didn’t the ME restriction last longer than this
BAHAHAHAH
this is so goofy
bro snuck in UT dallas into that list of t20s and ivy+s and thought we wouldnt notice 😭
wait hold on what
can i confirm CS?
can i dm you?
i got in this year and had a few questions about the confirmation process
I mean to be fair Princeton review also ranked them top 10. They were ranked 4th like 3 years ago.
hell nah what 😭
It’s cuz everyone that goes there is a rice or ut Austin reject
Idk this is just for applications to change ur major into cs for already enrolled students
Sure idc
LOL i just had my interview
i still haven't done mine 💀
how did it go?
i should probably do mine today
It was actually okay
Couldve been better but the questions werent tat crazy
Only one caught me off guard at the end but it was bc i already talked abt the thing i wouldve talked abt
i feel like i've prepped enough for other interviews that i shouldnt prep too much for this so i might just do it lol
but also this is higher stakes
I feel u
I was getting burnt out from practicing for so long and wanted to stop but i kept thinking abt the stakes
😭
me but i haven't practiced yet 💀
how long was the whole thing for u
was it actually 30-60 min
it feels like it should be shorter
Uhh i actually didnt rly pay attention
I think it was shorter
Good luck!
uggh i still havent done mine 😭 and i js started practicing but idfk practicing has never helped me
imma prob do mine tmr
dyk what's the dress code for this? like suit or just a shirt or... i feel like they mentioned it before but i forgot
wait the interview thru initial view or wtv?
They just said to dress professional
Like how u would for an irl interview
No through kira
On the deferred supplemental form, are you guys using a traditional letter format, with like Dear… Sincerely, …”. Or are you keeping it brief with just important info.
i started by saying like "im grateful for this second chance to prove myself as a good fit for gtech" or sum
yall when does deferred come out
Same time as regular round decision near the end of March
i mean they ask to keep it brief with important info
Is there a disc for fellow admits?
Also wondering that as well!!
😭 i mean i didnt throw but i lit fumbled the first 2 questions
And my dumbass fucked up the setup or smth and i even said “is the camera flickering” like WHY WOULD U SAY THAT EVEN IF IT WAS
it's not that deep bro
promise
the setup? i don’t think they see anything but the actual assessment
i fumbled the 4th one 😭
No like i thiught the video feed was good during the setup but app not
I already forgot the questions
I had an interesting chat with a parent. Last year, her kid got into both Tech (in-state) and UF (oos) for CS. Chose UF for a better college experience. They don't regret the decision.
I (FL resident) would select the opposite. Go to Tech (oos) instead of UF (in-state)
Honestly whatever choice they make can’t be that bad
CS job market at tech is really bad, career fair this fall was over 3 hours to just GET INTO THE BUILDING and registration is dogshit
Ofc engineering is on top 💪💪
what does this mean? I didn't get it.
Bro rlly even at tech 😭
Yes
It’s bc first years think they have an opportunity for internships and ruin it for older ppl
CS < engineering
I thought tech would have like more opportunities is it better if i go like umich or texas or smth maybe theres less engineering/cs kids there
No 😂
It’s cooked everywhere
I will say tho the job market for my major is pretty good
The harder ur major is (EE, CompE, ChemE, Petroleum, Nuclear) the better job security and $$$ you will get
If you like computing and hardware, do compe, if you like E&M physics, EE is a good pick, if you like calculus and chem, ChemE is a great pick
People will say to do what ur heart desires but in five six years when you don’t have to deal with academic stress you’re gonna want a diploma attached to a good school and a good major (that fits your interests mildly)
engineering > cs because if you really want to work a cs job eventually you can easily do that with most engineering or math/physics majors
lol I’m trying to switch to compe
That’s so valid
Even though chem e kinda is tough I’m really liking it so far
@frosty egret what did u get on physics test 1?
I almost switched over the summer but I was hesitant but now I better switch before I keep regretting lol
I got 84

I did better than I thought I did lowkey
I mean
What am I supposed to regrade 😭
The questions I got wrong I literally wrote nothing
Oh
And for the gravity one I got 10/20 even though I guessed problems b and c
So like the parts I didn’t know how to do I literally just wrote the formula down and that’s it
But I feel more confident for test 2 material
I’ve been more motivated in all my classes because I (maybe) failed (all my midterms)
I had all three midterms in the same week (physics, multi, chbe) so it was just tough to process it all
Yeah last week I had physics chem and multi exam
I ended up withdrawing from my cs class lmao
Cus I had no time
These 8 ams are killing me
Which chem and cs?
Why the fuck are you taking a graduate cs class?
How are you even eligible for that as a first year?
Im a 2nd year
Oh
When are u graduating?
Cause it kinda is boring so I’m switching to compe
Sometime between 4-5 years in total
So prob ‘27 or ‘28
I’m not tryna kms rushing
I’m probably ‘28 cuz “theoretically” I could graduate fall ‘27 but I wanna do an internship next semester
ChemE is wild pick
Ain’t it the hardest major here
Also someone on physics ed asked if they should drop the class if they’re premed and got a 31 😭
This is like the worst school to do premed cause it fucks ur gpa
Yeah
But once you get past year 3 classes ur chillin
It’s just thermo and fluids that suck
Once partial derivatives and diffeqs get involved
“Hypothetically if I got a 31” 😭
bro 😭
It’s kinda funny watching first years bomb an exam as a 2nd year
Cause I bombed so many exams my first year and got my first C in a class lmao
So u got 2.5 hell years left 💀
Nah bruh
I’m on fall y2 curriculum rn
I’m approximately a semester to a semester + .5 ahead so I only have 4 semesters of hell left including this one
Oh that’s chill
I heard there’s a 6 hour lab class chemE’s need
Have u taken that lol
Haven’t taken that yet, that’s synth lab
You take it concurrent or with orgo 2
I’m taking orgo 1 next semester, I hear it’s easier compared to how other schools teach it
Or maybe because ChemE is a lot harder than premed so ChemE’s think it’s easier?
how do u think the job market is at GT for meche/aerospaceE?
AE is becoming cooked
MechE is very versatile so the job market is really never bad
Wait we have petroleum engineering?????
No
under GT Account
thatll be the account u use to log into anything gatech
it says its not right tho
what cool shit does tech give in their acceptance package
Jack shit
no stickers?
._.
._.
I need stickers 😭
I need stickers for gt/unc cause those are the two schools I'm most likely to commit to
unc honors gave me stickers in both english and chinese
love them for that
I WANT STICKERS IN ENGLISH AND CHINESE
WHERE ARE MY STICKERS
I'VE ONLY GOTTEN PURDUE STICKERS SO FAR
Wait did chapel packages get sent out?? I’m not at home so I have no clue
Do the non honors ones get stickers too 😔
i haven’t gotten mine yet
i think
i got a letter from honors carolina saying congrats on my acceptance but i don’t think that’s the acceptance package?
u get a folder
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
all the free stuff is reserved for ppl who actually go
Is there an admitted students chat disc ?
Idk but if someone has the link ping me
Me too .
i’ll send it to yg! @craggy ermine @raven oar
Thank youu
LOL
Thank you!
can i get it too
sure i’ll dm u
Why the hell does the comp media major here only have 2 hours of free electives
That's not even one class
That's 2/3 of a class
What if I want to do a minor
It’s tough out here
Also the credits lie, a 2-3 hour class will be brutal
can i get the server too
did anyone login to georgia tech oscar
im not sure how to login it just says invalid credentials
yep
Can you send to me too!
mhm
Don't make me less excited for gt 😭
2 free credit hours is insane
I don't want to do that
Save me
Should I switch majors
But I like my major ;-;
But I want to actually be able to take fun classes instead of spending 100% of my time on required classes that's why I didn't apply to usc 😭
How does comp sci minor work because I want to do an astrophysics minor when they start the program but my mom wants me to do CS 😭😭
Like is it apply to get in like the major or nah
can i have it too, sorry
lol np
I mean… it ain’t better for other majors
I have no free electives left
And I’m a first year 😭
Cs minor has some additional steps to apply I think? But for all other minors, usually it’s just meeting up with advisor, then signing documents lol
Jeez that sucks
i just take classes im interested in even if my free electives are full lol
tuition is fixed after like 6 credit hours every semester
so like within your major requirements, where they let you choose whether to take class A or B?
Or do you overload
both additional classes within my major, and outside my major
although, some classes outside ur major might have restrictions
so not always possible to classes outside ur major
one way to get rid of some restrictions is doing a minor (you don't have to finish the minor)
So I'm planning on doing a major with only 2 free credit hours, I'm assuming it's hard/impossible to do a minor outside of my major with that? How many classes do you think I'll be able to take?
i mean you can take more free electives than the 2 credits you need
almost no one fit their minor for their free electives
yeah
I thought it meant you only have 2 free credits you're allowed to take 😭
oh nah
thank God LOL
just for ur graduation requirement for your bachelors degree, you need 2 credits in free electives lol
See that's why I didn't want to do usc cause their major is so limited, like I talked to my AO and they told me that I would be lucky to take even 1 class outside of my major
oh wtf
yeah it was insane
and the application reqs were crazy too
Like custom portfolios, videos, all that stuff
so I was like hell no lol
I have so many interests outside my major and I was NOT about to spend all of my time with the same 20 ish people taking only required classes
yeah so after your free electives are all satisfied for your major, the rest of the credits will go to either fall through (not counted/needed for ur degree) or can satisfy the credits you need for a minor if u do that
okay yeah thank God lol
for a sec I panicked
Cause I'm thinking about doing an ID minor
And taking classes in business and poli sci
srry lol can i have it too pls
dm me i can’t dm u
would anyone be willing to read over my gtech deferral form perhaps
and help me figure out what to change/add
ID is pretty rough
wdym?
alright yeah i sent it to you
Ouch
Oh yea ID ppl have a lot of time consuming stuff
I want to go into human centered design so I definitely want to at the very least take ID classes
And I'll be coming in with nearly no credits too x_x
Wait that’s crazy why do I have so many hours of free electives…
And yes what icey said
Rlly???
Tons of ur credits should apply
Gtech called my AIME scores insignificant and wont make an impact to my app
💀
i sent them an update abt my scores and i got that reply or something 😭
AP Chinese, calc AB, calb bc, macro, Lang/lit (same credit for both)
That's it
They don't give credit for stats
Oh and engineering
x_x
That's insane
bro i got 13, how the hell is that insignificant 😭
Lucky duck
Maybe
Cus stats here is calc 3 based. But idk if CM needs stats
U have calc 2 credit already so that’s good
Ah
GT is just ridiculous this year though
wdym a 13 on aime won't affect ur app😭
Ah let the imposter syndrome begin lol
it was CS
Yeah my major is half in the college of computing lol
And its "main" college would maybe lean towards computing rather than liberal arts
yeah but it's your major that matters not what college ur in
Okay true
It's mostly cause I have nothing cs in my entire application and 50% of my major is cs lol
And the college still impacts it somewhat
damn i got deferred too and i'm probably 10x worse than that guy
guess my admissions officer's mood was amazing 😭
Same bro
college admissions are a crapshoot
Bro as long as you have some good achievement it does not matter
That’s a horrible argument
not really, people will get accepted if they're a good fit
The guy I know on here who got gtech cs won like major hackathons
doesn't make people who got in or got rejected feel better to say that
if you got rejected they thought you would thrive somewhere else
Yeah but it's hard to predict
that doesn't mean crapshoot, it just means we don;t know what the class is gonna look like and they do
I have multiple Bs in my transcript in stem classes, no crazy awards, nothing related to cs in my classes/ecs, and I got into a major that's half cs
Yeah I guess
I'm still convinced my gt acceptance was a fluke though lol
And no one can convince me otherwise
i talked to the AOs who accepted me early and they accept people who are going to thrive at the school and with the people who they also accept
Yeah
A lot of times it's a personality fit
Or random factors out of your control
it's not just the uni, it's the people you're going to school with and the same person might get accepted one year and rejected another year
That's why it's a crapshoot lol, there's so much luck to it
crapshoot implies that it's random though, it's not. they're looking for people to fit the bill and we just don't know what it is they're looking for... we think we're a good fit sometimes where we're not
Oh yeah what I mean by crapshoot is that it's so unpredictable and it's not necessarily that someone did something "right" or "wrong", it could've just been pure luck
mm
ok i understand
sorry i'm not from US and people say crapshoot normally meaning like "totally random"
Like I definitely do not think I should've been accepted over someone else but I guess they saw something in me, and maybe I would've been rejected had I applied RD
this is how i feel about mine too lolol
i'm still in disbelief
I got in oos with only fbla & science Olympiad awards lol no national awards at all
but
Yeah it's unpredictable but not completely random
I don't even have that lol
no literally in my reaction video I was like "oh huh? I got in???"
yeah no it's unpredictable but not totally random like some ppl say i agree w you
Yeah
omg i recorded mine too help
i was infront of the fam
Same LOL
Cause it took like a minute or two to load right? The entire time I was saying "yep I'm gonna get rejected" and then it loaded and I was like "HUH???"
It was just pure shock for me lol
I KNOW
in the moment i opened it i was like i cannot handle a defer
it moved in slomo i swear
I feel like there’s something in particular you have to convey in that supplemental essay, everyone who got in from my school, their supplement had it
At the time I preferred unc over gt but now I prefer gt over unc lol so I'm glad I got in
I wrote my entire app in one hour x_x
that's so real
i did mine in a couple of days lol i still regret it
same with my RD but i have 4 instead of 1
I have a few National ones but I’m international
You got in soooo
I'm kinda scared to reread my gt application it was a complete copy paste from other supps
Uni apps are so random
Yeah they are
georgia tech the more I think about it the more grateful I am to you for admitting me
Wait same
does anyone know about the provost scholarship
like when notifications about it would come out
4x AIME qualifier and also deferred, so I guess it’s really more of a soft rejection ☠️
Bro is rubbing in his acceptance (kidding)
idk bruh i wanna go here but my OOS ahh is broke 😔 💔
my parents shouldve lived in georgia smh
Nah they released the statistics
23% deferral
can you send it to me too
💔 🎊
us fr
a 4.2% oos acceptance rate for CompE is INSANE
Hi, can you send it to me too? Thanks!
yeah i saw this the other week and i was so happy bro
i think we have a shot
i gotta cook on my dsf form tho
yeah same bro
I believe in the defer/accept pipeline
ill see u there fr
giving me hope fr
guys I have officially decided to give up unc
I am now gt '29 (most likely)
sorry unc
gt is just better
unc oos crazy expensive ngl
ayyy
no more unc status 😔
unc status
i technically should be giving up gtech over unc because unc is cheaper butttt
anyone else get an email from an alumnus reaching out and offering to answer any questions you got?
i think they r instate so gtech would be cheaper
Submitted my deferral letter 
i legit made it an acrostic love poem, so I'm hoping the AOs see the effort
Idk I’m just applying for better dorm quality 
is anyone here @ tech taking KBAI
LOL same
I love the grand challenges llc but the dorms for that suck so honors it is
explore gets the same dorms
any Tech freshman here applying for 2025 summer internship? how is it going? if you secured a job, how much factor do you think Tech recognition played?
Honors program here is just a living learning community. If u want to live in a apartment first year (u pay more), then it’s worth it
Anyone can take actual honors classes and has nothing to do with the honors program
No
Not really interested in explore though soooo
Yeah honors is better lol
submitted my dsf
now we pray
also this bumass school comes out after ivy day
fuck em
I was defered from Georgia tech. On my deferal form can I add links to some projects or is Gatech against that
bro im waiting to submit mine cus im tryna get it perfect but idek anymore
u got it bro
bro it doesn't need to be perfect
they give you 150 words
just be straightforward with ur updates
thank them for giving you another chance
and submit
yeah sure
bet lemme dm
i sent it the day after i got deferred, and i looked it up, for most colleges loci's and stuff arent super important
i figured it would be better to submit earlier
plus i had nothing to write about anyway lmao
oh i see
i had a bunch of updates so i hope it's kinda important
cus it'll help my mid ahh appl
😭😭
a vision for my HP essays came to me at like 2 am on my plane so i stayed up 2 extra hours to write out one essay and now im tired 
why are you applying to honors this early 😭
there's so much time
I am NOT about to write those essays unless I know for sure I'm committing to gt
Priority deadline is 28th and my mom thinks my chances are increased if I apply by then
Also idr gaf

I have friends at gt and they applied in like may and they were fine
So yeah I'm gonna apply in april lol
after I commit
Bru the gt acceptance package is so bad 😭
what is it?
where's my gt package ;-;
I've gotten my packages from every uni I've gotten accepted to other than gt which is my favorite ;-;
It’s just the admissions letter in a folder …
also ut austin but that was only last week
Borringgg
Bruh fr
where are all those fancy packages like tshirts and speakers ;-;
x_x
no way
I think for my major it was 7% but if you filter it to be like oos asian female in my major that's a us citizen and not urm then it's like 9% acceptance rate
or something like that
So I mean still low but not as low
I still think it was a fluke I got in
but thank you to my ao
I love you whoever you are
IKR LIKE I STRUGGLED TO OPEN THAT PACKAGE
FOR NOTHING
NO STICKERS
chapel was soooo boring too
only UIUC and NCSU gave me stickers
and UIUC also gave me a notebook
bruh i only know one other oos guy who got in
every other guy i know got rejected
and only oos girls i knew got in 💀
like 3 v 1
You got into UNC and UT Austin - this is some pick me activities
No literally you'd think they would have something nicer
I think they were all flukes LOL
Imposter syndrome x_x
We all have imposter syndrome
At some point you gotta realize that the work you put in wasn’t for nothing
No I’m hearing her out I feel the same
no
How did you apply to 80 schools bru
because yes
bro if i got in i wouldnt call it a fluke
i worked for 4 years to get to this point
No but it feels like I’ve met so many better people who should’ve gotten in over me
lmao better is an opinion
ur better then them at certain things
everyone is better in their own way
unless ur taking about quantitative data
lmao
if ur ecs are tailored to you, ur story/app, and the colleges interests then ur a better fit
- demographics
- first gen, low income, blah blah
no bro i am defined by whatever a college admissions officer thinks of my application
fr
gtech is considered ivy+ for engineering
Only schools tech is “worse” than is mit Stanford caltech Berkeley imo
praying my Deferral form works out
welp
How?
Wym how
It’s a lecture with 300 people and the professor can’t teach 😭
Oh I thought you meant like there are too many gen eds or something
But yeah that's a problem with all public schools
And intro classes
Hopefully joining honors will help
Idk maybe? Haven’t heard a lot abt honors
It’s just a different section, same teacher tho
Also if u take a class like physics or math ur just gonna look at the best teacher’s videos or smthn
most (not all) sections reserved for honors program are just reserved seats, where you share the same lecture as everyone else
which is kinda ass, but theres like no classroom space here to have a reserved room for a small set of people 😭
but some humanities probably will have a separate lecture for honors program (HP) ppl
for stem classes, ur HP sections will just be same lecture with another section
unfortunately one of the cons of going to a school with 25k+ students
hell, they cant even get enough rooms for classes so some classes are starting to be hybrid lol
Maybe for CS 😭
But we have lots of engineering buildings with small individualized classes
That’s one of my fears of gtech like idk how I’m gonna adjust to a class size that’s bigger than my school population..
For me I just skip and learn online
wait okay not to be a gt shill i came from a pretty small school like legit 80 ppl per grade and i was fine
tf is a shill
💀 real
but also i don't think it's rlly that bad
I think it depends on ur learning style
If you do better with personal learning videos, textbook and tutors might be better than a big ass lecture hall
You get used to it
What u don’t get used to is the smell some lectures have lol
Oh…
Ouch that sucks
Honestly I'd rather go to a big school like gt than a lac x_x
Our school made me hate the idea of going to a small college LOL
Oh rly I rlly liked it actually
when does rd come out?
any stamps ppl? Decisions come out soon 😭
not looking forward to opening that email
SAME
yeah i think so
just got mine
ivy day dang
💀
It’s the 27th
im cooked on the 27th vro 💔
like i cant believe decisions start existing again next month like february was a break for me after january 💀
@cold lantern did u get finalist? did anyone? 😦
My next decision could come out as soon as 8 days
I hate udub
March 1st to march 15th release date smh
honestly idrc about udub but it would be embarrassing as hell if I got rejected x_x
Oh always assume last day they’re quite slow
yo good luck snowy
thank you!
I have like 3 weeks till my fate is decided
am i staying in state or moving across the country to indiana
I shall find out here in about 3 weeks or less
Smh
Gt for the win though
You'll get in trust
Lowkey I really want you to get in lol
Rip good luck
Why 😭😭
wow
Cause you love udub
I vouch for anyone here who is committed to their dream schools
oh what school
thank you!!
Udub
I LOVE GT
RAHH
GO JACKETSSS
have you commited?
Nope
Tbh gt is far from my dream school
But I'm going to gaslight myself into thinking that it is
Until it works LOL
That way I won't be disappointed when Rd results come out
I haven't even received a Yale interview 😭
So yes GT FOR THE WIN
I LOVE GT SO MUCH
LOL
if UW doesn't take me i'm taking purdue
PURDUE UW AND GT FOR THE WIN
FR FR
Bro I love gt so much out of all the schools I applied to early I thought gt would be the one most likely to reject me
Yet they accepted me
I love them
All schools that accept us are the best
fr fr
Finally ur doing it in the correct thread
LOL
Yay!
what 60 safeties did you apply to 😭
projection
60 cause there is absolutely no reason to apply to more than 25 schools
bro thats all you
i felt like it
is that a problem ‼️
idk bro applying to 60 colleges is crazy
theres no way u are interested in going to all 60 of them
😛
How many fully unique, completely original essays did you write in total
I applied 26 colleges and I think I’ve written about 12 wholly original essays, copy pasting and adjusting for the rest
idk
Did you get an app fee waiver for most of them
👍
d1 glazer
what I gotta show loyalty to my alma mater
thats crazy
gt accepted me
therefore
I love them
I also love the other schools that accepted me
but I love gt more
fair rationale
What would you take over gt
nothing because gt is the best I'm loyal 💛
okay but real answer
umich cornell northwestern yale
that's all
BUT I DON'T MEAN IT BECAUSE I LOVE GT AND GT IS BETTER THAN THOSE 4 SCHOOLS
seems like a poser
teeehee
no I am a true gt fan 💛
because I panic applied lol
Hi ellie
hello
hi ally, just wondering, did you update your rd schools that you got semifinalist?
or any other stamps ppl can also answer
i didn’t bc it’s school specific
not a true fan 💔
gt should accept me cus i wouldn't take anyone else over gt
im a real one
loyal to the core
;-;
Hello ellie
I'm depressed ;-;
;-;
why are you depressed
i'm not working at all this week
unless for scholarships
i'm burnter out than a fuse
and i dind't even work at all
I wanted midwinter break so bad but I had to work through it and even then it wasn't that much work but I'm still burnt out someone please kill me I don't wanna do this ;-;
bro its ok
its gonna be ok
Thug it out for three more months
Lock out mentally and don’t lock back in until may that’s the strat
Then you won’t remember anything
March 7 March 7 March 7
preach
then 4 years of college then 40 years of work ;-;
@vital thunder r u ga too?
Yes
No
What were you going to ask
I feel confident but I have no idea what the in-state RD acceptance rate is
we have a good shot
My area's acceptance rate is almost 50% so that should help
My SAT is literally 200 points above the average accepted student for my area
I mean the world is ending in 2030 so only one year tbh 😍
where r u from
georgia wise
fulton?
Gwinnet?
wait
no
lemme guess
Forsyth
I won't say specifically where but definitely not around Atlanta
oh so south GA
yeah well
most of the top 10 of my school get into GT
so i have a good shout
yes 1 year
i used ai
but with thier guidelines
what is ur major muffin
I feel like my essay will look like I used AI even though I didn't
Math
I've just realized I accidentally put down some of the wrong courses on some of my apps
yes
that will be difficult
i wish u luck muffin
maybe u can be friends with @craggy ermine
No I'm too depressed rn ;-;
umich over gt is certainly...a choice
Agreed bro
I’d give my umich acceptance for gt
Tho I’m grateful for mich
Georgia Tech RD Decision Dates
Georgia residents: <t:1741392000:F> in your local time
Non-Georgia residents: <t:1743202800:F> in your local time
@everyone
My predictions were correct
Probably
idk i just got the email for me
Just no one told me
oh mb
gotchu next year
ping scary
ping jumpscare
dawg y is in state and out of state 21 days apart
because in state is better than out of state apparently
wait why am i in here i already got rejected
💀
gg
chuzzgia instichuzz of technolochuzz
real
Next Friday huzzah
why is it so late brah💔 💔
kms kms
the march 28 is also for oos deferred right
Oos are typically not Georgia residents
So yes
it says rd so iwasnt sure if that was also for deferred ea2
It's for EA of every kind
We r a non discriminatory group
that makes me feel better lmao
ngl if georgia tech thought i deserved a second look and not an instant denial theres nothing stopping them from accepting me
(besides my application)
Defers are rare for gtech
Relatively speaking
oos sure
This year they rejected 62% and deferred 23%
instate much differnt
Yeah I heard it's like 20% total
gotta love life
and then eventually u hate it
i got rejected 😔
i think this table might be more up to date, from the '24/'25 common data set
they cant consider race/ethnicity as of a few years ago
I think I’ll be ok
Gts probs harder when u come from a mid HS
Interesting
I would’ve expected standardized testing and volunteering and essays to count for more
I’m an Indian comp major, there’s no way that’s accurate
tf is this site
you can't consider ethnicity legally
well they've clearly got a lot wrong
alumni relation
essays (technically not "very important" but still important)
ethnicity obv
extracurricular activities (same as essays)
character/personal qualities
tf is "campus visit"
recommendations
they have basically everything wrong
Some stuff is just hella outdated
thought it'd be easier if you come from a mid hs
and if you're way above avg for the hs
They used to really care about alumni and legacy, they explicitly stated that it improved ur acceptance rate by like 10-20%
But now like a year ago they stopped doing that I think and just considered legacy for transfer pathway now
A lot of transfers ik got in from pathway
Yea lol. But not all legacy gets pathway, and u don’t have to be legacy to get pathway
It’s kinda weird
lol
Hidden vision
First gen pathway is also pretty op
2nd year
wehres the pathway for cs (community service) students
what's gsmst
There’s a lotta people from there lol
governers school?
ga school ofmath and science
and technology
sounds sick
sounds super competetive icl
💀
nah wtf
bro i lowkey feel like going to a hyper comp school is a disadvantage
i mean there's pros and cons of each type of competitiveness but like
Oh yea my friend transferred here and went to gsmst apparently and I was surprised he didn’t get in originally
What major did u apply as
Math?
Lmao wtf
Kudos for doing math
I could never do that lol
Idk I thought I was good at math after taking calc BC but I bombed my first math class here
Partly my fault tho lol
Kinda just the format of the class was ass
i think classes like algo and OS are hard regardless of what HS u went to lol
That’s light I got a 12%
U can do better on final part 1 to replace exam 1 right?
The intro math classes here have been so hit or miss and it’s so ass.
Linear I got a C but I’m satisfied cause the gpa for linear was like a 2.6 my semester lmao
Honors discrete math I locked tf in and got an A
Then algorithms hit and I dropped that shit because it was so bad. My friend stayed and regret not dropping because the class gpa was apparently like 2.7 at the end.
And now multi is going decent but idk how imma do on this next exam next week lol. I think I bombed the quiz today
Yeah true
This unit hasn’t been that bad, it’s just the double integrals that are killing me
the gt conditional stuff is so dumb
its pretty frustrating to grind my ass off to somehow clutch a spot as a first year (only kid in my extremely competitive north east hs)
and then i found out two average ass kids in our grades got spots as second years
just because their siblings went there
like bro if ur gonna give stupid spots give them to my smart ass friends who got deferred/rejected
giving freebies because their sibling worked hard is insane
straight up nepotism no shame at all
A GT defer tbh isn’t all that bad tho
Conditional is worse than defer
I agree with the reject though
I know some smart ass people who got rejected who shouldn’t have been
i know but my friends deserved it way more than this legacy bs
legacy is the dumbest shit in existence
how is it fair that every GT alum's sibling has a cheat code in college apps
a literal fucking cheat code
Yeah it’s unfair but oh well at least it isn’t a spot in this actual incoming class
still just cant imagine how much easier they have it
All us deferred people still got a chance trust
i had to work so hard for this acceptance
Yeah stand proud bro gtech cs from our state is crazy
I know so many cracked people from like high tech and shit who got deferred
☠️
Average life of a GT CS applicant
wait u take multi var after lin alg?
i thought it was the other way around
i mean ik u don't need calc 3 for lin alg but
No one is guaranteed anything in life just because you worked hard
There must have been thousands of kids dumber than me when we applied last year. But their merit doesn’t guarantee them a spot.
wdym
Legacy does suck but it doesn’t take away from one’s own personal achievements
There’s going to people more and less deserving
Especially in the corporate world
nah ik wym by that
i was just saying that ur other message doesnt make sense
or maybe i just can't read idk
I did not say I deserved anything for my hard work but why should other people deserve something for hard work that wasn’t even their own?
Legacy is an inexcusable practice
AA at least benefited unprivileged ppl
Legacy does anything but
At the end of the day (moreso) for private schools… it’s all about money. If both siblings are in the college, it means more donations, etc.
But lowkey the sibling thing doesn’t even make sense, idk why they would even have that implemented
yea u use some linear algebra concepts in multi
It is when you realize liberal arts exist
…
Did that person live in Atlanta
hi
If they lived in Atlanta and applied for CS that probably explains why they got rejected
The acceptance rate is fairly low in Atlanta
🤑🤑🤑🤑
ong i cant with this honors prorgam app
I’m doing explore as wellbut I have no time to write the prompt
This is accounting for liberal arts as well
are all the llcs due today or just honors
I think all?
imma kms
i asked Gtech
to update application
cause i hit usaco plat
but
they said nah
and the guy who responed said
"this achievment is not that big of a deal".
which is probably true tbh
tbf something like that will not be the deciding factor of if u get in or not
i remember this happening to someone else like a week or two ago
in this channel 😭
usaco plat is pretty impressive bro idk
but having plat on ur application vs having gold on ur application won't have THAT much of a difference
bro i feel like usaco plat is a big deal
that being said apparently state schools aren’t that like
idk they care more about stats maybe
i had silver before
on my application
bro went from silver to plat in record time wtf 😭
there's only been two comps since ea right
gs bro
congrats
not in record time
and i was gold div before
but thanks man!
😭
😔
If it makes u feel better I only know of one camper who got admitted to gt this cycle meaning gt probably just doesn't rate usaco that much
Congrats on plat tho, and good luck with your gt and your other decisions!
not me whos never done usaco in my life ☠️
he probably said that cz every cs/ce major and their mom does usaco but still a crazy thing to say considering plat
