do u just submit it with midyear report?

twilit carbon
#

On your college transcript it will show them in progress

#

You can also mention them in the "senior year classes" section

real grove
topaz valley
#

anyone know if there’re any scholarships that require additional applications

celest path
#

Yo do you guys think I should focus purely on my academic / major interests at GTECH for the second part of the prompt

#

Or talk a little about clubs n stuff like that

#

And EC interests

lyric gyro
celest path
#

🙏

outer walrus
#

anyone writing the supp for gtech, how did you split the "why major" and "why us", Im thinking of reusing a why major one that I have (around 200 words) while incorporating Gtech courses and offerings

gaunt geyser
outer walrus
#

i feel like everyone is gonna talk about their threads

gaunt geyser
#

so basically

gaunt geyser
# outer walrus i feel like everyone is gonna talk about their threads

well strucutre u should have is

intro - hook to capture the intro etc

body 1 - talk about any particular project you've done(choose the one u feel proud of the most) and mention how u want to apply these skills further at one of georgia techs cs program

conclusion - talk about a program you really like about georgia tech and mention how this will allow you to do xyz in cs

#

its a very broad structure

lyric gyro
#

intro -> projects > why it connects to major (should be obvious) -> cool classes, extracarriculaars, research

#

but those last 3 should be mostly gt only

outer walrus
#

ig my first part is too long

lyric gyro
#

wait no like first part was like a 1/4

outer walrus
#

are you applying cs?

lyric gyro
#

ce

#

basically same selectivness

outer walrus
#

did you include clubs? just academics right

lyric gyro
#

i just mentioned hardware software combined projects

lyric gyro
#

but 1 sentance

outer walrus
#

like engineering club or whatever

lyric gyro
#

no a cool team i wanted to be on

#

thats basic

outer walrus
#

nah i was j saying

#

like not sum random ass club

lyric gyro
#

like i did like 8+ hours of research]

#

the whole point of the prompt is to make you fall in love with gt and it worked lmao

outer walrus
#

dont got time for that lowkey ima mention the thread that sort of connects and like clubs

lyric gyro
#

are you in state

outer walrus
#

i spent too much time on my purdue

outer walrus
#

im in wa

lyric gyro
#

i need to focus on mit

#

i have done like 6 schools early now

outer walrus
lyric gyro
lyric gyro
#

anything above 1450 is a chanc

#

my unweighted isnt much better

#

but they dont care too much if its random classes you got b's on

gaunt geyser
outer walrus
gaunt geyser
#

oh

#

im engineer major

outer walrus
lyric gyro
gaunt geyser
#

and my gpa isnt quite the best

#

3.6 gpa uw

#

cause of freshmen and spanish 2

outer walrus
#

i thought i was actually good at math

lyric gyro
#

my school has it but i didnt take it

outer walrus
lyric gyro
#

oh ok

#

my school only has sl math

#

its why i rejected my invite to ib

outer walrus
lyric gyro
#

thats what i did

#

and the research was a lot more rewarding

stark moat
#

i dont have to send sat scores from cb for gtech right

#

as long as i self reported on CA

twilit carbon
#

Correct

#

Should see this on your portal

stark moat
#

i got nov 1 deadline

twilit carbon
#

Yeah same

#

But yeah you're good

void berry
#

Oh so only self report for Georgia Tech?

#

we don't have to send in?

atomic zenith
#

self report is good enough

void berry
#

alrigfht cool

#

sounds good thank you

slow crow
#

Okay so I structured it as:
introduction (I talked about my tour and then linked it to my major)
Research I would like to do
Study abroad
Clubs I would join

topaz valley
#

any neuro here

slow crow
#

Yeah it doesn’t even matter that much

frosty egret
#

i didnt talk about clubs

#

i started my essay talking about bowling

#

then pivoted that to modeling predictions or something

#

then talked about threads and classes and how it would help me achieve my motivations/goals

#

then my experience with gt

atomic zenith
#

They’re asking what activities you would be interested in at Georgia Tech

#

Not your own activities

gaunt geyser
calm ocean
#

ohhh

#

nvm

#

kk

#

😅

fossil minnow
#

i applied and was accepted in last year's cycle!

gaunt geyser
fossil minnow
#

i was committed too -- but then withdrew once i got scholarship money from wake! feel free to ask questions

gaunt geyser
#

thats nice

honest pilot
#

my rough outline is p much what you just said

#

minus tour

dark matrix
#

i talked about threads and a club xd

slow crow
#

My schedule isn’t that bad I just have a midterm on Thursday 😭 fml

gaunt geyser
dark matrix
#

cuz threads is like kinda the unique thing gtech has

outer walrus
dark matrix
#

damn rip creativity

#

im cooked

outer walrus
#

my brother who applied 4 years ago mentioned threads

dark matrix
#

💀

twilit carbon
#

Hopefully I didn't cook myself by not mentioning threads lol

dark matrix
#

what if they're like "damn another threads kid" throws on trash pile

outer walrus
dark matrix
twilit carbon
#

Yeah I could see it either way depending on just how many people do it lol

#

I don't think it'll actually matter that much either way though tbh

outer walrus
dark matrix
#

wait no cant leak

outer walrus
#

😭

twilit carbon
#

I just talked about my background experience with computer engineering, the hardware security lab I was really interested in, and how I really liked the hive makerspace

outer walrus
#

i also dont think what course or club you pick to connect to really matters, just how you will apply yourself to it

twilit carbon
#

Yeah

dark matrix
#

i just took my why major essay compressed it to half the word limit and spent the 2nd half talking about clubs n stuff

outer walrus
#

lmfao i did the same

twilit carbon
#

Probably should've mentioned a club lol

outer walrus
#

you already submitted?

dark matrix
#

i did

#

i even put in in #✨-celebration-station lel

twilit carbon
#

Yeah same

#

Submitted like a week ago (I'm losing track of time 💀)

outer walrus
#

i spent the whole day yesterday and i realized i wrote some bullshit

dark matrix
#

LMFAO

#

i locked in one day and wrote the entire thing in like 2hrs

twilit carbon

is threads even considered a program

#

yea right

dark matrix

idk tho

stark moat
#

ppls usually say compE or CE

outer walrus
#

im applyin cs

dawg everyone apply cs

stark moat

its very high cs rank lel

stark moat
gaunt geyser
#

cause cs

#

lol

twilit carbon
#

Yeah GTech is cracked for conputing

#

So much cool stuff

stark moat
#

does gtech only have one essay question

outer walrus
stark moat
#

then i can lowk submit my app rn

#

cuz its just the why major essay

#

oh wait nvm it also asks why gtech

outer walrus
stark moat
outer walrus
twilit carbon
stark moat
outer walrus
#

too many words

twilit carbon
#

No not for gtech

slow crow
#

Like they will not not give a damn that you can’t wait to take CS 30XX

outer walrus
slow crow
#

Don’t

#

We use usg curriculum

#

You can learn the same usg curriculum at other schools, what tech wants to know is why THEY matter to you

#

You’re selling yourself but you’re also telling them why they sold you on going there

#

They want to know about the academic resources, clubs, study abroad opportunities that they offer

topaz valley
#

anyone here applying neuro

frosty egret
stark moat
#

can someone explain what threads actually are

#

are they only available to computer related majors

ashen minnow
stark moat
ashen minnow
#

for instance i wanna study CS + cybersecurity thread (i need to pick a 2nd thread but wtv)

#

my courses would consist of the general CS major requirements and the cybersecurity thread specific requirements

stark moat
#

ok

#

and its not just cs right

#

they have it for compE as well

outer walrus
stark moat
#

thats how i found out

#

that threads are a thing

#

besides a few conversations here

outer walrus
stark moat

but i guess ill do sum research on it

id rather go to ut austin

im in tx

deft cave
#

I think you have a good shot as long as ur SAT is 1550+ and stuff

Ppl applying CS are more cooked tbh

Not that it won't be tough for us

Is it 1500+

stark moat
#

its a reach and its also OOS so it doesnt matter that much

deft cave
#

It's more affordable than most of my other options tbh

stark moat

#

OOS

#

I think Rutgers RIT Maryland and Purdue will be cheaper

#

UIUC about the same cost

Anyone have insights on gt business school?

i was lit abt to move georgia in 2022

should have moved 💀

#

could have done much better in thsoe schools

#

and gtech

atomic zenith
#

i found out like 1m onth ago that gerogia tech is a fucking good school

gaunt geyser
#

its hella good school

atomic zenith
#

yea i thought it was like on par with ucsd

gaunt geyser
#

my cousins told me abt it 😭

gaunt geyser
#

ucsd is my dream

atomic zenith
#

yes

#

but georgia tech is better no?

gaunt geyser
#

yeah

#

it is better

#

much

#

ucsd top ranked for bio or some

atomic zenith

ye marine bio

gaunt geyser
#

yeah

atomic zenith

idk im applying to a lot of oos cuz fck the ucs

calm ocean
#

does it rly matter filling out all 5 activitieds

#

bc im only interested in four of them 😭

slow crow
#

I would

#

They don’t know if you’re actually interested in all of them or not

#

Might as well find another activity you may join

void berry
#

Can I put a hobby that I hope to continue in my essay

#

Like put a club that my hobby is

#

That isn’t related to like anything else

#

In my essay

slow crow
#

Yes

#

That’s what I did

#

There’s no real formula for what they want, but I will say, based on my couple of months here, people are VERY balanced and they have different things they do besides academics

#

If GT were to look for something in an applicant, it would be someone that shows that they aren’t just super nerdy

void berry
#

okay okay cool

#

thank you brodie

abstract wharf
#

is it okay to mention georgia techs location, being next to many startups in the supplemental essay

celest path
#

There are most likely better things to write about

dark matrix
#

yea

abstract wharf
#

such as?

outer walrus
# abstract wharf such as?

anything abt the school that resonates w you. i feel like if you dont have any experiences with georgia tech then you'd have to mention their courses or programs 😭

#

maybe clubs but idk if thats what they are asking

#

but its more important to show that connection you have with it cus the courses and programs you select aren't unique

celest path
#

Unless they are

#

In which case go ahead and talk about them

#

A lot

outer walrus
#

i dont think itll be possible to choose one that no one has chosen and relate to it. especially if you are applying for a competitive major

slow crow
abstract wharf
#

k

#

but stuff like co-op programs is okay to mention right

clear vessel
#

probably better talking about create x and startup exchange

#

than location

#

cuz there are many other hella good engineering schools that are in better locations for startups than atlanta

#

but create x and startup exchange are things relatively unique to gt

oh

nah

aero

calm ocean

ohhhh

Are these texas schools admitting by major

calm ocean

sorry i default to everyone being CS/ECE

calm ocean

tamu accepts people into general engineering

gaunt geyser

#

I'm NM so they gave me a major

calm ocean
celest path
#

It is

gaunt geyser
#

tamu?

celest path
#

Yea

gaunt geyser
#

if ur national merit for tamu

#

yeha

celest path
#

You dont do general if you're national merit

gaunt geyser
#

ok makes sene

gaunt geyser
#

what

calm ocean
#

you still have to do etam but u dont have to keep the gpa i thought

celest path
#

Yea

#

Thats what billernt was saying

gaunt geyser
#

dont u do general engineering

celest path
#

Lemme show u my portal

gaunt geyser
celest path
calm ocean
#

nuclear engineering is insane 😭

celest path
#

Yh

#

Thats why I asked if they admit by major

gaunt geyser
#

oo

celest path
#

Cause my major is double digits most places

gaunt geyser
#

nuclear engineering

#

i did research w a ut austin scientist in nuclear and aero eng

celest path
#

Like UIUC 50 out of 60 OOS applicants got in for nuclear

calm ocean
#

its hard to internal transfer at UT tho

#

damnn

celest path
#

So its an 83% acceptance there

calm ocean
#

UIUC ECE is hella easy too

#

like 30-40s range for OOS

gaunt geyser
#

or college of buis to college of eng

calm ocean
#

i think mccombs to cockrell is also kinda hard but idk dont quote me

gaunt geyser
#

maybe

gaunt geyser

business undergrad is a waste of time imo but i dont hate salute

twilit carbon

Idk still kinda crazy

#

At least compared to other schools I'm applying to (of a similar tier), GTech is by far the most expensive

deft cave

twilit carbon
#

UMich is actually cheaper for me lol

deft cave
#

Damn I wish I was in state for umich

celest path
#

Thank you US govt for letting me not worry abt tuition 🙏🙏🙏

calm ocean
#

gtech is so cheap compared to the rest of my schools

#

the only oens that would come out cheaper are UT, TAMU, Purdue, and harvard/yale/mit/brown depending on how much aid they give me

deft cave
#

What are u applying for

calm ocean

How are you affording a $11k+ tuition high school but gtech is asking for so little lmao

twilit carbon

Interesting

$11k+ tuition for hs is crazy ngl

lyric gyro

i go to public but normally its 25k plus

twilit carbon
#

What the hell???

#

That's actually wild to me

lyric gyro
twilit carbon
#

But we also don't have any private high schools so maybe I'm the crazy one

lyric gyro
#

best priv school in area, 50k a year tuition

twilit carbon
#

Wow

lyric gyro
# twilit carbon Wow

it does happen to be one of the best schools in the country so its expensive af, but in miami priv schools are 25-50k range

twilit carbon
#

Yeah I guess I just don't hear about these kinds of schools since the few private schools my state has are all extremely religious

#

No way 💀

#

I was just looking into local private high schools and apparently there's one for scientology

#

That's wild

DOWN WITH THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS OF FOOTBALL

cloud shadow
#

man i dislike cam ward

#

idk why

void berry
#

i just dislike Umiami in general

cloud shadow
#

i think its because they beat cal and i really wanted cal to win

void berry
#

they've been bailed out in atleast 2 games this season

void berry
#

they are littearlyy the kasnas city chiefs of CFB

cloud shadow
#

void berry
# deft cave This literally makes no sense lol

I meant that as in chiefs get bailed out every game by stupid penalties and miami has won 2 games based off either no call penalities that owuld've lost them the game or bogus penalties

#

and they finally lost

oh lol
