[mellow crater]

The problem is

[worthy comet]

[mellow crater]

[pure turret]

that's not that good lol

[worthy comet]

Yes it is good stats but admissions are random

[little gazelle]

ong admitted and #1 EC was playing league of legends

[thin cliff]

Stereotype Confirmed?

Should've put down Halo Infinite as an EC

[mellow crater]

That's not good? I got deferred from MIT with that

[pure turret]

The best way to get into GT is by posting "putting down dogs" as ur #1 ec

[thin cliff]

Essays make a difference IG

[pure turret]

Everyone gets deferred from MIT lmao

[mellow crater]

That's true

[pure turret]

ppl with that score instate have been deferred

[raven torrent]

r u instate

[thin cliff]

Thought thats Harvard

[pure turret]

its both lol

[mellow crater]

My essays were good, my counselor told me that they were really unique

[mellow crater]

Nope

He's out of state and so am i

[pure turret]

man fuck counselors cant count on them for shit

[mellow crater]

I mean

[raven torrent]

both but more so for harvard

[mellow crater]

I am an amazing essay writer

[thin cliff]

That's good then

[raven torrent]

congrats on everyone that got in and everyone that didnt yall got this 🙏 its j one school

[pure turret]

🙀

[flat shore]

Should I only put something here if I have genuine updates, or do I treat it like an optional essay?

[pure turret]

it is also the best school

[mellow crater]

[mellow crater]

totally

[pure turret]

GT for life

[thin cliff]

Best school I thought I had a chance at getting into...

[mellow crater]

Sure

My best school I think I can get into

Is cornell

[pure turret]

yo no one has a chance in ea2 it's just random

[raven torrent]

so corny but rejection j redirection fr

[pure turret]

i committed there lol

[raven torrent]

it feels rough rn but like looking back on this moment in months from now you'll see it happened for a reason

i know im not speaking to u specifically

but like

to ppl that didnt

its obv not the best school for themn

them

[pure turret]

Yes, if you specifically don't want to go to the single best school ever, this is a blessing in disguise

cope

[thin cliff]

Thanks for that, keeping my chin up for the RD's but not really expecting much, gotta hope my Purdue HC offer doesnt evaporate tho

[pure turret]

nah ure good

i'm bullying ppl to try and get banned

[mellow crater]

Yes it's evident

Which is stupid

[thin cliff]

lmao

[pure turret]

did you get in?

[mellow crater]

I can see that 🤣

[raven torrent]

yea

but i got stanford deferred like a month ago

lmao

[mellow crater]

Honestly

[cloud tiger]

Whats the deferral acceptance rate

[mellow crater]

I'm going to Texas A&M

[pure turret]

wow

[mellow crater]

It's really a good school for my major

[pure turret]

are you majoring in guns

[mellow crater]

Nah Aerospace

[thin cliff]

My best homie got accepted ED there, other homies got into Dartmouth and JHC, main difference would be EC's & Essays

[pure turret]

you mean flying guns

[mellow crater]

Applies for Aerospace ik GT too

Yes

Flying guns

And spacecraft

And rockets

And more

[pure turret]

GT aero best aero

[mellow crater]

Nah

[pure turret]

cope

lol

[mellow crater]

#1 is actually MIT

Cope

[pure turret]

nah mit is the gt of the north you feel me

[mellow crater]

#2 is Princeton I think

[mellow crater]

True

[raven torrent]

me coping for my inevitable mit rejection on pi day 🙏

[pure turret]

same

[mellow crater]

I'm also doing same

[raven torrent]

tho id love to go to gt tbh

[kindred owl]

What is the Talent Initiative Transfer Pathway Program? I got it from my rejection letter

[raven torrent]

u didnt get completely rejected then

[mellow crater]

Massachusetts Institute of Deferrals

[raven torrent]

i think they said 13% got transfer pathway

[cerulean pendant]

same tier

[mellow crater]

Well RPI is tmr

Yay

[worthy comet]

RPI is such an amazing school!

[safe cove]

same

[mellow crater]

Especially for Aerospace

But the campus is shit

[raven torrent]

1% of me has hope

[pure turret]

yeah lol rpi

[safe cove]

0.01% of me has hope

[mellow crater]

I said RPI is shet

I mean I visited

It's worse than Princeton and Princeton is awesome

I would go there

[mellow crater]

-.9% has hope

[safe cove]

real

[pure turret]

just join the police so you can work for the fbi

stonks

[mellow crater]

I would

[dry matrix]

purdue or gt for Aerospace

[blissful hollow]

accepted for CS

[lone root]

gt

[mellow crater]

Nah Texas A&M, Princeton, Cornell

[pure turret]

well look who's making it all about them

[mellow crater]

Those are my main choices

For Aerospace

Well GT was one

[lone root]

tamu >>

[dry matrix]

na like I'm asking which one better

[mellow crater]

Yep

[dry matrix]

tamu is 4th on my list

[mellow crater]

Prolly GT if got un

But Tamu should at least be top 5

For aerospace

[zinc wave]

hey did any intl get into cs?

[mellow crater]

Cause it's in Texas and near Houston for NASA and Lockheed Martin

[dry matrix]

purdue isn't near shit

[mellow crater]

I didnt say it was shit lol

[dry matrix]

yall apply to ERAU?

[mellow crater]

What's that

[pure turret]

whatever the fuck that is

[dry matrix]

embry riddle

[mellow crater]

Oh

[pure turret]

those pathetic little fuckers, with their junk mail?

[mellow crater]

I only applied to Florida Tech as a ditch chance

[dry matrix]

I mean

[pure turret]

should've applied to uga so you can transfer to tech

[mellow crater]

Bro

[dry matrix]

its a university for aero/astro

[pure turret]

one year in hell is worth 3 in heaven

[mellow crater]

I wasn't even gonna go to GT

If I got in

I would first wait for March

[pure turret]

What the fuck are you complaining about then

[dry matrix]

it's expensive af for oos

[tacit plover]

Where is the reaction thing

[pure turret]

Not as expensive as other ones

[pure turret]

Pinned

[mellow crater]

I'm just pissed off about how random it is

[cloud tiger]

Did any intl get into cs

[mellow crater]

The decisions

[cloud tiger]

[pure turret]

SKILL ISSUE

(pls ban me wtf)

[mellow crater]

Lmao

[pliant iris]

is it out?

[worthy comet]

Yea!!!!!

[pure turret]

i think the most effective way to never get banned is to keep asking the mods to ban you, because they psychotically feel the need to displease people

[pliant iris]

@mental sapphire GIVE ME THE GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!

[pure turret]

mod pls ban me

what

you know that kid

[pliant iris]

[zinc kayak]

being from a tropical country but still falling in love with the snow

LMAO

[lone root]

[pliant iris]

[zinc kayak]

oh urbana, your tropical son is coming home

[pliant iris]

I have friends at both

[tawny wraith]

how bad is a gtech defer

[dry matrix]

I thought it's before 2/1, not on

[pure turret]

fuck illinois

[true compass]

accepted gtech cs but defered uiuc (didn't submit sat cause 1540 superscore but really bad single score)

[pure turret]

ea2 for gt?

[dry matrix]

fucj u mean outside of eng

[true compass]

yeah

[dry matrix]

are there engineering baddies

[true compass]

bay area oos

[worthy comet]

It’s selective (25% maybe) so I would take that as good news!

[pure turret]

good god that's insane

[true compass]

my gtech essay was like hella random i just looked at it again and i can't understand what i was trying to cook up

[pure turret]

respect

[mellow crater]

Rejected Gang

[dry matrix]

bro my gt essay was fire

[pure turret]

cry

[tawny wraith]

how many get in form deferred

[dry matrix]

i jerked off like 3 professors in my essay

[raven torrent]

lmao same thing w sat 💀 was uiuc single score choice only

[pure turret]

not in ea2 lmao. should've lived in ga. skill issue

[worthy comet]

Uhhhh I’m not

[pure turret]

@true compass are you committing to gt

[dry matrix]

wish I lived in ga

[pure turret]

Your god fucking damn right

[tawny wraith]

💀

[true compass]

if i get into an ivy i pro bwill go

[pure turret]

icic

GT still better than ivies

[true compass]

cause if cs has less job security i feel like the connections from ivy will come in handy

[worthy comet]

Depends on major

[true compass]

and money isn't issue for my thankfully

[pure turret]

cs doesn't have less job security lmao

not from gt

[true compass]

i mean like

20 yeras in the future

if cs isn't really a good career

ivy will be more useful

just cause of the connections outside of cs

[hollow horizon]

oh, i didnt realize that, i didnt see anything updates on the kevin martin blog https://texadmissions.com/blog/2019/10/25/when-might-i-receive-my-major-decision-does-ut-have-rolling-admissions-for-fall-2020-freshman-ut-austin-admissions-waves?format=amp

[pure turret]

Just do management man. CS will always be a good career. Lawyers and wall street cokeheads are about get replaced by CS

[hollow horizon]

how do you know its today?

[pliant iris]

it’s not worth it just for the admissions boost

[true compass]

tbh i might follow my dad and do patent law

its engineering undergrad then law

and he makes a shit ton of money basically getting to look at supe rstate of the art inventions

[worthy comet]

Is anyone here a Tech student I can talk to?

[lone root]

join the gt28 discord. i can dm u the link if u want

[worthy comet]

Yes pls

Thanks!!!

[pliant iris]

If you have specific questions that people here are unable to answer id ask on reddit

[worthy comet]

I’m assuming u go to tech

[lone root]

yes

[pure turret]

NO

[raven torrent]

can u dm it to me?

[pure turret]

STOP

[pliant iris]

BTW for class links, you’re able to tell people you have one but you cannot ask if you can send it to them without them asking first. also, only send them in dms, don’t send them in the server

[burnt acorn]

does gt ever accept ppl who appeal their decision

[raven torrent]

woah LMAO

anybody see that

[somber tinsel]

Is the transfer pathway only for in state people

[dry matrix]

ga is a nice place to be in for job placement after uni

[tacit plover]

Semifinalist for scholarship

[worthy comet]

STAMPS?!!

[true compass]

damn didnt get semis

[tacit plover]

[tacit plover]

[worthy comet]

Is cs acceptance rate different than regular major acceptance rate?

[kindred owl]

by much to the point where they restrict it

even for the Talent Initiative Transfer Pathway Program

[full crown]

Probably

[kindred owl]

they won't let you apply for CS due to the high demand lol

[raven torrent]

CRACKEDDDD HOLY SHIT

[tacit plover]

Thanks 😭

[kindred owl]

omg

is it for a full ride?

[tacit plover]

I believe but idk I have to see

I honestly got no idea

[exotic horizon]

GOOD HEAVENS!

[tacit plover]

Thankss

[raven torrent]

thats like 0.00005%

[tacit plover]

I really wasn’t expecting to get in 😭

[shell spire]

Is the Stamps decision on the Same page since I can't see anything about it

[tacit plover]

Semifinalist status is on the portal

[late pier]

Got rejected from uiuc cs this afternoon (got into 2nd major EE) and then got into gt cs

[hollow horizon]

i got deferred with 1500 (770m 730r) 4.7w 4.0uw (rank 2) and some pretty decent ecs like high profile internship etc and a ukraine escape story essay i was proud of. idk maybe it was my sat or essays 😭

im feeling really scared about upcoming college decisions now lmao

[late pier]

Ukraine escape story?!?!?!

[sullen condor]

honestly

hmm

should i choose gatech aero engineering or uiuc cs

uiuc is just at a shitty location

[tacit plover]

gatech oos? or umd instate already paid ill have to see scholarship first tho

[hollow horizon]

wasnt me personally, i helped my grandma escape her apartment by mapping out a train route around danger zones, it was a pretty intense story, my admissions helper and teachers really liked it

[drowsy rose]

36 4.0

what we think the acceptance rate was for oos cs this year?

[late tree]

Rejected: 1710, 4.2/4.0, 27 APs and a cure for cancer what did I do wrong 😭

[drowsy rose]

bro u need to get a 1720 smh and take 52 aps what u doing

[tawdry osprey]

does gtech accept most of its class through ea or do i have some hopes after being deferred

[late tree]

You have hope

[hollow horizon]

apparently 20% the freshmen class was deferred at first

[full crown]

Damn

[worthy comet]

Tech is the hub of Delta and is I think like second best aero so yeah

[tawny wraith]

gtech biochem defer

is it over.

[worthy comet]

You never know

Look at the deferred faq and try your best, I don’t know if there’s anything more than that

[full crown]

I had a friend who was an early action who was a defferal and a waitlist and a reject, he wrote both the defferal and waitlist LOCI

For GT

[cloud stream]

I got this super cute yale sweatshirt off thredup for like $10

[candid bane]

Cab we send a letter if we got deferred

[full crown]

Yes

[sharp fulcrum]

Dang I got deferred

[sullen condor]

does any gtech cs ppl here know how transferring into cs works

from engineering school

[candid bane]

how?

[sullen condor]

cuz they made their new stupid policy 💀

[toxic sandal]

i got rejected

[sharp fulcrum]

How many people deferred will get admitted eventually

[tawdry osprey]

about 20% in prev years apparently probably lesser for cs

[tawdry osprey]

yeah idt they allow cs transfers

[sullen condor]

thats only for immediate transfer in the summer tho

im talking abt later in the school yr

[ivory light]

how many semifinalists were there cuz in the email it said only 350 and the portal website says 175

[sharp fulcrum]

I applied computational media so ig there’s still a chance

[somber tinsel]

Did you get deferred?

[sharp fulcrum]

Yea

[somber tinsel]

I applied for computational media too

[lapis thistle]

[tacit plover]

I was confused about this but the portal maybe be the number of ea2 semifinalist and the email maybe be both ea1 and ea2

[bleak ridge]

f you gt, you just lost me

[neat vine]

what is oos cs acceptance rate?

[worthy comet]

10%

oh wait

thats overall

idk i think it's like 4%??????

[candid bane]

damn im screwed

on defer

......

[neat vine]

sounds about right honestly

i wonder what the out of state deferral rate is

for cs

cuz i have no idea what to make of my deferral. on one hand i feel good cuz a shit ton of people i know got straight rejected but idk

[slim mica]

Do we know OOS acceptance rate for non-CS or is that too niche of a statistic

[neat vine]

last year ea 2 acceptance rate was around 10% so OOS acceptance rate for non CS would be a bit higher than that

[mental belfry]

is it better to get deferred or offered transfer pathway?

[lone root]

Better is subjective. But it’s harder to get deferred than to get a transfer pathway if that’s what u mean

[visual hound]

Wait fr I thought it was 17%

Or maybe that’s overall

[candid bane]

does georgia tech really care abt midyear grades if I get deferred

[tepid jungle]

probably

[candid bane]

hi velocity

[worthy comet]

yuh

[candid bane]

damn

okay ggs to my chances

[worthy comet]

dont give up hope

[candid bane]

only thing i got to clutch is a publication

ty

[visual hound]

Damnnnn

[tacit plover]

wait was oos cs sub 10% this year?

[visual hound]

I doubt that data is released already

[tacit plover]

yeah but like

what was last year

approx

[wet plank]

does cs and engineering have about the same ar

[lone root]

No cs is lower

[mental belfry]

what do u guys think defer rate was this year?

i lowkey got screwed this ea cycle bruh

defer umich uiuc and gt all cs

[ashen plinth]

[worthy comet]

I only know one person last year that applied gatech and got rejected

[primal hare]

it is defer for me

[ashen plinth]

i think they deferring everyone

[worthy comet]

I think I might be the only one or one of two people to attend gatech in the last few dozen years

mich was an absolute bloodbath

[ashen plinth]

rly?

so many ppl got in here

their decisions feel so random

[worthy comet]

ur school brings a lot of kids to tech?

[ashen plinth]

some 1600 imo kid got deferred umich

[ashen plinth]

yea

my country in general ig

cuz asia

[worthy comet]

[mental sapphire]

[ashen plinth]

taiwan

[mental sapphire]

Ohhh

1600 sat

[ashen plinth]

[ashen plinth]

yea

all my confidence for us schools is gone after this ea cycle

[viscid night]

hello guys very underqualified applicant from India who got in tech

just wanted to give hope to all my internationals

its not impossible, compared to a lot of my friends my stats are kinda shit on paper

but yeah all i gotta say is trust the process

good luck everyone 🍀

[ashen plinth]

🫠🫠🫠

[languid seal]

[tacit plover]

My school has a decent spread for Georgia

[languid seal]

[ashen plinth]

theyre absolute sht

[wicked spoke]

Do we write a LOCI now?

[ashen plinth]

[worthy comet]

[viscid night]

[topaz karma]

damn i applied rd for gt and i lost all hope now

[ashen plinth]

my guy

[tacit plover]

Lmao I thought my gt essay was trash but my common app essay was pretty unique I think

[ashen plinth]

thats not

underqualified

[visual hound]

Lol it’s the opposite for me I thought my essay would prevent me getting in

[mental belfry]

my gt essay was one of my worst why us essays cuz it was the first one i wrote

[languid seal]

bro said underqualified 😭

[mental belfry]

hopefully rd goes well

[worthy comet]

i think tech finds the supps very important

[tacit plover]

Same lmao

[visual hound]

Ig I did smth right then lmaooo

[worthy comet]

i dont have a superb EC, nor do I have a perfect SAT but I think the AOs determined I was fit from writing

[tacit plover]

It had good stuff in it but was a little bland I feel

[worthy comet]

idk

it's too random to find any patterns

[mossy pumice]

wsg yappers, when yall speeping

sleeping

[mental belfry]

i hope i get in after defer bruh

im gonna erite fire defer

[tacit plover]

Eh it’s 11:40

[worthy comet]

idk if i can sleep

[tacit plover]

Same I’m so hyper

[ashen plinth]

tf is that

[mossy pumice]

u not getting in. haha. jk

[worthy comet]

r u cs for gatech?

[mossy pumice]

oxford is cray

[tacit plover]

Yeah

[ashen plinth]

anyone know the defer rate for gt

[mental belfry]

dawg

[worthy comet]

99% of admits here are CS lmfao

[visual hound]

Lol

[mossy pumice]

71.5% of applicants got defered, 15% rejected, rest admitted

[tacit plover]

lol popular major ig

[mental belfry]

i hope i dont get violated as bad during rd as i did ea

[ashen plinth]

damn that

[tacit plover]

But that’s worse for the acceptance rate

[mental belfry]

the only good schools i got were purdue umd and unc ch

[mossy pumice]

def not fake

def not pulled outta my ass

[languid seal]

cap

[ashen plinth]

yea was gona say

[mental belfry]

source?

[ashen plinth]

doesnt seem right

[visual hound]

Yo Unc is rly good

[mossy pumice]

my ass

[visual hound]

Esp if ur out of state that shit hard

[mental belfry]

yea thats why im so confused

[visual hound]

Top 3 most reliable sources:

[mental belfry]

like accepted unc oos but deferred uiuc cs+stats

thats dum asl

[tacit plover]

Umd instate or gtech cs

[mental belfry]

umd in state if u care about money

[visual hound]

Ok but I’d say UIUC cs is quite a bit harder than Unc tbh

[ashen plinth]

depends if u rich

[worthy comet]

nah from the official site it was like 12% accept 13% pathway 25% defer 50% rejected

maybe

[lone root]

Didn’t u get stamps semi

[worthy comet]

i could be wrong

[mossy pumice]

"only"

[tacit plover]

Yeah

[mental belfry]

i thought cs+stats was on the same AR rate as purdue/umd

like 20ish

[visual hound]

Hell no

Not uiuc lol

[mental belfry]

bruhh

is it like below 10

[true compass]

uiuc def more selective for cs but its also just crapshoot

[visual hound]

I’m p sure uiuc is better than gtech for cs

[mental belfry]

it is for pure cs

[worthy comet]

im so glad im not cs hoolllyyyy

[mental belfry]

id go gt over uiuc tho cuz better location

[true compass]

by like 1 rank i think lol

[tacit plover]

Mhm

[worthy comet]

gt is superb

[visual hound]

I love gt 😍

I don’t love umich 😡

[true compass]

also aren't us news rankings kinda bullshit

[tacit plover]

Lmao even if I don’t get merit I think I’m gt for now

[tacit plover]

Fr

[mossy pumice]

stats for gt

?

ur stats

[safe cove]

rankings are bullshit but everyone here follows them religiously

[tacit plover]

1540 4.0 uw 4.8w so average ig?

[steep quartz]

Hey y’all everyone who got rejected just know it ain’t completely joever. I got rejected by literally every Uni except my safeties I applied to first year (including EAII GT) and a year and a half later I transferred in without a pathway OOS. Also this has been done to death but you can succeed anywhere

[mossy pumice]

average?

[tacit plover]

For gtech cs idk the stats

[mental belfry]

yeah u right

[small ermine]

how do you feel about the college social scene after transferring

[vital void]

1540 4.0 uw is pretty normal for GT OOS admit yh

[small ermine]

cuz i got the transfer pathway today

[tacit plover]

I feel like everyone here had higher stats than me lol

[true compass]

lmao i mean rankings to a certain extent are useful but tbh comparing two schools that are like 1 apart (hell i would say even 5-10 apart for t20) is kinda braindead

[vital void]

i mean it's hard to tell

[worthy comet]

damn

[vital void]

4.0 scale is a problem if grade inflation is rampant

because there's literally no way to tell anyone apart

[tacit plover]

Yeah

[worthy comet]

i have grade inflation at my school but I got good AP exam scores

[steep quartz]

I’m not the most social person but I like it with what I’ve experienced. You can always make friends in classes if you initiate and I’ve already made a few friends that I go out with every weekend. If you’re asking about Greek life or parties sorry can’t tell you about that lol

[potent sluice]

rankings are bs fully

[vital void]

also a problem if everyone is getting 5s

[tacit plover]

I think I had some unique thing kinda that’s prob why idk tho

[vital void]

AP scores are easy as shit if you're decently well resourced and not braindead

[tacit plover]

No way to pinpoint why it’s all so subjective

[worthy comet]

rankings are bs but gatech is pretty slayy

[mossy pumice]

id disagree. as a black boy, its bsed on ur knowledge and u dont have to be "dumb' to do bad.

[worthy comet]

i cant wait for the imposter syndrome to hit

[tacit plover]

Fr

[worthy comet]

i think tho im 100% committed to tech

[vital void]

that's exactly my point

[tacit plover]

For now same

[vital void]

with the "well resourced" part

[tacit plover]

Gonna visit for the first time tho! I’m excited

[mossy pumice]

ur one smart guy. thanks

[vital void]

if you do badly when you put in a good effort to do well you're either dumb or have relatively bad resources

[worthy comet]

is anyone gonna go to that golden carpet event in february or march?

[small ermine]

gotcha, i'm not tryna get into greek life anyways lol

[burnt acorn]

does anyone know when you’d get a decision if you were to appeal within the next week

[worthy comet]

i might join a frat

[tacit plover]

Bruh I wanted to but I can miss my lab so I have to go during my spring break

[worthy comet]

im gonna go in march

[tacit plover]

Can’t

[small ermine]

i've been thinking abt gt for a while and the decision today was kinda depressing but tysm for sharing your experience, it made me feel better abt transferring

[steep quartz]

“Dumb” is a bad adjective. You can be bad at some subjects but a genius in others. Like how I got a 5 or 4 in everything except French where I got a 2 🤡

[tacit plover]

Ima go March too but late March

[worthy comet]

i already toured last sprin break and it was SO FUN

[tacit plover]

Omg I’m so excited

[vital void]

well not dumb in general, you're right that dumb is vague

[worthy comet]

gatech is SUCH an AMAZING school and campus! the library was the best part!

[tacit plover]

I’m still in shock omg

[worthy comet]

alright yall its been a wild ass day i love my fellow future jackets sm 💛 take care! gn!

[tacit plover]

Gn! Congrats on gt!

[potent sluice]

my friend got admitted ea2 for meche
i applied rd for CS

[nimble solar]

SO PROUD of the newest GT admits! we are so proud to be with u on this journey! for those of you who didn't get the decision you hoped for, i know there is a place for you <3 it feels rough right now, but i am proud of you for waking up today and checking ur decision. i am also proud of all the hard work we put in to get to this next step, regardless of what that path is. ~ gt 2028 EA1 admit

bzz bzz or whatever

💛

[vital void]

the yellowjackets outside my lab don't like me

I was eating lunch one day and one of them was being a bitch so i stomped on it

and a bunch more showed up like two minutes later

will this reflect badly on my GT application

[nimble solar]

yes absolutely, tix!

[vital void]

😢

[safe cove]

thank you for writing this <3

also very proud of anyone who didn't get the result they wanted - one school's decision doesn't define you: you're extremely multifaceted, and nobody knows what a college may want. You'll end up someplace great, and although it may be grueling waiting for rd decisions, you got this <3

[vital void]

this is especially true for GT

they don't give a fuck about your essays

my essays were hot ass and i still got deferred

[safe cove]

my essay was so mid and i got accepted

so

[nimble solar]

i was super sad today getting rejected from unc chapel hill (oos student) and it's my first rejection. hoping for good things to come because this process is so random <3

[nimble solar]

mine was the most objective thing you couldve written about the school

[safe cove]

unfortunately yeah
rd sweep? :D

[nimble solar]

i hope so!

[safe cove]

mine involved a quest to visit every waffle house in the area LMFAO

[thin cliff]

Yeah

[steep quartz]

Well uh, they sort of do. The only thing that changed between my first year application and transfer was that my essays were FAR better. My ECs were arguably even worse. Rejected EAII accepted transfer.

[vital void]

Interesting

maybe i'm not as shit of a writer as i think

but my RD essays are way better and the only thing that saved my EAII from being deny was cracked AF ECs and pretty good stats

[drowsy rose]

honestly i thought my essays were really bad when i looked back at them a couple months after applying, but apparently they were good enough to get in so who knows lol

[steep quartz]

theres also the fact that every AO is different

[vital void]

isn't it committee?

although i suppose first reader does matter

[drowsy rose]

i mean like they werent god awful but they were not interesting in any capacity nor did they have any personality

[steep quartz]

yeah first reader matters. also i think there are several committees?

or perhaps im just yappin who knows

[hazy lintel]

got rejected, leaving this thread now (boiler up)

[vital void]

lock in

[lone root]

hammer down

[dry matrix]

Hell yeah

[raven torrent]

for ea2 it was 20%. said so in their admissions insta which was sent somewhere earlier in this thread

[edgy anchor]

is there any admitted students thing

like any group chats or instagram

or place to meet people

[iron panther]

Hi, I have a question for any alumni or Georgia Tech students here. I’m super interested in computational statistics and data science. I applied Mathematics to Georgia Tech and got in because I’m more into theory and math than programming anyway. Is Georgia Tech a viable option to graduate with an in-depth knowledge of data science? What path should I take?

[wet plank]

is the form in the defer letter the loci

[viscid night]

kinda same question for me. I'm quite grateful to be admitted to mathematics at GT. However, I'm planning to try to double major with CS. Any info on this will be appreciated thanks..

Like how hard is it to double major.. ?

[lone root]

yes. i can dm the discord to u

[edgy anchor]

thank you so much

[tacit plover]

Can you dm me too

[lone root]

sure

[flat pine]

Guys what are you supposed to do if you get deferred from Georgia tech😔

[iron panther]

Can you please DM me too. Thank you so much.

[hybrid barn]

Can I get the dm too

[mental belfry]

fill out deferred supplemental

[steep quartz]

wait what i didnt even know this was a thing 💀

[lone root]

yea theres a gt 28 discord. theres also one for 26. u should prob join

[cloud stream]

can someone also add me to admitted students discord

[lone root]

dmed

[steep quartz]

um

yeah i should probably do that

[tacit plover]

lol

[flat pine]

What was the deferral rate btw if anyone knows

[thin zealot]

I read .20% somewhere

[wet plank]

is the deferred supplemental supposed to replace a loci

[flat pine]

i think so yeah

because theyre asking for a 150 words additional info thing

[true compass]

0.2% or 20%

[wind spade]

💀 0.2% can't be real

[wind spade]

probably 20% given #1135701294888267937 message

[flat pine]

and normally how many people get accepted from deferred

[tulip shoal]

hi guys! so i got accepted to engineering and i got selected as a Stamps President Semifinalist. I am very confused about how it works with the interview? Did anyone else get selected for this award?

[dense matrix]

hey guys quick question. got deferred from gt, and when i was trying to self-report my grades it says: This checklist item has been completed through the receipt of a mid-year transcript or other document on file which included mid-year grades. On my checklist it also says that my mid year grades were received, but my counselors hadn't sent it yet. Anyone know what I should do here?

[steep quartz]

contact the admissions office or your counselors if you hadnt yet

actually definitely contact your counselors first if you havent yet

[dense matrix]

yep, reached out to them. i drafted an email to send to the admissions office and will send it as soon as I get confirmation from my counselors.

what do you think happened here? i'm kinda stressing rn and idk what to do, hopefully if its a mistake they let me submit my actual mid year report

[steep quartz]

im ngl idk because first year i got rejected not deferred 💀

[flat pine]

So for Georgia tech I got deferred and they’re asking for my mid year report. I got a levels so I don’t really have mid term grades, just predicted grades.

[reef oyster]

Same here, I do another curriculum which is full year so I don't have any mid-year grade to report.

[flat pine]

I think we’ll need to email them

[fresh sail]

Did gatech reject everyone this ea round or smt

[flat pine]

Got deferred

For cs

[fresh sail]

I applied rd CS

I’m 10000% getting rejected

[reef oyster]

Yeah, I'm going to do that.

[cloud tiger]

Yh same

It says they already have my mid year grades tho

[cloud tiger]

Whats ur stats

[dense matrix]

wait did you submit a mid year report? cuz i didnt and it says they alr have my grades

[cloud tiger]

Nope

I didn’t submit it just says they have em

[worthy comet]

I remember about a year ago I made a ch*nceme post on reddit and people absolutely shut me down ☠️

I totally regret being insecure during the app process and I should have just gone with the flow

[dense matrix]

yeah same here. weird

[dense matrix]

congrats man. im hoping to get a positive decision in march

[jaunty kayak]

does anyone have the gt28 server invite link?

[sonic pollen]

Could you send it to me too?

[worthy comet]

Yessir 😤

[ivory light]

hey lexi! i did too but im cs. the interview is basically like a video recording of you answering questions i think.

[dense abyss]

Could you send this to me? Thanks!!

[cinder cove]

please send to me 2

[cloud tiger]

When does gatech rd come out

[vagrant rapids]

Is ea a bit harsh this year?

[cloud tiger]

Idk

I got deferred

[worthy comet]

Yeah

[true compass]

Hey congrats on the admissions! Just curious, are you out of state?

[worthy comet]

Yea

[cloud tiger]

Who got in international for cs

[ivory light]

could you dm me too? thx

[dense abyss]

I did

[cloud tiger]

What were ur stats

[placid pike]

Anyone from India who got deferred? Are you able to submit your pre board marks for the mid year transcript item?

it does give me the option to submit mid year grades, but when i click on it, it shows that its been submitted already

[toxic sandal]

which major did you apply?

[placid pike]

uh this is gatech

[placid pike]

CS

[toxic sandal]

ohh

my bad 😆

[placid pike]

lol happens

[toxic sandal]

are preboard marks official?

[placid pike]

only UIUC has the only board marks thing

for the rest of them i submitted marks from internal exams

[toxic sandal]

I mean you can put the rest no?

yea

did you get into UIUC

[placid pike]

i did, but not for CS

[toxic sandal]

which major

[placid pike]

phy

[toxic sandal]

second choice?

[placid pike]

yup

[toxic sandal]

damn atleast you got deferred from ga tech they straight up rejected me 😭

atleast I got deferred from UIUC

[placid pike]

better to come

[toxic sandal]

i've only got UMD so far in T20

[toxic sandal]

can you like appeal

or smth

[placid pike]

im automatically on the waitlist

[toxic sandal]

I mean UIUC CS is crazy competitive but if you got deferred from gatech

you do have a good chance

[placid pike]

im not banking on it since that is a 0 chance

[toxic sandal]

wait what

[placid pike]

waitlist to be switched to CS in UIUC

[toxic sandal]

oh

yea thats practically impossible

why not CS+X

can you switch to majors like that

[placid pike]

you cant appeal or anything, unless some grades were reported incorrectly

[toxic sandal]

oh

could be

idk about that I didnt select a second choice major

[placid pike]

that would unfortunately void my current admission and essentially start a new application

[toxic sandal]

damn

is the deferral to conversion rate for gatech good?

cuz it has to be they rejected so many apps

[placid pike]

if i wanted to, i can attend and switch to compE/ CS + X, but again i wont bank on that

[toxic sandal]

too risky at a place like UIUC

[placid pike]

they said 20% on their website

[toxic sandal]

damn

they accept 20%?

from the deferred students

[placid pike]

https://admission.gatech.edu/first-year/defer

yup

check the FAQ section here

[toxic sandal]

hmmm

yea 20% is really good

UIUC is accepting almost 50%

[placid pike]

i guess the major just throws that out of the door

[toxic sandal]

didnt understand

[placid pike]

varying acceptance rates by major

[toxic sandal]

oh

yea

could be true

but 50% is insane

i applied for CS + econ and got deferred, hopefully will get accepted 🙏

gl on your gatech app as well dude

[full crown]

Believe in yourself

[placid pike]

thanks, good luck for UIUC and everything else!

[toxic sandal]

real

after that umass deferral i thought its over for me 💀

[full crown]

What’s your game plan now, where else did you get in

[toxic sandal]

i got into UMD and UW madison

rejected from gatech

deferred from UIUC and purdue (UIUC was for CS+x)

[full crown]

Did you get CS for UMD or letters and sciences

[toxic sandal]

CS

college of mathematics smth

[full crown]

Better than Umass
