Georgia Tech (2024-2025)

[pale gust]

lets just say i got a 12/40 on my last calc 3 test

[balmy crow]

calc 3?!? what was the topic

for me multivariable stuff is way easier than bc

[pale gust]

hell nah u buggin

[balmy crow]

its the same thing with other variables being assumed as constant

[pale gust]

yea but some of it's just confusing if u dont practice it over and over

like green's theorem? i didnt understand ts until i read it over like 4 times

[balmy crow]

green's theorem 💀 youre right

[cold lantern]

I GOT IN OOS FOR BME

[lament willow]

REAL YAYYYY

[cold lantern]

how can u tell if u get a scholarship?

[lament willow]

Uhhh the one thing i know of rn is the stamps/gold scholars thing or wtv and u check semi finalist status for that on the portal

But idk about any other scholarships

[prime rivet]

This made me think I was getting in but 💀 (or at least deferred)

[woven hemlock]

are we applying bme to the same schools 😭 i swear ive seen u in all the same threads

[cold lantern]

LOL

how’d it go for u?

[cold lantern]

wanna dm we can check what else we did the same haha

[winged escarp]

Oh I was talking about course difficulty when I was talking about how hard but yea oos ea is annoying hard

hi homie

[deft cave]

like every school gt was mad comp this year

[winged escarp]

lowk they accept a ton of ea deferrals dw

[prime rivet]

No I got rejected

[deft cave]

really?

[prime rivet]

Lmao 😭

[winged escarp]

OH SHOOT SORRU I DIDN’T READ

naurrr I’m sorry

[winged escarp]

I mean I might be being anecdotal but for my hs class of 2027 had like at least half the ppl who got deferred and then accepted

I agree

[woven hemlock]

deferred from gt but my app was kinda bad

[woven hemlock]

sure sure

[cold lantern]

OMG

[woven hemlock]

holy crap
oos too? how cracked r u 😭

[balmy crow]

gg

[limber grail]

frfr

[honest pilot]

same my first sem grades are kinda ass

😭

[limber grail]

can sm help me with letter of continued interest 🤣

[honest pilot]

i had really bad luck with teachers

[honest pilot]

honestly same 😭

[limber grail]

frfr

[honest pilot]

bruh i want to go to gt so bad because they are one of the only colleges with a front ensemble in their marching band

i play mallets

[limber grail]

ohhh

[honest pilot]

marimba/xylo

[limber grail]

i play flute

[honest pilot]

r u also marching band kid?

[limber grail]

i wanted to do marching band too

yea lol

[honest pilot]

lets gooo band kids

[limber grail]

gtech my dream school

but ya...

😭

[balmy crow]

did you ever go to state

[honest pilot]

its my 2nd dream (excluding my ed reject)

[honest pilot]

im in norcal

soooo

no

[limber grail]

same 💀

[honest pilot]

wait we did 2 yrs ago

but kinda got crapped on because we were like 2 people into 5a bracket

[balmy crow]

shi my band fell off so hard we used to get state every year and now were on a 2 time loss streak 💀

[honest pilot]

this yr we lost a ton of people, 3a territory in terms of people but we stayed in 4a and got 4a norcal champs

[ashen minnow]

goat

[honest pilot]

😭 apparently like 8 yrs ago we had like 200 ish people

now we're struggling to get 80

[honest pilot]

what brand marimbas does ur school use lol just rlly random question

[woven hemlock]

MORE BAND KIDS ?!?

[honest pilot]

BAND KIDS!!!!!!!

[woven hemlock]

yo i have an indoor perc competition tmr

this is fire

[honest pilot]

YOOO

U ALSO PERC

[woven hemlock]

and all state auditions but shhh

[honest pilot]

LETS GOO

[woven hemlock]

i play trumpet in the fall and synth for indoor

[honest pilot]

o

[woven hemlock]

been playing piano for years tho so lwk im more of a percussionist

[honest pilot]

i played m2 for 2 seasons and bass 5 for 2

[woven hemlock]

W marimba player

[limber grail]

oh we used to go to state every year but get like 4th place out of like 6

💀

please tech take meeeeeeee

[honest pilot]

im doing winter perc at a nearby school rn cuz my school's perc is slightly sketch but in terms of winds we're like p insane

in terms of perc we were previously i think just scholastic A

[woven hemlock]

im so locked in for tmr 🙏 we're going to dayton this year n everything

[honest pilot]

but im doing scholastic open concert as xylo/alternate m3

[woven hemlock]

NOT locked in for gt tho 😭

[honest pilot]

dam world class

[woven hemlock]

nah nah a class

[honest pilot]

o dam

[woven hemlock]

ooooh concert percussion is really cool

[honest pilot]

we're the only one doing concert scholastic open i think lol

at least in our circuit

until wgi norcal regionals

but thats against like an "independent" group and bc wgi didnt like the school i'm doing wp at (same district, but their regular band is mid-low 3a but perc is rlly good) to have people from two schools, so we had to register as independent scholastic concert open or something

we're merging our marching bands together next year like apparently

partially bc my school keeps struggling to come back from like the 5a days

so i guess our cracked wind players can carry theirs, and their cracked perc players can carry ours

[honest pilot]

i swear im prob going to end up begging to let me into their school so i can play in their marching band

[woven hemlock]

i should've talked more about it ngl 😔 but i'm gonna go more student leadership and sacrifice for this deferal form
we just raised 16k in a massive fundraiser for dayton so i can write about that!

[honest pilot]

what brand marimbas do u guys use lol

[honest pilot]

for us bc it seemed more like a why major/what you would do at gt in relation to ur major, i just had one sentence saying that "oh yeah, i'll join the yellow jacket band or something bc gt is one of the only schools with a front ensemble"

like at the end

my common app was on marching band so ig it tied in

generic common app ig but it was meaningful to me

[limber grail]

me 😔

how hard is it to get in after getting deferred

[honest pilot]

omg gt has the 5 octave rosewood adam i think soloist marimbas with the square resonators LMAO

[honest pilot]

website says aprox 20% of deferred students were accepted

im not very confident...

[dense wyvern]

thats a lot more solid than expoected

is that in state or oos too tho?

[dense wyvern]

you got this bromans

(fellow differed here)

[honest pilot]

idk just website

[prime rivet]

Do we know what the acceptance rate was

[real grove]

what was oos cs acceptance rate this yr?

[nocturne vapor]

i got rejected

[prime rivet]

Not me 🤪🤪 (I got rejected)

[prime rivet]

Like overall

[honest pilot]

i got no clue but last year oos was like 9%? i am not sure someone correct me if wrong

might be safe to subtract another percent from that but we will never know until gt officially says

[dense wyvern]

real

[ashen minnow]

yeah something along those lines

[dense wyvern]

what were your stats btw?

[winged escarp]

CONGRATS

[honest pilot]

i can share in dms

if u want

[dense wyvern]

works for me

[honest pilot]

send a message to me first cuz i think u have like that thing disabled

[dense wyvern]

oh jank

wait you do too

[honest pilot]

dammit just friend

discord moment

[tropic solar]

Reject

Damn it

[gaunt geyser]

same bro

[tropic solar]

🫂

[woven hemlock]

really really old adams

[split kayak]

got deferred, anyone else int who got deferred/accepted from here?

[woven hemlock]

majestic vibes

[honest pilot]

o

synthetic or real wood

we use the adams 4.3 field synthetics

but cuz merging with winter perc stuff

the center is using i think a vancord 4.3 soloist or what something, then my school's 4.3adamfields, then on the outers its a yamaha 4.7 and a musser 4.3

[honest pilot]

lmao we have so many mismatched vibes

two different generations of adams field vibes, a yamaha gold one, a marimba one red colored key one, and a musser black vibe

oh yean and yellow adams z-frame one

[woven hemlock]

synthetic

our vibes' pedals dont work sooo

[honest pilot]

ours are zip ties

lmao

gl on ur comp tmrw lol

our first one is feb 8th i think

holy crap playing xylo is scary cuz everybody can hear ur screw ups

[woven hemlock]

thank you thank you

[honest pilot]

not like how i played marimba and like nobody could hear me cuz i was easily covered up

[woven hemlock]

yeah our xyloplayer is locked in though we got it

we should probably move to dms if we continue lol this is a gt thread

[rough sparrow]

yall got stamps or gold?

[honest pilot]

lmao i think there isnt much else to be said

yet

[rough sparrow]

marimba goes hard

[craggy ermine]

Oop lol

[gaunt plaza]

anyone know any engineering majors who got in RD

for gt

[tulip patrol]

guys i didnt recieve a mail from georgia tech?? what does that mean

[restive rune]

it means u didnt receive a mail

[tulip patrol]

yo pls help me out lmao...how do i check my application status

[restive rune]

you log in..?

💀

[ashen minnow]

yeah my friend an intl student who got in for BME after getting deferred EA

[restive rune]

have u never opened a decision before 😭

[split kayak]

https://admission.gatech.edu/check-application-status

here brodie

good luck

[shrewd raptor]

Best of luck!!

[rough sparrow]

bro might be cooked

[restive rune]

bro didnt know how to open

[split kayak]

its aight

[tulip patrol]

yeah i did that, does this mean im rejected? 😭

[rough sparrow]

maybe

[tulip patrol]

like it doesnt say anywhere that i am

[split kayak]

[inland marlin]

yea that

[split kayak]

yup

[inland marlin]

is a reject iirc

[rough sparrow]

[split kayak]

[shrewd raptor]

I would check your decision letter, if you can find it, but that's probably a strong indicator of rejection . . .

[tulip patrol]

oh 💀

[rough sparrow]

"a strong indicator" just perhaps

[tulip patrol]

yo what is up with all these clgs rejecting or deferring man

[shrewd raptor]

If you click on "QUICK LINKS," then you can click on "Decision letter," if you want to read it, but the rejection letter for Georgia Tech is pretty rough . . .

[tulip patrol]

oh i see it now thanks

yeah its a rejection

[rough sparrow]

[shrewd raptor]

Darn, that's sad to hear.

Best of luck with the rest of your college decisions!!

[tulip patrol]

thanks!!

i got into one UK uni so far but no US unis yet 😦

[ashen minnow]

@rough sparrow rip stylis bro

[rough sparrow]

Stylis wdym?

oh mb i got it

lol

love when css doesnt work

[shrewd raptor]

Awww . . . Don't beat yourself up too much over it, Georgia Tech is a pretty competitive school for OOS!

[paper sapphire]

LMAO YEHAHHH

bro strider singlehandedly cooked stylis's pedo ass

fuck phantom forces

[restive rune]

bro used an equal amount of w and dots to showcase their emotional sincerities

[shrewd raptor]

Ehe, I do type/text with odd mannerisms.

Whoa, that's crazy-

[restive rune]

community college you go!

[shrewd raptor]

Sorry to hear you didn't get into Georgia Tech, but I'm sure you have really good chances elsewhere!

[cyan linden]

umm ggs guys, oos reject

[rough sparrow]

aw man

[balmy crow]

300k profit? what are you doin in college

bro is already set

[rough sparrow]

thats crazy arent there any other state schools u got into?

[restive rune]

uiuc is worth it

[rough sparrow]

oh mb i thought uiuc was your instate

[rough sparrow]

i agree tho

[waxen oar]

uiuc as an intl is fucking nuts holy shit

congrats

[rough sparrow]

wait i cant react anymore?

[waxen oar]

oh electrical?

still though

i was just happy abt umd dawg

ts still doesnt feel real

thank u gt ao i will kiss u

[balmy crow]

uiuc ee rate is still surprising to me

[gaunt geyser]

NO

[slow crow]

Yo guys

How’d it go

I lowkey forgot today was ea2

If anyone has any questions abt being accepted ea/engineering lmk 🤗

[shrewd raptor]

Added another deferral to the list, but at least that's the last deferral I'll ever have to hear!

[slow crow]

Well at least it’s not a no! Do you have other acceptances or other decisions on the way?

[shrewd raptor]

Honestly, could be worse, so I think I'm holding up pretty well!

[slow crow]

That’s awesome!!! Glad to hear it! I only applied to 8 schools, I don’t even want to imagine how long applying to 20 schools took

[shrewd raptor]

Thank you! It was pretty tough, but now that it's over, I'm a lot more chill. I just hope I can get into somewhere good for physics since my parents forced me to apply CS to a bunch of places.

[slow crow]

Oof

What do you want to do with physics?

[gaunt geyser]

IT i got straight up rejected

almost crashed out while seeing my lettter

[shrewd raptor]

I was thinking research, but I've never really given it a fair shot, so I wanted to experiment a bit in physics in college. But I definitely know that I absolutely LOVE the subject.

[north haven]

Denied :c

[paper sapphire]

(r)ejected

[lament willow]

Accepted 🗣️🔥🗣️🔥

[deft cave]

Deferred lmao

[silk skiff]

whats the out of state deferall rate of gt? i got defer

[slow crow]

Yay! Which major?

[lament willow]

Aero eng

[deft cave]

I think like 20%

They don’t defer a lot

[silk skiff]

oh not bad

i thought i would be instant reject

or they defered 80% of pool or something

[slow crow]

Oh nice! Half my friends are aero here

[distant herald]

congrats to everybody who got in!!! hoping for all of you who got deferred that you get in

[slow crow]

They’re all gonna work for Lockheed lol

[shrewd raptor]

Based on the poll it's ~38%, but that's most likely very skewed since it's A2C.

[deft cave]

Where have you been deferred so far

[shrewd raptor]

Thank you!! Wishing to best of luck for everybody else who's been deferred!

[shrewd raptor]

UIUC, Georgia Tech, UMich, and Dartmouth.

[deft cave]

Damn that’s rough

CS?

[distant herald]

being deferred at gt means you still have a strong, solid chance of getting in. it’s not like many schools where they defer like 80% of students 😭

[shrewd raptor]

UMich and Dartmouth don't really let you choose your major, Physics for UMich, and CS + Physics for UIUC.

[shrewd raptor]

Yeah, at least we still have a reasonable chance of getting in!

[deft cave]

Yeah I got mich and UIUC so I lowkey I did super well this early round

I’ll take the Ws

Though GT was the dream

[slow crow]

Yeah they don’t do it like the ivies where ur basically cooked so their acceptance rate can be lower

[shrewd raptor]

Whoaaa, nice job!!

[slow crow]

Oh nice u got Mich and UIUC

I applied to those schools too last year

[waxen oar]

jesus christ u got into gtech too??

[slow crow]

Got deferred from Mich tho

[waxen oar]

ive seen u say accepted on every college thread i stg ur cracked as shit

oh ws nvm

but ws is still insane for gt

[slow crow]

Are u committed GT?

[waxen oar]

it mostly depends on if i get into princeton regular now or cmu

[slow crow]

For what major?

[waxen oar]

princetons only an hour away from home

[deft cave]

Me

[waxen oar]

cs

[deft cave]

Got deferred

Lmao

[waxen oar]

oh

thats still great tho lol

[deft cave]

Yeah

[waxen oar]

they hardly defer ppl

[slow crow]

Damn 🤓 I will warn u registration sucks as u probably know

[waxen oar]

ohh u meant gt

[deft cave]

You got in bro right

You’re cracked as shit

[waxen oar]

Deferred lmao

[valid stratus]

wait this is fire i didn't get any of this yet i also got deferred from gt😭

[waxen oar]

i got deferred at umich

[paper sapphire]

im cooked for ucsd

[waxen oar]

and uw mad

[tender hedge]

[slow crow]

Ooo comp E is a fun major

[waxen oar]

rly

huzzah

[hollow dagger]

my friend did

[tender hedge]

what were their stats like

[slow crow]

Yeah a lot better than CS according to my compe friends

[tender hedge]

besides sat/gpa

[waxen oar]

i still feel like they made a mistake 😭

like they finna rescind at any moment

tf

[slow crow]

Which threads are u gonna do?

[waxen oar]

damn

[tender hedge]

oh wow

[paper sapphire]

is georgia tech stats heavy

[lament willow]

My cousin got in, not sure about her exact sat but it was 1500+. She’s gonna be valedictorian and she has some comp sci internship and got some national award idk that’s all I know ☠️

[waxen oar]

not sure i still have to look into stuff a lot (if ur asking me)

[balmy crow]

apparently adams according to my perc friend

[waxen oar]

ive been looking at gtech since a kid i cant even lie

i wanted to do aerospace as a kid

[slow crow]

Yeah

[old wind]

bro they rejected me outright 💔

[shrewd raptor]

It's pretty competitive, especially for OOS, so I would imagine yes. They definitely consider a bunch of other things, though.

[deft cave]

Ggs bro

[waxen oar]

but then i found out i sucked ass at physics

[slow crow]

Do u like the hardware aspect of compe?

[tender hedge]

samee

[waxen oar]

yeah

[old wind]

bro it's fine

[paper sapphire]

if i didnt even get deferred my application might be ass

[tender hedge]

uiuc and umd acceptances saved my day tho

[old wind]

real

[lament willow]

Dude I suck at physics too but aeroeng is calling me too much 😔💔

[old wind]

but i did get into uiuc

so

[waxen oar]

uiuc ruined my day

[spark python]

They were lowk mean asl

[waxen oar]

actually it didnt

i knew i wouldnt get in

[tender hedge]

😭

[shrewd raptor]

Yeah, Georgia Tech's rejection letter was pretty crazy-

[waxen oar]

indian cs male oos 1% ass acceptance rate

[tender hedge]

i kinda gamed the uiuc system and did cs + ggis

much higher accpetance rate

[waxen oar]

yeah im a dumbfuck

i wanted it raw

[tender hedge]

i was gonna do plain cs but then my dad convinced me

[waxen oar]

wouldnt have gotten in anyways 😍

[slow crow]

Is it the tone or language?

[tender hedge]

so glad that i listened to him

[waxen oar]

i read it tho, it idnt even seem that bad

wait can i se?

mayb im tweakin

[tender hedge]

Thank you for your application to the Georgia Institute of Technology. Due to the large number of applications from highly qualified students, we are unable to offer you admission to the incoming first-year class.

We work to make sure each application is holistically reviewed by multiple staff members. Because of the competitive pool of applicants, we carefully evaluate the credentials of each student on an individual and comparative basis to ensure a thorough process.

Again, we appreciate your interest in Georgia Tech and wish you success in the future.

its not that bad tbh people are making it a way bigger thing than it truly is

[waxen oar]

yea

[shrewd raptor]

For me, the 2nd paragraph seems a little bit odd, since usually rejection letters are a bit more kind than that-

But I suppose some people could be overreacting!

[tender hedge]

stanford was very nice tho

but like

idc about rejection letters

and i dont see why anyone should

like you got rejected - move on 💀

[spark python]

Chill ion care that much

thats nice from stanford tho

[winter ridge]

Holy gone case

Mid school trying so hard to be an ivy

[slow crow]

?!!!

[winter ridge]

First northeastern now GT

It’s crazy

[shrewd raptor]

I mean, I felt as though Georgia Tech is a pretty good school, and it isn't quite "Mid" in my books.

[slow crow]

First northeastern…
Just finish the sentence there

[winter ridge]

It’s midder than mid

[shrewd raptor]

I don't know too much about colleges, though, so perhaps I'm mistaken!

[winter ridge]

The middest of the mid dynasty

[spark python]

Isnt gtech a public ivy

[slow crow]

Bruh I go to the school it’s not mid

[edgy turtle]

How I’m feeling fr

[spark python]

💀

[slow crow]

Nvm I’m falling for bait

Were u rejected or something?

[winter ridge]

I’d feel bad for you but you did that to yourself

Yes

[paper sapphire]

ucsd rejection here i come

[north haven]

I’m cooked

[slow crow]

Rip

[winter ridge]

The audacity to reject the likes of me while being the middiest of the middest schools of the mid dynasty

[slow crow]

I talked to Mr. Buzz Admissions himself and they just couldn’t handle your aura

[shrewd raptor]

Considering that Georgia Tech is pretty competitive, and it doesn't give out that many deferrals, that might not necessarily be a bad sign!

[winter ridge]

That must have been the reason why

[edgy turtle]

thanks 🙏

[winter ridge]

POV: You go to Georgia tech

[slow crow]

GET HIM AWAY

[hollow dagger]

gt oos vs uf honors instate engineering this decision gonna kill me bruh

[winter ridge]

This is all you will see

Maybe Georgie tech only accepts computer science nerds with thick glasses

[slow crow]

Just go into campus for one day and… you’re not wrong

[winter ridge]

Right

I bet the water bill from the campus’s isn’t that high since the ppl there don’t shower LOL

[honest pilot]

hehe what type of Adam's and octaves

[slow crow]

First two weeks of class I go into this rocket club meeting and it reeked so I left

A lot of the TAs smell bad

Lot of the CS classes to

[winter ridge]

Of course

[shrewd raptor]

Oh no, the CS stereotype is true.

[lament willow]

I’ll drive the water bill up if I go bro I love showering 🙏

[winter ridge]

Do you go to Georgia tech?

[lament willow]

NOT THE ROCKETRY CLUB HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO IF IT SMELLS ASS

[lament willow]

I said if I attend bro

[winter ridge]

Do you by any chance get limited contact with the outdoors and are constantly on the computer throughout the day?

[lament willow]

I LOVE TOUCHING GRASS LEAVE ME ALONE

I LOVE NATURE

[winter ridge]

If not = immediate rejection

[lament willow]

Dude

[slow crow]

Don’t go to the popular aviation/rocketry clubs. There are like 100 + people in it and you literally do nothing, so you can’t put anything down on ur resume without flat out lying

[lament willow]

Welp

[waxen oar]

BRO STOP NOW I DONT WANNA GO

I HATE THIS GUY

[balmy crow]

4.7 octaves lol

[honest pilot]

crazy

Ima guess field frame but what type of bars and resonators lol

[tranquil raven]

does GT want LOCI?

[keen bison]

there's a form deferred applicants have to fill out and there's a space for updates

[honest pilot]

is it the "artist endurance series?"
cuz those are hella expensive to the point that their value is almost questionable
like u could get a marimba one wave 5 octave with rosewood traditional bars and enhanced resonators for like 3k cheaper
I think the only reason schools/corps will get the adams 15k+ instruments is if they have sponsorships bc otherwise marimba one wave series is the way to go

[tranquil raven]

ok thank you

[glad ginkgo]

what is the acceptance rate from deffered

[wooden flare]

20%

[deft cave]

Cooked

[analog musk]

What the fuck

is it that high?

I'm traumatized

[split nova]

It's okay you don't want gt anyways

Plus you'll get into a great school rd

[forest goblet]

not to everyone who they reject

[zenith jackal]

ah fairs

[safe hazel]

idk im int and ppl w worse stuff got deferred in my school incl me

could be an essay problem

[river yacht]

[wide sage]

applied ce and got in but sorta regretting not being confident enough and doing straight cs...

[brittle surge]

stats?

[river yacht]

1560, 98.5/100 and i had legit published math research in a q1 journal which i think was big

[brittle surge]

ic congrats

[brittle surge]

would you mind linking that math research

[river yacht]

thanks

[river yacht]

uhh dm

[brittle surge]

sure

[lament willow]

Is anyone in here a current GT aeroeng student

I wanna hear how hard the courses are 💀

[cobalt fossil]

Same

[random rampart]

Hehe I went to 2 and got deferred too

Congrats!

I got in as intl for CS

Maybe I'll see you there

I live in the US though

[hearty ruin]

Wait so how r u international

R u an exchange student

[cloud vale]

No green card

[hearty ruin]

Oh

[cloud vale]

Portal says I'm international

[hearty ruin]

Interesting

Does going to uni give you a guaranteed green card

[cloud vale]

No

[stark moat]

what are we supposed to write in the deferred supplemental form

[cloud vale]

I hope I get one before 21 because if not then I have to go through the whole process myself from the beginning

[hearty ruin]

Usually it’s

1. Show your interest in the school
2. Updates in your ecs

[river yacht]

congrats!

[cloud vale]

Thank you!

[nocturne vapor]

westjett

[stark moat]

mid year report is just the grades from the first semester of senior year right

[cloud vale]

What does this mean 💀

[craggy ermine]

Test scores don't even matter all that much 😭

I know people with better apps who got rejected so I have no idea how I got in

I had a 36 ACT superscore though

I am 100% sure it was NOT because of my test score that I got in lol

[cloud vale]

fr idk why this is the first thing people ask

like an sat score is not getting you into a top school

[craggy ermine]

Exactly

[cloud vale]

ig test scores and gpa are the only thing you can objectively describe

like how you gonna explain your essays, extracurriculars, awards, and lors (the meat of your app)

but still it doesn't mean much 💀

[craggy ermine]

That's true but it's obvious which ECs are good sometimes lol

Like if someone did international research and raised 50k for a nonprofit they founded

Vs someone who was a member of their school book club

[cloud vale]

ehh

some people are very bad at describing their ecs

💀

esp in essays

also context matters

[craggy ermine]

Okay true that makes sense

But then context is important for test scores

[cloud vale]

yes exactly

so essentially

[craggy ermine]

If your school average is a 1000 and you got a 1450 it's very important

[cloud vale]

asking for any kind of stats/ecs is completely useless!

[craggy ermine]

Exactly lol

[cloud vale]

unless you send ur whole common app pdf

😭

[craggy ermine]

Yeah gl trying to get someone to agree to do that lol

And even then you never know

[cloud vale]

i just need their ssn 😋

[craggy ermine]

A school could accept them just cause they're a trumpet player and they needed one that year

So even then it's unpredictable

[cloud vale]

fr

[craggy ermine]

LOL

But yeah to summarize US college apps are extremely unpredictable

[cloud vale]

yes

i wish we had the german system

high acceptance rate low graduation rate 💀

instead its the opposite which is quite strange

why my hs achievements more important for determining what degree ill get

[craggy ermine]

Eh that also means a lot of students end up wasting a bunch of money just to drop out

[cloud vale]

its not as expensive as here

but thats a whole other issue

[craggy ermine]

I think we should adopt the UK system of limiting the number of colleges you apply to

[craggy ermine]

Oh true

[cloud vale]

also theres no compulsion to go to college like there is in the us culturally

you only go to college if you have to

[craggy ermine]

Huh

[cloud vale]

whereas here its just default

degree inflation 😭

[craggy ermine]

Yeah makes sense

[cloud vale]

i think employers need to realize that you don't need a college degree for the vast majority of jobs

[stark moat]

anyone got tips for the defer supplemental for? i dont even know where to start 💀

[nocturne vapor]

you never know

[limber grail]

ikr same

[cloud vale]

what is it

[stark moat]

i just googled gtech DSF and found a reddit page with some good tips

i was just struglling with figuring out what changed in my ecs lmao

[cloud vale]

what's the supp though

[stark moat]

ill copy and paste it one sec

Please use this space to provide any additional information you feel would be helpful to the admission committee as we make a final decision on your application. Updates to your resume and other pertinent information are most helpful. Your response should be limited to no more than 150 words.

[cloud vale]

ah it seems very straightforward

[limber grail]

150 words seems so hard

[cloud vale]

idt you need to go all narrative on it

just provide the updates

[limber grail]

okay

[stark moat]

yeah im low key cooking rn

[limber grail]

how difficult is it to get in after getting deferred

do yk?

[stark moat]

no idea

[cloud vale]

im a senior so take this with a grain of salt but i can help if you want

[stark moat]

we'll find out i guess

[limber grail]

oh alr alr

im gonna start mine like later this week

ill like reach out

did u get in sansk

[stark moat]

i mean i didnt have much change in my ECs so what im talking about is how the courses im taking apply to my major

[cloud vale]

yes

[stark moat]

i can send my DSF when i finish

[limber grail]

YOOOO CONGRATS

what major

[stark moat]

intl CS right?

[cloud vale]

yes

[limber grail]

DAYUMMM

[cloud vale]

thank you!

[stark moat]

thats insane bro

nice job

[limber grail]

frrrr

[cloud vale]

🙏

[stark moat]

did you celebrate

if that was me id eat like hella food or something

[cloud vale]

well im going to

[stark moat]

dubs

[cloud vale]

bro frr

[stark moat]

ngl if i got into gtech i wouldnt even be able to celebrate cuz i got the flu rn 😭

[cloud vale]

food is the best way to celebrate 🔥

[cloud vale]

i had the flu 2 weeks ago 😭

its been going around

[stark moat]

the flu is rly bad this year

literally everyone is getting sick

[cloud vale]

i shouldve gotten the shot

[stark moat]

this the firs ttime ive ever had the flu

[cloud vale]

i wont make that mistake this year

[stark moat]

bro i took the shot and i still got it

[cloud vale]

i was bedridden for 2 days 😭

[stark moat]

same

i got to miss school tho

[cloud vale]

i didn't 💀

[stark moat]

the last 3 days were painful asfffff

[stark moat]

weekend sickness?

[cloud vale]

i went on a trip right before

so missed 4 days

and then the week after that i had to go somewhere else

which would be even more absence

and i knew i couldn't recover if i missed school in between

so i had to go 😭

[stark moat]

bruh you went to school with the flu

are u tryna die or something 😭

[cloud vale]

i was asymptomatic

well

not contagious

by the time i had to go

[cloud vale]

i survived!

[stark moat]

ngl i guarantee theres like at least 10 ppl at my school who are contagious with the flu and just showed up for no reason

[cloud vale]

nah i waited the allotted time lol

good thing it was mlk day

3 day weekend to recover

[stark moat]

yeah

[cloud vale]

(kinda)

[stark moat]

i might be cooked tho i basically missed a whole week of classes

got hella missing assignments

its a good thing gtech didnt ask for this semesters grades

[cloud vale]

i just finished making up everything yesterday

5 days of staying up until midnight

😦

[stark moat]

the thing is, its second semester of senior year idrc about my grades that much

i still hate seeing missing assignments and stuff tho

[cloud vale]

nah i have perfectionism

[stark moat]

im still in the junior mindset

yeah

[cloud vale]

same

[stark moat]

i keep telling myself to relax and it doesnt matter but i keep acting like this sem actually matters

[limber grail]

i would throw a rager

and like

GO CRAZY

u need to celebrate sansk

hopefully me and solo get in rd

[stark moat]

trust

we both getting in

[limber grail]

frfr

gtech will call..

[cloud vale]

well i was alr happy cuz of other decisions

so it was extremely impactful

[cloud vale]

🙏

[limber grail]

ooo where else u get in

[cloud vale]

ucf honors, uf honors, purdue honors, uiuc

and northeastern ig but i didnt care about that at all

[stark moat]

bro i have a 100% deferral rate from my EAs

but that also means i have 0% rejection rate so...

[limber grail]

😭

i got rejected from purdue 🥳

[limber grail]

wait what schools 😭

[stark moat]

purdue, uiuc, gtech, and ut

[limber grail]

ohhh glgl during rd

[stark moat]

but i did get accepted to my three safeties so i guess thats good

[limber grail]

u shouldve done wisconsin and umd

[stark moat]

if i get rejected from all of em i still got A&M which is really good for engineering

[waxen oar]

Damn bro

[limber grail]

yay congrats

[waxen oar]

Y’all are insane

😭

[limber grail]

my app is nothing near his

[stark moat]

bro im the most average person here idk how i didnt get rejected from gtech

[limber grail]

damn imma get cooked rd then

[waxen oar]

Yeah same 😭

[limber grail]

same 😭

[stark moat]

my ECs arent insane like that

i guess my writing skills carried

[waxen oar]

Yeah my stats are alright

My ecs aren’t much either

I don’t even think my essay was any good 😭

[stark moat]

anyone wanna read my deferred supplemental form and give feedback

[rocky ferry]

Yo, does anyone know what to do for the Stamps Scholarship? Do you have to accept GTech's offer in order to be considered for that scholarship?

[pseudo swallow]

this guy was invited to it, so i assume it's just sent out automatically to those who advanced: #✨-celebration-station message

[cold lantern]

semifinalists got an email last night at 8ish pm est

[hearty ruin]

do you have to be domestic to get it

[calm ocean]

UIUC clears btw

GT a whole sausage fest

negative huzz

[calm ocean]

lol my results hella chaotic

accept purdue
accept UIUC
rej GT
awaiting UT

[cold lantern]

you have to be a citizen or PR of the US or a citizen of the UK

[cloud vale]

no 😠

actually maybe 😠

[calm ocean]

fuck GT

[cloud vale]

time shall tell

[calm ocean]

they rejected me

fuck

not even defer

shit broke my damn heart

[cloud vale]

😭

[ocean parcel]

yeah m/f ratio is insane there

like 60/40

[cloud vale]

bros saying this in gt thread 😭

[calm ocean]

i got rejected

so

idgaf

not even defer

[restive rune]

the cope is insane

💀

[calm ocean]

yes im coping

it hurt my ego

[restive rune]

poor ego

[calm ocean]

uiuc clears

hahaha

[restive rune]

no

[edgy turtle]

Been crying for the past day, feeling like nobody wants me 😩

[lament willow]

if i want to apply to FYSA that doesnt mean commitment right
like for LLCs it clearly states that applying doesnt equal commitment, i js wanna make sure the same is true for FYSA

[paper sapphire]

Yes fucl gt

Fuck gt

[eternal tapir]

its not one of the big 4 tho so the wow factor isn't as big

but we move!!

[stark moat]

BRO I GOT LOGGED OUT OF THE DEFERRED SUPPLEMENTAL FORM AND IT DIDNT SAVE MY LOCI

WAIT I GOT IT BACK

uh my mom was reading it and she ended up submitting it

so i guess she found it good lmao

i can blame her if i dont get in right

[cloud vale]

Precope is crazy 😭

[limber grail]

how hard is it to get the gtech conditional program thing

[paper sapphire]

hard coping this school is balls

later nerds

[real grove]

does tech give free merch during gold carpet day?

[wide sage]

Yk if its even possible to transfer to cs at all 😭 or at least to do software related shit

[hearty ruin]

You need to do another application once you’re in pretty much

[ebon remnant]

enjoy circuits lmao

Congrats to everyone who got into GT!

[hearty ruin]

I deadass think GT CE is more prestigious than CS

Bc ur thread classes can include all the software you need

While getting an engineering degree

Instead of a science degree

[cobalt fossil]

This kinda smart

It makes sense man

[cobalt fossil]

No idea man afaik it’s not possible

I don’t even like circuits

[cobalt fossil]

I’m going to do this if I commit to gatech

[obsidian tundra]

I know someone in GT and they said GT made it almost impossible after 2023 to transfer from any major into CS after so many people abused it by getting into much much easier majors and transferring into CS even UMD and many other colelges are doing it now but since it is CE and not any other major you still have a chance

but still CE is incredible and hard to get into GTech so dw about that at all and congrats :)!

you can still include CS courses and learn CS and try for CS jobs shouldnt be a problem

[deft cave]

Yeah tbh if you got in for CE you would’ve had a decent shot for CS

I got deferred lol

So be proud that you got in👍

[obsidian tundra]

Also did anyone else get in as CTP to GTech?

I have mixed feelings about it

[obsidian tundra]

wishing that you get in regular!

[deft cave]

Thanks man hoping for it

[obsidian tundra]

Cause this was something I was not expecting at all so its weird

[deft cave]

What’s CTP?

[obsidian tundra]

Conditional Transfer Pathway

essentially first year in any college you want and if you have a 3.5 gpa you are gaurunteed a spot in GTech from 2nd year onwards

[deft cave]

Uhhh

Alr so

It’s below defer but above reject

That’s what I know about it

Still a great option👍

[obsidian tundra]

yeah true

still wish i got in straight but better then a rejection tbh

[deft cave]

What major did you apply for?

[obsidian tundra]

Computer Science Asian Male and International

so basically fell in the most competitive pool possible lol

hbu?

[deft cave]

CE asian male

Lmao

[lament willow]

omg my favorite major, computer science asian male international

[deft cave]

but domestic

Just OOS

[deft cave]

Bro be proud you got the CTP

That demographic is impossible

[obsidian tundra]

ohh nicee

[obsidian tundra]

thank you sm :)

[wide sage]

circuits? i never honestly rly loved them from physics 1/physics c but they cant be that hard right

[deft cave]

what'd you get on e&m?

the exam

[cloud vale]

Me 😭

It's hard being a computer science asian male international 😔

[cloud vale]

That's still good congrats

They offer it for CS?

I thought it was discontinued

[hearty ruin]

Same

I overall think engineering degrees are more versatile, during and after uni

That’s why I chose CE over CS

[cloud vale]

Depends on what you want to do tbh

Like for me I want to do computational biology most likely but wanted a fairly versatile major

[hearty ruin]

I’m so ready for Atlanta weather

[cloud vale]

LOL

[cloud vale]

What career are you thinking of?

My CE knowledge is limited so I just think of Nvidia 😭

[hearty ruin]

Idk I have two paths rn

[cloud vale]

i MIGHT do MLE

I'm not sure

[hearty ruin]

1. Digital nomad (remote work and get paid in a strong currency while living in a cheap country)
2. Big tech (Software/AI/GPUs)

[hearty ruin]

What’s that

[cloud vale]

Machine Learning Engineering

But that's prob gonna get saturated soon

[hearty ruin]

You can really do anything with a CE degree bc you pick your specialization with hardware/software

Oh interesting

[cloud vale]

Ah

[cloud vale]

True that

[hearty ruin]

I know some schools that offer a data science pathway for that

[cloud vale]

Scientific computing was more CS imo so I picked it

[hearty ruin]

Yuh

[cloud vale]

Yeah just not sure

Typically you need grad school to do it

[hearty ruin]

Yea

[deft cave]

Yeah that’s why I picked it as well

Also more physics

[hearty ruin]

This is too much man

[cloud vale]

I dislike physics

💀

[hearty ruin]

😭

[cloud vale]

Bio ftw

[cloud vale]

Where is that

[hearty ruin]

Canada

[cloud vale]

(I'm Floridian)

(This is foreign to me)

[hearty ruin]

Fr

[cloud vale]

Oh wow

[deft cave]

Didn’t do good on the APs or what☠️

[cloud vale]

Nah I got a 5 💀

I just don't like the subject

[deft cave]

Wait actually you can dislike stuff you’re good at.

I got a 5 on bio and I hate it

So

[cloud vale]

Yea

[cloud vale]

Tbf AP Bio is just reading

[deft cave]

Yeah it’s like act science

[cloud vale]

EXACTLY

[hearty ruin]

I’ve never taken the ACT

[cloud vale]

I read more on my AP Bio test than I did on the SAT

💀

[deft cave]

Wait lil bro when did you guys start e&m

Because we’re starting now

Idk how we’re gonna finish

[cloud vale]

I'm not taking e&m

[deft cave]

Oh

[cloud vale]

My school only has 1 and mech

[deft cave]

Nvm☠️

[cloud vale]

So I'm doing mech

[deft cave]

I took 1 last year

[cloud vale]

Same

Does GT CS require e&m

Please no

[deft cave]

Yeah free 5 god bless

[deft cave]

Think so

[hearty ruin]

I think most CS programs require at least 1 year of ohysics

[cloud vale]

Wait all your decisions came out??

[deft cave]

Bro tried to escape physics but he had to take it anyways

[deft cave]

Huh no

I’m just recording it as it happens

I was accepted to UIUC mich umd rutgers rit purdue

Deferred from GT

[cloud vale]

oh i thought W was Waiting

[cloud vale]

damn congrats!

[deft cave]

Nah it’s waitlists

[cloud vale]

ah

[deft cave]

Yeah this was tragic

So close to a clean sweep

That’d be crazy

[cloud vale]

i've gotten 7 back so far

[cloud vale]

MIT broke my clean sweep 💀

[deft cave]

GT is like hella affordable too

[deft cave]

💀

[cloud vale]

Idk why I was upset

Like I knew I had no chance

[deft cave]

You got deferred right

[cloud vale]

But for some reason I expected confetti

[cloud vale]

Yeah

[deft cave]

You’re a CS major right

That’s crazy

Gtech CS is actually kinda nuts

Hella cracked people got deferred

CE as well but to a lesser extent

[cloud vale]

Depends

For GT, yes

[cloud vale]

My app wasn't CS focused 💀

People told me that helped??

[deft cave]

Did you do math stuff

[cloud vale]

No

[deft cave]

Wait

[cloud vale]

Science, volunteering, research, some humanities in there asw

[full folio]

Can’t believe I got instantly rejected

[deft cave]

That happens to like 70%

You’re fine

[cloud vale]

Yeah GT decisions seemed so random this year

[deft cave]

A defer isn’t awful tbf

They only defer like 20%

[cloud vale]

Yeah

[woven ingot]

Yeah my first rejection as well

[cloud vale]

It actually means smth

[deft cave]

Just not great lmao

[full folio]

Yh same

[dark matrix]

I got deferred too 🔥

[full folio]

5 deferrals and 1 rejection.

[cloud vale]

I mean I kinda got rejected from a school

Not technically

[deft cave]

What did you major in bro

[cloud vale]

But 💀

[dark matrix]

Cs 💀

[deft cave]

Holy☠️ good for you dude

[full folio]

I just wanna get into 1 of my US schools

[cloud vale]

NEU put me in Oakland 😭

Bum ahh school though

[full folio]

Idc which

Any

[dark matrix]

Ea/ed total only 1 rejection 2 deferrals like 5 acceptances

[deft cave]

I technically have a waitlist but I don’t count it

[cloud vale]

Where you from

[deft cave]

I got waitlisted from john martinson

[full folio]

UK

[deft cave]

Honors college

In purdue

Lmfao

[cloud vale]

Oh

[full folio]

Where’d you get accepted t

[full folio]

You?

[deft cave]

What was the rejection

[cloud vale]

I live in the US but am international because I'm from India and don't have permanent residency in the US

[full folio]

Ohhh ok

[deft cave]

GT’s one of those schools that compares you to people applying from the same region as you though

[full folio]

Why you got the North America tag

[deft cave]

So you’re good

[full folio]

Idk why I wasted time applying to Stanford if I can’t even get gtech

[cloud vale]

Oh

[full folio]

😂😂

[dark matrix]

Uiuc 💀

[cloud vale]

Well my portal said international

💀

[deft cave]

Of course☠️

[full folio]

Fr?

Damn

[cloud vale]

Cuz I've lived in North America for 11 years

[hearty ruin]

I got differed from Mich and got into GT

Just wait

You’ll be fine

[dark matrix]

Rutgers nb OSU Purdue u Maryland UVA

[full folio]

I got deferred from Mich and rejected to GT

[full folio]

If I had that I’d enroll to Purdue instantly

[cloud vale]

UIUC rejected me for my first choice major

😭

[full folio]

Damn

[dark matrix]

I'm Virginia in state so I'm probably going to uva

Just waiting for reaches in March

[cloud vale]

Every college is a reach

[full folio]

Yh same

[cloud vale]

Until you get in

[full folio]

Ikr

[dark matrix]

Alr super reaches 💀

[full folio]

I’m just praying I get 1 acceptance
