#

ruby stone
#

Do you think itd be less competitive if I apply there as an IE

crisp citrus
#

icl I dont think it matters that much

#

apply whichever major you want and seesm to fit most with your application

#

you gotat be killed bro

#

these international students doing too much

#

but yeah i think thats perfect then

ruby stone
#

im not international 😭

crisp citrus
#

oh

ruby stone
#

oos pennsylvania

crisp citrus
#

you still doing too much

#

when you said worked with producer in asia i kinda assumed you lived in asia

#

thats on me

#

wait

#

you didnt apply ea?

ruby stone
#

yeah lol, i only did a lot for this project cause it was actually a genuine passion project. Like I had zero thoughts of college apps when I was doing this because ive always had this idea and figured i would wait until i get a formal education to do it but i just couldnt wait and decided to give it a shot as a high schooler

ruby stone
#

ea2

crisp citrus
#

oh

#

then why are you still stressing over it

#

whats over is over big man

ruby stone
#

ive been stressing everyday man

crisp citrus
#

now the move is you just wait

ruby stone
#

crisp citrus
#

ruby stone
#

crisp citrus
#

ruby stone
#

crisp citrus
#

ruby stone
#

I got accepted for a research position at kennewsaw state college which is literally 20 min from georgia tech but it meant Id have to live in georgia alone for 2 months and miss the last 3 weeks of my junior year

crisp citrus
#

if I may ask whyd you apply to that position then

#

seems a little counterintuitive

ruby stone
#

kennesaw also has so many partnerships with gtech i feel like i wouldve had a guaranteed admission to gtech if I did that

crisp citrus
#

who knows

#

is ga your numbe r1?

ruby stone
crisp citrus
#

i see

ruby stone
crisp citrus
#

if thats the case you coudlve tried

oh my ec's were pretty mid but i think my course rigor def carried me

#

cuz i was doing the gt de math y2

stone current
#

oh damn

#

im not in gt math that prob also fried me

#

but like ive taken every hard ap and am in gt cs so hopefully i get in🤞

#

apparntly most cs students come from rd so

#

after beng deferred i ahve a chance

main hound
#

best of luck to u man

#

last year had 86% of gt cs de people get in

#

so odds are in ur favor

#

im an IB diploma student taking HL Math A&A, Physics, and CS (idk why i took CS) and i managed to achieve 7s in all of them for my junior year of highschool

#

geography SL is at a 6 and both english and french SL are at 5s

#

and freshman and sophomore year were all honors with only As (school doesnt offer APs at all)

#

so i hope my grades r good enough oos

main hound
#

ah well if ur talking to me i have zero clue about anything to do with ib but i think as long as ur course rigor is high very few b's u should be good

#

they weigh ur gpa and course rigor the most in ur application

tough wren
#

i think i had decent stats and okay ecs but deferred oh well

stone current

is georgia tech business admin really competitive to get into

#

I applied with a 1550

#

and some good business ECs

torpid harbor
#

how important is a 4.0 for oos applicants

#

i had a B in calc BC junior year

lavish glen
#

it's that major if u get a single B. at least based on what i saw in my school

#

it also depends on major tho

#

but, tbh, a decent chunk of ppl applied CS/math and got in with B's

torpid harbor
#

i applied business admin @lavish glen

lavish glen
#

it's not

#

thats what i meant

torpid harbor
#

oh okay

lavish glen
#

oh my god my brain is so fried

torpid harbor
#

LMAO

istg this is what writing essays does to me

business admin is less comp anyway right

11 papers is unrealistic and usually impossible

lavish glen
torpid harbor
#

from any hs student

torpid harbor
#

these damn nepos

#

its alr

#

i want an economical good state school

#

unfort didnt apply ea to purdue

#

so i might get clapped with no gtech

#

just gonna crapshoot the ivies ig

lavish glen
#

nah gtech is chill for business, you'll get in. Even purdue is chill RD esp if u have a GPA pretty close to 4.0

torpid harbor
#

purdue im applying industrial engineering

#

which will be fye

#

so im cooked possibly

#

gtech industrial is impossible

#

so i didnt try

#

the engineering department @ purdue is just so hard in general but way easier ea than rd

lavish glen
#

ig yeah, im personally not that knowledgeable abt purdue but ya i did heard industrial was a pain

#

but hey, in the end, you only need one to accept you

#

any ivy, or purdue/gtech, etc

torpid harbor
#

fuck maybe ill apply to eng management then

#

i just need something that remotely fits me in the eng department

#

bc every engineering major gets first year eng

torpid harbor
#

crapshoot it is!!

#

helloooo stanford admit

#

grats!!

lavish glen
#

congrats!

#

oh damn

torpid harbor
#

oh i swear i thought u said u got it

#

yesyerday

#

LMAO

#

npnp

#

agreed

#

such a lie

#

1-3 pages is NOT a paper

lavish glen
#

i think it was this or conference

torpid harbor
#

a highschool essay is also NOT a paper

torpid harbor
lavish glen
#

yeah true, idk lol hopefully im saved during RD cycle 🙏

torpid harbor
#

#

its like 30-50% accept i think

#

might be wrong

lavish glen
torpid harbor
#

Yes!!

crisp citrus
#

does georgia compare to applicants in your school or in your district or like in your area.

how do they contextualize your app in the space around you

School and or region (county)

#

How much does GT prioritize the mid year report, I’m afraid I’ll get 2 Bs in a few of my classes since they’re really difficult

crisp citrus
#

teh highschools in our county differ greatly in opportunities

#

whereas the other offers 35 aps ours only offers 20

#

so i wont get penalized for taking 14?

shell eagle
#

Like are you challenging yourself by taking as much as you possibly can

crisp citrus
#

#

does georgia look at midyear report during admissions

It’s not like you can control how much aps there are

idk how good that is but who knows

also yeha that’s why didn’t take that many aps

because i had to in order to chamber

u do college early ❤️‍🩹
nah its just that in 11th and 12th you do dual enrollment at the college you're located at

crisp citrus

becuase our school has a few applying to ga tech but i am significantly stronger than them

shell eagle
crisp citrus
#

ohhhh

shell eagle
#

but we were all different majors

crisp citrus
#

also people who have ed binding they rescind their apps right, so they arent counted in the final total thats released?

shell eagle
#

yeah but only if they rescind their apps (which they should but if they dont then they would be counted i think)

crisp citrus
#

so they arent considered for admission

shell eagle
#

sure

crisp citrus
#

how many people from yoru class applied to ga tech?

oh 4

thats insane

where do you thinjk you ranked among the,

@shell eagle how much do you think building my own wind tunnel for measuring drag forces on nose cones for my IB physics extended essay will help me

#

i had my physics teacher write me a LOR about it cause he was my EE supervisor and it serves as a stamp of credibility to tell the AOs im not bullshitting

#

lowkenuienly hope my academics are enough as an IB student

#

and i feel like building my own wind tunnel as an aerospace major will help me stand out cuz liek how many kids have done that? plus its like hella aligned with my major and from what ive heard they really wanna see shit aligned with ur major. idk georgia tech is my dream school i hope i can get in dawg.

i cross the SAT bar(1510 superscore) but i hope they won't knock me down too much for my IB performance

i got 7s in HL math, physics, and computer science but i got 5s in french and english and a 6 in geography. I mean for an engineering school that shouldn't matter too much. this was for junior year

tho i did drop from a 7 to a 6 in physics for my semester 1 senior year but I went up to a 6 in english but fell down to a 5 in geography so my total dropped by a point. I guess that's normal cause the ib curriculum does ramp up like hella (some of my friends droped like 3-4 points). Kept my other 7s tho so that's nice..

man i just cant stop thinking about this fucking decision dude i know it comes out in like 40 days but still

whatd you talk about specifically

basically like "when i built my wind tunnel my passion for aerospace grew blah blah" then i said something like "sustainable flight is something we should focus on and my wind tunnel showed me this" and then i talked about the ASDL, (aerospace systems design labratory) and name dropped a professor and some courses and said that georgia tech will help me contribute to humanity achieving sustainable flight
