at least if ur CS.
steep quartz
Exactly. And I have first hand experience as a transfer so I’m not just talking out of my ass when I’m saying GT’s curriculum is very special
Though, it should be noted that you have to properly convey how GT is special. Just randomly talking about some classes without expanding on it is not the way to go
But name dropping is not a bad thing at all if done well
worthy comet
Well I mean
In my case
You can get good cheme at a lot of colleges
Even non prestigious ones
UDelaware for example is a t10 cheme program because some rich company in Delaware donates to it
So I’m not really worried where I end up but GaTech is awesome Atlanta is awesome so yeah

How much does it help to apply ea compared to applying rd here
looking at raw acceptance rates, not at all
for 2023, for EA2, 10%. OOS acceptance rate as a whole, including RD, was 12%. That means a larger percentage of OOS applicants were accepted during RD.

What if you transfer into gt, can u do cs
yes, if you are accepted for CS. Like you can't apply to transfer for history and then switch to CS. U have to apply CS. Also if u have a transfer pathway u are no longer guarunteed cs anymore.

What about computational media
Is that one of those cs majors that you can’t transfer to

its the third fourth most popular major. but tbh it shouldn't be any harder to get in than other majors. i think cs is the only "impacted" major

u can transfer to computational media. computer engineering is also unrestricted

probably happened cus our college of computing dean left recently
