Georgia Tech (2025-2026)

[prisma violet]

Can u b more specific

[lavish glen]

social atmoposhere

like the people

students

[lucid canopy]

i would think very georgian

or techian

[timber prism]

what about both?

nah that would be insane

unthinkable

[lucid canopy]

i can't even fathom that

[granite stone]

I think it’s big enough of a school u can find whoever like obviously there’s stereotypical engineering kids but also tons of ppl who go out and like socializing

[prisma violet]

Normal

they updated the decision date on the portal

Jan 30th! for EA2

[flat hollow]

Yep was just about to say this!

[lucid canopy]

oh shoot it doesn't

i'm guessing 7 i think that's when they usually do it

[timber prism]

i think 7 pm est

thats my guess

[shell eagle]

It’s prolly 7pm est

[long river]

So im gonna have like 4 decisions on the 30th

[timber prism]

ill have 2 unless umich actually commits to this "waves" thing

[crisp citrus]

aight goodluck then

interesting

[crisp citrus]

yeah i dont kno weithe ri just lied to you

i applied meche

[vague sage]

cool!!

[crisp citrus]

!

not as comp as cs thankfully

orr to my knwoledge at least

[vague sage]

yeah but then again it’s pretty good for engineering though in general

but idrk

[crisp citrus]

hmm fun

hopefully ill see you on campus!

or something like that idk

oh wait female cs applicant might lokw just get you auto admitted

WAS THAT WHAT YOUW ERE TALKING ABOUT LMFAO

[astral island]

LESGO

[crisp citrus]

is that you as well

LMFAO

well idk

literally born to fail becuase I was born as a man

[astral island]

..

[crisp citrus]

im mostly kidding

but ga tech im pretty sure tries to balance as clsoe to 50 50 as possible

and they get a lot less female applicants im sure

[astral island]

vruh same w cmu and they din take me 😞

[crisp citrus]

just becuase cmu doesnt want you doesnt mean other colleges want you any less

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1400591094298706070/1451368988826406912/IMG_0051.gif

someone hit me with that when I asked

[cedar dagger]

probably uncle bits im ngl

[astral island]

aww ty

[crisp citrus]

i lowk sold my app

i shoudlve put mse firrst overr me

[flat hollow]

i did math and computing

[crisp citrus]

i cant tell if mech e is that popularr

once agian ive talked to so many opeopel applyign to gt

and only one other dude wanted to do meche

eveyrbody else was on like chem, comp, cs, math, or business

am I nuts?

[winter wolf]

bro

[crisp citrus]

is mech e not by far the most popularr?

[empty light]

female aerospace major ‼️ maybe I have a chance (I’m being delusional I’m too stupid for GT)

[magic juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/planes-flying-gif-8912022

[empty light]

Why did you choose your major: “i leik planes :3”

[magic juniper]

valid tho

[empty light]

hopefully i get in ‼️

[magic juniper]

gl 🫡

[empty light]

Also congrats on Cornell cs!

Super impressive stuff

[magic juniper]

ahh tyty

[lavish glen]

oh CS in A&S or Eng?

[magic juniper]

a&s

i want to double major in linguistics or cognitive science so

only a&s offers that

[lavish glen]

oh cool lol i applied CS at A&S too, maybe we'll see each other in fall 🤞

[magic juniper]

oh W

[lavish glen]

congrats on getting in!

[magic juniper]

ty 🐐

[vague sage]

yes bro

so far stanford is sexist but im also not fgli urm SOOOOOOO

[crisp citrus]

so many women in stem

its actually empoering

[lavish glen]

nah lowkey CS is pretty hard. nearly everyone who did stanford REA (any major) got rejected at my school lmao, and a lot of girls applied CS w/ like bioeng or something

[empty light]

I don’t think anyone i know of got into Stanford rea, bro rea was brutal at my school

[vague sage]

thats fun

yeah i barely know anyone in my school district that got in

[lavish glen]

someone w/ like infinite legacy got in at my district, but her mom or dad work there so there's that ig

[vague sage]

weow

only have legacy at lehigh but i dont wnana go there

anywhere else plz

[empty light]

Ik someone’s parents who both went to Cornell…so they got legacy there

now me personally my parents didn’t attend college here so I’m just going into this completely blind (peak immigrant experience)

[lavish glen]

yeah idk it's kinda weird

[lavish glen]

lmfao me too

[magic juniper]

one of my friend's dad is a cs professor at cornell... guess where he is going lol

[empty light]

Oh yay twinsies!! (My parents think I’m cracked and I have a good shot everywhere)

[magic juniper]

ye me too my parents went to uni in china

[vague sage]

my dad thinks i will get into berkeley 🥀

and usc

and pricneotn

[lavish glen]

hahahahha yeah def immigrant experience lol, esp if ur asian

i have a ton of friends whose parents are making them apply to like MIT and all

[empty light]

Yeah bro, my parents don’t really understand much about how college apps work so i explain it to them repeatedly—they still don’t really get it

Now they’re just like

Focused on the financials

Which is completely valid

[lavish glen]

ngl if u get into like princeton and have to go into some debt for it, it's worth it depending on ur major

[empty light]

They think i have a shot at some of my hardcore reach schools 💔

[sterile grotto]

do unis only accept person from each school for the major, coz there is someone else at my school who applied for MechE and has the same GPA but higher SAT and I mean 60 points higher

[magic juniper]

not really, no uni has a exact quota for a school

[vague sage]

^^

[empty light]

Oh lol I didn’t apply to ANY Ivy League schools (shocking for a2c, but I did apply to some of the hypsm)

[vague sage]

huhh

[sterile grotto]

so if we both show qualities that GTech likes they can accept both of us rigght?

[vague sage]

does that just mean sm

[magic juniper]

yeah

[sterile grotto]

cool cool

AHHHHAHAHHAHAHH

[empty light]

yeah just Stanford and mit, but those were for giggles imo

[sterile grotto]

cool cool

[lavish glen]

wats hyspm

[empty light]

I alr had my mit interview so I’ve accepted my fate of not getting in LMAO

[vague sage]

real i also applied to mit for the shits and giggles even tho everyone that applied basically got deferred!!!!

[magic juniper]

harvard yale stanford princeton mit

[lavish glen]

gosh darn u guys have acronyms for this now?

[empty light]

It’s an acronym

[magic juniper]

it's kind of a a2c dog whistle atp

[vague sage]

LMAO

[magic juniper]

along with "T20"

[empty light]

I kinda associate it with college brainrot ngl

I never really say it out loud

[lavish glen]

HAHAHAHHAHAHHA

[vague sage]

i probably might slip up and do this one day

[empty light]

I visibly cringed when I accidentally said t20 to a friend, almost cried

[lavish glen]

nah you should shoot your shot for these schools. Like, it didn't turn out too bad for me, even tho im kinda dumb

like pick a couple that u really wanna go to and try lol. ig idk my mentality is i'd be more disappointed if i didn't try

[empty light]

yeah for me, I’d rather get rejected and tried than just never trying in the first place

It’s just the waiting process is so nerve wracking

[lavish glen]

like, for ex, somehow stanford deferred me REA lol. ppl from my school who got rejected from stanford had like tons of volunteer hours, research, nonprofits, etc. It's kinda funny cuz i had the most random stats and got deferred lmao

[vague sage]

yeah

have to wait 2 weeks fo gtech 💔

[vague sage]

maybe you had a potential narrative or sum you never know

[lavish glen]

bro i wrote my essays like two week before, cuz i went "oh hey, i didn't do any private schools EA round, might as well"

[empty light]

You have a chance twin

You got it

[magic juniper]

a stanford deferral is lowk good i think they accept alot of ppl from the deferred pool

[empty light]

I tried to be as genuine as possible in my writing, hopefully colleges see that

[lavish glen]

u gotta end each essay with "if (or when) i become a billionaire, i'll donate money to the college"

[empty light]

You’re a genius

I think I have 2 other schools coming out same day as GT

that’s gonna be a really fun day

[lavish glen]

i think they do lol, esp Cornell. I know ppl who didn't have the best stats but got in cuz they had really good essays.

[sterile grotto]

There is GTech, UIUC, and UWisc on 30th right?

[empty light]

Yeah and I think umich ea as well

[sterile grotto]

I though UMich was rolling?

[empty light]

Nope

[sterile grotto]

damn all the best bro

[empty light]

You too

[vague sage]

omg yes

either i get massacred or the other

HAHAHAHHAAH

[sterile grotto]

bro, I think if by some miracle GTech take me (international, so no chance) then i will withdraw my ED2

[empty light]

hopefully they REALLY like me 🙏 please

GT please

[shell cape]

gtech doesnt like international students?

[sterile grotto]

i mean in state has almost 30% acceptance while OOS and international have around 7-8%

so they prefer in state and then ofc OOS and then international.

[lavish glen]

yeah lol they only like in state, but it should be fine cuz they mainly seem to care about like GPA & coursework

[shell cape]

holy what

[crisp citrus]

how do you not know this

[sterile grotto]

My school had 4 accptences to Gtech for class of 28 and then 0 for class of 29

so i might be cooked

[lavish glen]

nah past trends aren't really that indicative, esp for international

[lavish glen]

every state school prefers instate lol

they're funded by the state, ex case for UCs

[shell cape]

oh ok

[sterile grotto]

Higher power just put me into Gtech

like just drop me in

ill figure it out

[empty light]

Some ppl just aren’t aware lol

[lavish glen]

you'll get in twin

[crisp citrus]

true

[sterile grotto]

with my stats no

[wide snow]

I’m over here Georging my tech I got Georgia on my tech rn I’m just georging my shit. I’m Georgia as fuuuuck man I’m a tech maaan like fr

[lavish glen]

my eyes have been violated lmao what

[sterile grotto]

BRO STOP THE WEED

[empty light]

Me during schools hours talking about GT be like:

[shell cape]

bro is shakespeare's inspiration

[wide snow]

who else getting like hella decisions back in 2 days

[empty light]

Purdue and UT for me 💔

[wide snow]

WTF those are the same schools for me as well

UT Austin right?

[sterile grotto]

AHHHHAHAHHA

[empty light]

Expecting a defer from UT ngl

[sterile grotto]

PURDUE for me

[wide snow]

Same bro it’s hella impossible to get in oos

[empty light]

YEESH im sorry 💔

I’m in state UT

So thankfully I’m not too fried

[wide snow]

Yuh

[empty light]

But PURDUE

I’m so nervous

[wide snow]

Same dawg

We got it tho

[empty light]

you applied aero correct?

[wide snow]

Ima get some sleep now I’m lwk up too late for a school night

Yeah

Aero for everything

[empty light]

okay yeah me too

[empty light]

I have a physics c test tmmrw 💔

[shell cape]

same

[sterile grotto]

also at GTech is there a way to combine UG+PG+PhD?

[crisp citrus]

that’s dtm

are you doing grad at ga?

[empty light]

What’s that?

[crisp citrus]

are you not gonna try applying elsewhere

[crisp citrus]

doing to much

[empty light]

Oh wait lmao I forgot that’s a thing 💔

[sterile grotto]

Gtech is very good so if its Gtech then no

but if its CWRU or smt then ima try better unis for sure

[crisp citrus]

grad school is a less comp for admissions no?

you might as well try

[solar badger]

Same what one

I got SHM. I love it

[astral island]

yoo lowk me too

[cedar dagger]

tech & uiuc on the same day... how we feelin gangalang

my poor heart can't handle 2 rejections in 1 day noooo

[fair reef]

but it can handle 2 acceptances

🙂

[long river]

I can't handle 4 bro 🥀

We will be so cooked

[shell eagle]

i had my first aerospace class yesterday, thats literally what half the ppl i talked to said 💀

that or rockets

only heard one other guy say satellites 🙏

[empty light]

I’m more into satellites too and probes as well I think I mentioned that in my essay

[shell eagle]

reall

[empty light]

Hopefully GT finds my application humorous enough that they accidentally slide it to the acceptance pile 🙏

[hollow patio]

Good luck everyone for ea2

[spare ibex]

gng if i get into gt i swear i finna switch up on my day1s 🤩

[shell eagle]

😭

real

maybe

actually dont do that

[spare ibex]

well we wont know until jan 30th

[lucid canopy]

WE wll all be doing this

[prisma violet]

how many of yall applied XS

CS

[soft needle]

me

[lucid canopy]

i did comp eng

[cold egret]

I did CS 🥀

[crisp citrus]

satellites are niche

[prisma violet]

mfs think they getting in

[narrow igloo]

CM > CS

[shut heath]

how competitive is biomedical engineering at georgia tech compared to mech e for admission

im having regrets of applying biome

[ruby stone]

Are you guys able to sign in to your application portal?

Is anyone else getting this error?

Someone please try to sign in to their account and lmk

It started by telling me I had incorrect password and email even though I know its correct cause I had it written down

and then it showed this when i tried to reset the password

http://application.gatech.edu/apply/status

[timber prism]

i can sign in fine

[cold egret]

yeah I'm able to log in too

[ruby stone]

was my application that bad 😭

mfs banned me

[shell eagle]

oh

[astral island]

me

[tough wren]

just submitted my dsf

pray for me

[ruby stone]

What does it ask you?

[tough wren]

it basically js asked like

150 words about any resume updates

your midyear transcript or self reported grades

and any updated schedule changes for spring sem

[astral island]

what is dsf

[empty light]

I assume it’s the mid year update

[astral island]

are we supposed to submit that?

oh Deferred Supplemental Form (DSF)

?? how did anyone get deferred

oh in statee

[prisma violet]

mech e is more competitive

[ruby stone]

What is most competitive from these

Aerospace
MechE
Electrical
Computer
Industrial
Biomed

[fair reef]

comp

[ruby stone]

compE not CS

[fair reef]

i know...

compE is the most competitive from these

esp in this uni

[narrow igloo]

how competitive is CM

assuming your profile aligns

[crisp citrus]

💔

thats what i applied

was not aware it was that ocmeptitive comapred ot others

2500 vs 2100

[magic juniper]

meche is probably the most competitive engineering, maybe ee/ce is more comp

[crisp citrus]

yeah thats true

[magic juniper]

it's just a very general/foundational eng

[crisp citrus]

but a lot of peopel applying meche are just robotics

like msot of the cracked peopel with hella ec's and what not

theyre tapped in with more niche engineering

the mech e pool seems more staturated with jsut "normal" hs kids

[spare ibex]

how competitive is maths

?

[viral heart]

is applied and comp math a new major?

[fair reef]

yes

[flat hollow]

they arent taking app updates btw.. got an emial back saying they arent

[umbral dirge]

a friend of mine was allowed an update after they won an award, this was 2 days ago and got email confirmation

[shell eagle]

its 15 days before results drop is there even a point in submitting updates 💀

unless theyre extremely important

[flat hollow]

i submited it like a month before... they now just got back to me

[shell eagle]

💀

crazy

[flat hollow]

maybe this means i got lke deferred or somthing

[lucid canopy]

what did you try to add to your app

[flat hollow]

a publication, and some ambassador role for a foundation

[lucid canopy]

maybe they only take information like new classes/awards/ecs

[flat hollow]

maybe so

[lucid canopy]

yea i don't think they will take publications now they would probably only take information, publications count as supp info and usually you add it to your portal

but idk why they wouldn't just note down a new role that makes no sense

[flat hollow]

they are basically saying that they already can make a decision on my current information and this new information won't change my deicsion

so it oculd either be bad or good

[lucid canopy]

that is not what they are saying 😭

[flat hollow]

?

[lucid canopy]

they are saying they could piece together what kind of an applicant you are based on everything you've already submitted and adding stuff won't change much

[flat hollow]

didn't i just say this

[lucid canopy]

yea but it doesn't mean that it could either be good or bad

it doesn't mean anything at all

[flat hollow]

sure

thats fair to say

[lucid canopy]

they would probably say that to everyone who would try to add the same info

[flat hollow]

yeah tbh

[lucid canopy]

they're basically just saying that adding that won't impact your decision

and also they probably made at least 90% of decisions yet

i don't think the person who responded to your email looked at your file or anything

[flat hollow]

probs not

[umbral dirge]

My friend updated their app with STS Top 300, his email was much shorter like "Congrats, we've appended it to your file" idk

[ruby stone]

@fair reef can you rank all these in competitiveness

[zenith egret]

The frick i sent them an email like a week ago and they didnt even respond to me

[austere marlin]

if i have a mistake on my common app would they take it>

[timber prism]

how big a mistake? might not even be worth it to bring attention to it

[prisma violet]

depends on the severity

[prisma violet]

theyre all p competitive

but id say IE and CompE are def near the top

bc tech doesnt accept by major

https://lite.gatech.edu/home-content-internal-pages/Admissions Dashboard

go peep some of the stats on here

it may look like they do admit by major but they dont some majors just have so many people applying to them

end of the day apply as the major you want bc applying as some bullshit probably wont give you any higher of a chance of getting in

[lucid canopy]

im cooked 😭

should i switch to electrical if i still can

[prisma violet]

no it wont rlly matter

[lucid canopy]

are you sure

[austere marlin]

its a typo on a number

on my ecs

[timber prism]

like how big a typo? does it over represent the impact?

*by a significant amount

[austere marlin]

yk

NASA CiS
Created a 5x5x5 cm cube allowed to be sent to space; can capture up to 10?2? Coulombs from space ion clouds; powers a T14 LED light

this is what it looks like

[timber prism]

hmm

not great

[austere marlin]

yeah

waht do i do

[timber prism]

icl i dont know anything

[austere marlin]

shud i send an email

[timber prism]

its something they'll probably notice so sending the email wont bring extra attention but idk

[thin zodiac]

it's something to do with the type of character use in the textbox

whenever AI edited my ec description it used a weird type of dash that wasn't recognized by the common app textbox and showed up as a question mark

so I don't think it's your fault and you could ask them

if u want

[austere marlin]

ok

i feel kinfa hopeless rn

[naive ledge]

its ok there was someone that posted like a pic of thier submitted UC app with "chatgpt said" in the ec box im sure theres worse trust

[timber prism]

citing sources 🫡

[austere marlin]

wow

shud i send an eamil

[naive ledge]

its prob fine LOL

[austere marlin]

I will ngl

whats a webinar btw

[austere marlin]

so who at the webinar

[flat hollow]

what webinar

[shell eagle]

NASA CIS MENTIONED 🗣️ also when did they increase it to 5cm we only had 4 💀

[crimson jungle]

do u need to send the midyear report if u already got in

[austere marlin]

yeah they increased to 5

[shell eagle]

Damn

[crisp citrus]

whats nasa cis

[austere marlin]

nasa cubes in space

[crisp citrus]

i see

sounds very prestigious

[wide snow]

Got deferred for 2 colleges today and I’m lwk not even sure if I can get into tech now lmao

[sterile grotto]

I deferred from Purd and Rejected from CMU!!

I might just withdraw GTech

cant handle another rejection

[crisp citrus]

one college rejection does not determine another college acceptance

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1400591094298706070/1451368988826406912/IMG_0051.gif

as much as i would love to thin the pool of high talent

it would be a disservice

@wide snow @sterile grotto

🤗

[prisma violet]

I got deferred from tech and I graduate in May

[mystic leaf]

What are like the lowest stats you have seen someone get into GTech oos with?

[prisma violet]

Idk

[shut heath]

same boat

[crisp citrus]

there is always hope

[prisma violet]

sorry let me specify that

i got deferred from tech and i graduate from tech in May

[blazing snow]

ea2 dropping jan 30 7pm est

[reef plank]

Yep we have it pinned

[empty light]

Hopefully I get in to GTech

Would love to go if I do

[mystic leaf]

Same

My stats, PS, and ECs are very good
I could have done better on my Georgia Tech essay, but it's still solid
Awards are my weak point. My biggest award is winning $1250 for my performance in CS, which isn't much compared to the big applicants

[prisma violet]

Why

[prisma violet]

Why

Also tbh it’s gatech not gtech

[crisp citrus]

is that a thing of college

you correct peopel when they mis abbreviate

[lucid canopy]

if i get into gt i will buy everyone a yellow jacket

[crisp citrus]

ill hold you to that

[empty light]

Cuz I like the school?

[empty light]

At this point I’m referring to it as GT now, I’ve been confusing the abbreviations too much

[crisp citrus]

ngl this cs shit seems wayy more competitive

[solar badger]

do i need to send first semester senior grades if i get deferred early action?

[crisp citrus]

theyll probably say

[main hound]

ur mind cant handle an electronic letter?

its never that deep gng

[shell eagle]

LMFAO

yeah i mean they dont mail you a physical copy of the rejection letter they mail you a physical copy of the acceptance letter 🤷

[prisma violet]

yes

[shell eagle]

peopel 🔥

[shell eagle]

ok ngl tho. i remember this one guy last year got rejected from like 3 schools on one day (including uiuc and gt) and i think he went insane and went batshit crazy (as in saying really concerning stuff about hurting himself or others) in the general channels before he got banned so uh 😭🙏

wonder what hes doing rn !!

[prisma violet]

technically gatech shouldnt be used either

[shell eagle]

i remember the days when i used gtech 🥀 (8 months ago)

[crisp citrus]

is it always just gt now

[crisp citrus]

wat majorr are you btw

[shell eagle]

ae

[crisp citrus]

i see

[prisma violet]

ae

[crisp citrus]

how do second choice majors work in application?

[prisma violet]

question of the hour

u do get one free switch tho

[crisp citrus]

you goty no idea?

i applied mech e virst then materials engineering second

if i dont get chosen for me i hope they reconsider me for rmse

[prisma violet]

genuinely no idea how first or second choice majors work lol

[crisp citrus]

all g

youre mse right?

[prisma violet]

yeah

[crisp citrus]

i see

[prisma violet]

im sure if they dont have space in the first one u get the secon done

no idea

[crisp citrus]

isnt it really small populace?

[prisma violet]

yeah

[shell eagle]

idfk what i was thinking i put the planetary earth science thing or wtv as my second choice LMAO

[crisp citrus]

ngl id be fine with eitherr I get in for

mse is less ideal but it works

i had a professor write a rec letter for me is that w or l

[prisma violet]

an mse professor?

[shell eagle]

you are allowed one free major change over the summer (i think) except if its into cs so like idt its that big of a deal

[crisp citrus]

nope

yeah nah im not trryan do cs

published 1 app but its absoltue garb

i had no idea what i was doing when is tarted

was mostly all if else

since i havent been paying a ayears worrth of ga taxes

well not me idk why i said me

my friend

but if she gets deferred she gets instate chance

[median geyser]

Dream school but im not getting in cause my freshman year 😭 good luck to everyone else, i went there once and the campus was beautiful

[safe steppe]

guys I'm lowkey terrified 😨😰

[prisma violet]

Why

[solar badger]

if you guys were to compare CMU campus with GT, which one is better?

[timber prism]

i never visited gt but i love cmu's campus a lot

pittsburgh is a great city too

[solar badger]

ik i loved the campus. Downtown pittsburg is filled with life and the campus is beautiful during the spring

I've also heard GT is a good campus but it's so far from me that I haven't gone there

[ruby stone]

personally I despise pittsburgh

terrible weather in comparison to atlanta

CMU also has ridiculous alcohol and drug abuse rates

high levels of depression coupled with gloomy weather most of the time

• insane course rigor

[astral island]

oh

[safe steppe]

for the decision 😨

[prisma violet]

CMU is so depressing

Pitt campus is next door and way better CMU is literally the gulag

It’s like Bloc from cod4

Case western is way worse

[astral island]

this will be my cope when i get rejected

[mighty pewter]

my dad visited pittsburgh and when he was walking through the cmu campus he kept saying the students looked dead inside

[umbral dirge]

Still think this is so weird - but i did confirm that my friend got the email that they were able to append the award onto their profile on 1/14. Maybe 1/15 was their cutoff?

[astral island]

bruh

[flat hollow]

Possibly

Maybe too many people doing it

[zenith egret]

Wait they lose emails? I sent something on the 8th and they didnt get back to me

[umbral dirge]

hmmm, the friend i was talking about also sent on 8th - maybe worth a follow up, but maybe too late

[mystic leaf]

Went there during the summer
Amazing-looking city, but way too much smoke
And somewhat shady at night ngl

I stayed right in the city center, though, so it might be different outside of that

[prisma violet]

All big cities are shady at night tbh

[crisp citrus]

truth nuke

have you ever had a “baggiest jeans in atlanta” moment

[prisma violet]

Yes

[crisp citrus]

did you take a photo

[prisma violet]

No

[crisp citrus]

☹️

[flat hollow]

i just got an email telling me to apply for finan aid?

i didn't even say anywhere i inteded to apply for aid

[umbral hawk]

ya same

[spare ibex]

yo does anyone know what oscar and buzzport is? its so confusing

[flint nova]

Buzzport is a site that has different other portals su can access

Oscar is one of those portals where u can register for classes look at ur financial aid etc

[mystic leaf]

OOS admits

What were your stats and ECs? If you don't mind me asking

[spare ibex]

it hasnt come out yet

[mystic leaf]

Previous years

[spare ibex]

ahh okay! good luck for the 30th mate

[flint nova]

I imagine robotics is what likely got me in

Tahts what my common essay + some of my supp was about as well

But I also had two internships

That + 4 years dedicated to FIRST is likely what got me in

[upper lichen]

jorja

[lucid canopy]

what were ur test scores if you don't mind saying

[tawdry juniper]

am i cooked for jan 30th, I have a 1420 but really good grades + 10 aps with 4s and 5s on all and good Ec's

I applied for Envirometnal engineering and enviormental science as my second

[pine salmon]

i have the opposite, 1500 sat but doggy grades

[tawdry juniper]

What do you think is better? good grades or good SAT?

I feel like if you have a 1500+ and a's and b's grades it's better then all A's and a 1450 and below

[pine salmon]

more like only b's

[flint nova]

1530 and 36

[flint nova]

Good grades because colleges ca somewhat understand that a single standardized test score doesn’t define a person, it why most colleges even went optional at some point, though I believe that isn’t the case nowadays

But if your grades are lacking you can always provide not an “excuse” but some sort of explanation in the additional info section such as working overtime to support your family, spending a lot of time caring for your siblings when your parents aren’t home, what you learnt from these experiences, etc

[royal moss]

NO ONES getting deffered

[rugged breach]

What? Why not?

[mystic leaf]

Do you think a 1510 will be fine for OOS

[fluid cipher]

cause everyone here will get in

ofc

[solar badger]

do you think a 3.82 unweighted gpa with 13 AP courses taken (7 up until end of junior year and 6 senior year) with no AP scores from sophomore and junior submitted with 1510 (800 math & 710 EBRW) SAT get accepted oos for cs? ECs are good for cs but not as many strong national awards

[fluid cipher]

i dont know but I have a feeling you'll get in

[solar badger]

thx but it's GT. Like literally 4-5% of people get in for cs out of state. I'd be excited if i got in but idk if i will

[flint nova]

No ur cooked bro 1600 only

[ruby stone]

Applications only rose by 1k this year

68k total applicants

last year was 67k

and year before was like 50 something

2 years ago there were 14k CS applicants and now theres 7k. Crazy.

[ruby stone]

@thin zodiac ?

lol what

[ruby stone]

This year is probably the best year possible for a CS applicant because the number of CS applicants almost halved this year

[solar badger]

why is the acceptance rate .1%

[ruby stone]

cause oos decisions arent out yet

my guess is that those are recruited athletes

or stamps scholars

[crisp citrus]

ngl my activities are kinda mid but my gpa and what not is good

4.0 uw with 13 aps

and also a lotta math classes like diff eq lin alg logic and set theory and multi variable

which our school did not wright for some reason

💔

[narrow igloo]

same boat as you

[crisp citrus]

and gt puts more emphasis on that as well so

🤷‍♂️

what are your access like

activities

my awards is also lowkey weak

[solar badger]

my school is easy on students and ngl students here are not the brightest, but in neighboring school districts, the kids in those schools are pretty smart.

like my school is in a school district of 4 schools

each of those 4 are in seperate towns

my school in particular isn't super competitive

and the other two are pretty tough

[crisp citrus]

we deadass have 3 highschool for our city

and NONE of them are comp

[solar badger]

3? There must be a bias that one is better than the other

or smth

[solar badger]

well that's a good thing

it helps you and maybe puts the bar lower

[crisp citrus]

well yeah one is better but it’s not like good

[narrow igloo]

a lot of it is school stuff

leadership in everything ofc

[crisp citrus]

everything?

[narrow igloo]

It is not, that’s EA1 only

[terse nova]

why does it say 4.2 acceptance rate bro

[narrow igloo]

Because it’s EA1 acceptances over EA1 + EA2 applicants

[lucid canopy]

probably not very

but its gt

Gatech is my top choice but all my other top places I got deferred

[empty light]

Cooked

[tawdry juniper]

I’m cooked

[fair reef]

what’s the acceptance rate for the math+cs major?

math and computing

[prisma violet]

idk this is the first year its existed

plus gt doesnt accept by major

[flat hollow]

i applied there!!

[prisma violet]

so acceptance rate by major isnt a thing

[flat hollow]

do they accept to a college?

[prisma violet]

no

[flat hollow]

so its just to gt

[prisma violet]

yes

[flat hollow]

i see

[placid skiff]

oos accpetance rate last year for EA2 was around 8%

https://admission.gatech.edu/images/pdf/2025-EA2-Admitted-Profile(w).pdf

[fair reef]

same

do u know if more or less people applied for it

[fair reef]

arent some majors more competitive

[astral island]

coked

[placid skiff]

On their website they say that they take intended major into account for making a "well-rounded class" so the majors that are more applied to are probably naturally more competitive

[fair reef]

yea thats what causes the diff acceptance for each major on lite

[placid skiff]

Yeah ig

But not necessarily any quota per major

[prisma violet]

Yeah

Idk the specifics but applying as a “less competitive major” isn’t gonna help ur chances as much as u think

[fair reef]

yea no quota

[fair reef]

ik ea2 isnt updated but relative to the cs acceptance, comp+math is lower 1.7% from ea1

idk if itll be same for ea2

[crisp citrus]

mse majo rbtw

💔

[prisma violet]

i transferred as a chem major

[crisp citrus]

arent those two differnet colleges

liek cas vs coe

[prisma violet]

yes

[serene sparrow]

bro no way

my friend had him the semester he got fired

[simple willow]

😢

[flat hollow]

800 Oos applicants

300 intl

35 in state

[fair reef]

oh yea I just saw

why intl less

[flat hollow]

because georgia tech doesn't give good intl aid and intl usually shoot for straight CS

[crisp citrus]

was the transfer process easy?

[fair reef]

ah

[placid skiff]

How do you get the major specific stats?

[crisp citrus]

https://lite.gatech.edu/home-content-internal-pages/Admissions Dashboard

you can choose what you wanna look at int he top

[prisma violet]

Do they have unrestricted transfer for this
