Georgia Tech (2025-2026)

[astral island]

where is the recent data

[zealous glen]

i see the recent data

what were your filters?

[astral island]

ah it just is opping on me i see

[crisp citrus]

thats the real one

meche actual all time low

6%

[pine salmon]

whats ece at

or compE

[astral island]

is this same as my filters?

[zealous glen]

try all departments

instead of just dept/comp sci

that should do the trick

[long river]

this is all for everything

[long river]

for males

[astral island]

oh ok

[long river]

for all its 9.5% in 25-26

[crisp citrus]

check it out

[long river]

this year looks like it will be way down though

[pine salmon]

Oh so im cooked

great

[crisp citrus]

here

you can set whatever filters you want

[astral island]

wait so is cs data just not there

[long river]

700 more people applied

will be more around 7.9-8% I think

[crisp citrus]

look trend though

acceptance rate didnt drop[

[solar badger]

How have 16 of oos students already been accepted?

[crisp citrus]

more people applied -> more people accepted

[crisp citrus]

sports/scholars

[long river]

this doesn't make any sense

[solar badger]

oh ok hooks

[astral island]

anyone know cs oos ar

[zealous glen]

the acceptance rate is the same, didn't drop with more apps

[long river]

Now look at the acceptance rate

[long river]

Idk what graphs you're looking at

[crisp citrus]

the previous years is just a given bro

every single major has declined

ebcuase gt just gets more applicants

[long river]

exactly

[crisp citrus]

okay?

8.8 -> 8.7 is pretyt good bro

meche went from 9 -> 5.4

[zealous glen]

does tech acept by major tho

[long river]

what major are you looking at?

[crisp citrus]

no but its considered probably

[long river]

I thought EE

[pine salmon]

oh u can see how many ppl applied for ur major for this current cycle too?

[crisp citrus]

ya

[full fog]

How do u see

[crisp citrus]

go to website

[full fog]

I applied for business so I wanna see that

[zealous glen]

https://lite.gatech.edu/home

[crisp citrus]

business at gt wrap it up

[pine salmon]

so my acceptnce rate is 11%

GG

does this include rd?

[full fog]

Chill 😭

They have some supply chain concentration

Through the business school

[solar badger]

I got a question. If 966 were intially accepted and only 259 enrolled, it means that 707 of students chose somewhere else. Hence, the actual acceptance rate for out of state cs applicants was (966+259)/12251 * 100 = 9.99%, which isn't that bad

is this true?

[long river]

I don't understand what you're trying to get at here

[quasi pagoda]

its likely the admitted people includes the enrolled people

[solar badger]

the acceptance rate is actually higher bc people get off the WL

[solar badger]

yeah

[long river]

Yeah but where did you pull 966 from

[solar badger]

that was the number of people initially accepted

[long river]

it's more likely that "enrolled" included off the waitlist

[long river]

they over admit bcz they know not everyone will attend

[solar badger]

only 256 people enrolled though

[long river]

the number of accepted people isnt the amount of spots they have

[solar badger]

it's that and plus number of people who didn't choose GT

bc other people went somewhere else, freeing up spots

[long river]

What I'm saying is

[pine salmon]

60% yield rate is wild

[long river]

if they accept 50 people, it doesn't mean they have 50 spots

[full fog]

If other people went elsewhere that doesn't move the wl that much

[long river]

they probably have like 30 spots, but know that 2/5 people won't attend

[solar badger]

oh they take in more

[full fog]

They accept for example probably like 100 people if they have 75 spots cuz even they know not all accepted people will enroll

[long river]

yeah

[solar badger]

so the acceptance rate is lower than 9.9%

damn

[long river]

the acceptance rate on the website probably includes getting in off the waitlist

[solar badger]

yeah it prob does

oos cs

they should make it 6.7% for fun this year

[long river]

I saw 0.2 and was about to crash out

[flat hollow]

pls math and computing

[long river]

but then i remembered that that number is skewed

[long river]

oos?

[flat hollow]

yea i am

might be cooked tbh i thought less people would apply

but i guess if there is "computing" in the name and its georgia tech its bound to have a ton of applicants

[long river]

uhm

you're cooked

(my website broke)

I dont think theres any data for the previous years

[full fog]

bro i applied to scheller cuz of the supply chain concentration cuz im prolly doing that and finance

[flat hollow]

its a new major

[long river]

that makes more sense

[full fog]

for oos and asian they accepted 108/940 last year

and only 14 enrolled

[flat hollow]

wait what

[full fog]

13% yield rate is crazy

[flat hollow]

wait how are people oos getting in?

is it through stamps or soemthing

scholarship program

[full fog]

i think the only oos people rn are the ones w hooks

like athletes

[placid skiff]

gemini says "Some out-of-state applicants may receive earlier notification of admission to Georgia Tech through expedited review, often due to exceptionally strong profiles, special recruitment initiatives, or early processing of specific majors"

[pine salmon]

false

[placid skiff]

perhaps 🤷‍♂️

[crisp citrus]

there is one thing i believe where gt reaches out directly

and yeah generally those are athletes on teh data set you currently see

[prisma violet]

lol u cant j trust random AI nonsense w this stuff

current OOS admissions are most likely j athletes from out of state

[placid skiff]

yeah yall are prob right lol

[lucid canopy]

5 days

and 1 hour

[umbral hawk]

source/

[crisp citrus]

i got you

nvm i was looking at the evil statistics

6.2%

[fluid cipher]

holy moly

[umbral hawk]

dude

im cooked

i did meche

[crisp citrus]

its all g

the rate goes downebcuase more peopel are applying and while some may be storng applicants they arent all strong

as gt grows in ropestige more and more applicants find out and they arent alls trong/didnt have strong chances

so they bring down the chances

doesnt mean its that much more slective

[prisma violet]

https://tenor.com/view/holy-moly-gif-2379897567703251318

[crisp citrus]

dude when you applied gt was liek 20% acceptance

holy cheat code

[prisma violet]

more like 35

in state transfer

[crisp citrus]

did you get hit with a trasnfer pathway?

[prisma violet]

no

[static zenith]

yo do u have the link to this?

lowkey wanna play around with it

oh i scrolled up lol and found it lol

[static zenith]

wdym scholars?

sorry just realized that i pinged u twice lol

[crisp citrus]

uh idk i’m pretty sure gt had a direct path though

[crisp citrus]

it’s in chat but you can google gt lite admissions

[static zenith]

tysm

[lucid canopy]

who was the one person that applied to spring and got accepted 😭

and how do i do that

[fluid cipher]

probably because they had extenuating circumstances or something

[lavish glen]

transfer?

[lucid canopy]

this was for first year only

[crisp citrus]

then what do you mean in state transfer

you went to like a georgia college and transferred into gt?

[frigid hamlet]

What time dos gt come out on Friday

I’m so fried 💀

Cs oos

[astral island]

same

[pine salmon]

7pm

[astral island]

check pins

[narrow igloo]

thank god i applied CM

conditional pathway please 🙏

[split thicket]

what's your stats im also applying CS oos

[astral island]

well what for

scoping out the comp?

[split thicket]

??

[astral island]

??

[split thicket]

if u dont wanna share thats cool, just was curious

[astral island]

4.0 1560

[split thicket]

nice

[narrow igloo]

apparently asking for stats is bad

no one asked me but 4.0 1590

[full fog]

yeah bro u got it ✌️

[frigid hamlet]

What is this

[narrow igloo]

got deferred from michigan 🥀

we'll see the supp for this one is better and legacy

[narrow igloo]

computational media

[full fog]

They deferred everyone

I didnt apply there but its what i heard

[lavish glen]

wait list?

[long river]

Literally

[prisma violet]

yeah

i went to in state hs in state college and transferred

[flat hollow]

Damn

Thas pretty good

[narrow igloo]

not good enough for pton 🥀

[flat hollow]

What’s pton

[narrow igloo]

princeton

[flat hollow]

Oh 😭💀

[narrow igloo]

tbf my supps made me sound like a depressed philosopher

i turned it around dw

[flat hollow]

That’s good

I didn’t shoot that high lmaooo

[narrow igloo]

in retrospect that school was not a good fit

gtech on the other hand has a perfect major for me

[flat hollow]

Nice

I low think you got it not many people apply to comp media

[narrow igloo]

it’s around a 15% oos acceptance rate

per the lite thing

it’s insane how this school gives you like ten years of industry experience in four

[shell eagle]

perfect tech student

i had an oos friend get in for cm last year and she lowk a depressed philosopher too 🔥 but she went to rice instead

[narrow igloo]

i did hopeful philosopher for gtech supp

didn’t even apply to rice roll bees

[prisma violet]

this is untrue

[narrow igloo]

CM curriculum does that

[prisma violet]

in what sense

[narrow igloo]

rare that you see a curriculum get so specific

[prisma violet]

thats not gonna be industry experience

[narrow igloo]

it’s semantics I didn’t mean literal industry experience

but at harvard for instance there’s only like 3 relevant courses to this career within their cs program so you’d have to learn procedural design yourself

[empty light]

This is cool

[placid skiff]

Lol people who applied for summer or spring have a >90% acceptance rate

and its been like that since 2017

this is hilarious

[narrow igloo]

did it give you an option to apply to other starts

[placid skiff]

yeah u can customize

[narrow igloo]

wait i was smart W

[placid skiff]

loll

hopefully it helps we will see

[narrow igloo]

x2

[full fog]

U can still customize?

[full fog]

I also put this

[full fog]

And this

Watch me still get rejected

[placid skiff]

Oh im not sure about now

[full fog]

Oh alr I was just wondering

I wasn’t gonna change it

[narrow igloo]

@shell eagle do you know if the acceptance for the summer thing is actually any higher

lite says it is but also says only 900 kids applied last year which doesn’t sound right with 60k applicants

[shell eagle]

i have no clue

[wide snow]

4 days vro

[astral island]

vro

[empty light]

I’m so fried

[crisp citrus]

how bad is parking on campous

[crisp citrus]

to each their own

[shell eagle]

idk i dont park

[crisp citrus]

i looked and most of their campuses are wildly differneyl so even if it boosts my chacnes I dotn wanna do fysa

[crisp citrus]

walkable campus?

[shell eagle]

if you wanna walk 15 minutes sure

i do

[crisp citrus]

then what do you be

oh

biking?

[shell eagle]

its like 15 minutes across campus

[crisp citrus]

i do a good amnt of biking

[shell eagle]

yes biking scootering skateboarding

the scooter ppl WILL run you over tho

theres plenty of bike racks

[crisp citrus]

hold out your arm like a bar and they just fall over

thoughts

[shell eagle]

and now theres a dedicated bike lane

[crisp citrus]

oh thats nice

[shell eagle]

if a bus wont run me over then they're my next best bet

[crisp citrus]

so like driving isnt a necessity onc ampus at least

[shell eagle]

no

also i think it costs like a shit ton of money to even have a parking permit i might be wrong tho

[crisp citrus]

dam n

ion even drive

[shut heath]

do you need a car to go around atlant? - like stores and stuff

[shell eagle]

i take the bus even tho its shite

or i had the wonderful idea to walk 30 minutes back from target

my friend drives bc she has a car but my suitemate takes an uber sometimes

[crisp citrus]

why dont youd rive?

[shell eagle]

bc its a city and people are insane

and my parents need both cars

[empty light]

Are the drivers in Atlanta crazy

[prisma violet]

yeah

[crisp citrus]

you drive? walk? bike?

[night sable]

ts was my first draft of my commonapp essay

so fucking self loathing

[crisp citrus]

is that the move

[night sable]

but like btf it's like if you want t oshow any arc or development

[crisp citrus]

why is eveyrone trying to sound depressed

[narrow igloo]

Not if you want to go to Princeton

[crisp citrus]

spread love not hate

????

[night sable]

you have to find some way to portray that

with the most nonissues ever

[narrow igloo]

The problem with mine was the conclusion was a little forced and it didn’t show much outside of my weird hook

[crisp citrus]

it doesnt have to be an issue at first bro

😭

[narrow igloo]

Unfortunately that essay was still submitted to GT

[crisp citrus]

my personal was about enjoying the ltitle details of trails

[night sable]

ggs

[narrow igloo]

But my supp was good

[shell eagle]

i talked about my pet birds in my PS

[crisp citrus]

started with me jsut not noticing

[night sable]

nah you'll be fine

[narrow igloo]

Also be grateful to be here instead of CC

[crisp citrus]

i dunno how to even fram teh supp

mine didnt relaly have narrative

[night sable]

my supp was a lil caca

compared to my others tbh

[narrow igloo]

The college confidential kids are finding a new astro every day and realizing within hours that it means nothing

[crisp citrus]

it was jsut about why i liked mech e and why i liked gt

[night sable]

idk I should've spent some more time on it

[crisp citrus]

is gt ferst cetner or wtv good

if i student do i get discount to concerts

or free!!!!

[night sable]

omg I had to like change my gmail password

cuz my dad would see some email

from like gatech

and would say I'm getting in

and I almost got bullied into ED II'ing into John hopkins

cuz he got an email like 2 days after I submitted my RD app

saying to ED II and he thought it was like an indication I'd get in

[empty light]

Fire

[crisp citrus]

it might genuinely be wraps for me btw

[empty light]

How come

[crisp citrus]

the peopel applying to gt from my school have ALSO taken lin alg and multivaraible

genuine 100% maxed out rigor as well

theyre both my friends so im rooting for them but still

would be better if they didnt exist

😄

[astral island]

lmaoo

[crisp citrus]

still technically i have the upper leg but barely

they took lin alg and multi this year 1 sem each

i took lin alg and diff eq sohpomore and multi in junior

[empty light]

I’m here with calc bc

[crisp citrus]

yeah tbf our close college is really good for math

[empty light]

What in the hell that’s so tuff

[astral island]

wth isnt that way better

im in full year multi rn

[empty light]

I did have to learn a bit of lin alg for some of my projects but it was hella fun

[crisp citrus]

i fucking HATE linear algebra

the shit GENUINELY sucks

so much conceptual stuff

[empty light]

Our thing is multivar 1st sem and diffeq 2nd sem

[crisp citrus]

freshman year was 1 sem of calc ab, 1 sem of calc bc

then sophomore was 1 of diff eq, 1 of lin alg

and then junior was 1 multi, 1 logic and set theory

[empty light]

😭😭😭 I lowk have a love hate relationship with it

[empty light]

What the fuck bro

[crisp citrus]

i like math!

[empty light]

that’s insane 😭🙏

[crisp citrus]

until i hit lin alg

made me quit tyring to be a programmer

[empty light]

Cool stuff did you apply as a math major?

[crisp citrus]

i will be COMPLETELY content in life if i never have to deal with kernels or lt's ever again

[crisp citrus]

nah engineering

i also like physics and building shit

[empty light]

hell yeah ‼️

MechE?

I heard you mention it

[crisp citrus]

yes yes

[empty light]

That’s fire

[crisp citrus]

i built a solar abttery ebfore which was like all thermodynamics

tiny

tiny thing

but still fun

almost fried my hands while soldering

[empty light]

fun stuff fun stuff

[astral island]

cracked

[crisp citrus]

i didnt do tha tmuch in hs though lowk

no like

outside of that i kinda didnt do that many clubs

i think at least?

i did math leageu scioly and nhs

[empty light]

I made model rockets almost every year for my engineering club

[crisp citrus]

everythgin else was broing as shit so i just didnt do it

[empty light]

I burned my hand messing around with an igniter once, safe to say my club advisor WAS NOT HAPPY

[crisp citrus]

robotics was in an akward spot becuase the students kinda had a falling out with the mentors and the money dissapeared so i quit

💔

wouldve been fun but mentors kinda made it miserable

it was almsot as if they didnt want us to succeed

[empty light]

That sucks :(((

[crisp citrus]

I made an intake for our robot with rollers which worked like pretty well

[empty light]

Robotics is such a gamble ngl

[crisp citrus]

mentors scrapped my idea for a seperat eidea without testing and during the comp it blew up

🤷‍♂️ what can you do

[empty light]

Like either the team is fun or it’s horrid

Model rocketry is fun but my school lowk was hating on me and told me to stop doing it lmao 😭

Maybe messing around with an igniter is NOT smart

[crisp citrus]

our tema was w

everyone was very nice

and there was one lead who was really chill

I was close with him and I cosndiered asking him for a rec letter

but he passed away sadly

he moved away in my sohpomore year

to arizona or smth

[empty light]

that’s unfortunate, may he rest in peace

[crisp citrus]

yes

[empty light]

lowk im so excited to see the projects I work in in college

One of my friends in college sends me some of the stuff she’s working on and the fomo kills me

Currently being a bum rn tho, I need to work on my art stuff currently since I have to make a mural at my school

Also schools out here where I live due to snow

[crisp citrus]

it was -30 today and we still ahd school

[prisma violet]

[crisp citrus]

how muhc is parking pass

[empty light]

I live in Texas

😄

[prisma violet]

800

[crisp citrus]

DAMN

per year or 1 time peurchase

[narrow igloo]

i heard advanced math

[empty light]

YEESH

[prisma violet]

yearly

[narrow igloo]

full year multi last year and full year lin alg this year

it is easier than ap physics by a mile

[empty light]

Yall are actually so cracked hello 😭

[narrow igloo]

don’t worry my ecs suck

i am happy i took bc when i did because the class got harder

the exam remains a joke

[empty light]

My BC teacher over prepares us

He says he wants to prepare us for the worst

Which is fair

[empty light]

I lowkey brace myself when ppl say that cuz in my school ppl are always like “oh my ECs suck 🥺🥺” and it’s the most cracked ECs known to man

[narrow igloo]

no olympiads nonprofits or actual research

[flat hollow]

thats not the gold standard dude

you dont need to have all that shi

[narrow igloo]

true i just see a lot of r/collegeresults posts with it

[flat hollow]

dude

are we fucking serious

50% of that shit is fake

or way exaggerated

"6 figure business"

200.00

thats six figures

[empty light]

That’s fine dude, I mean lowkey whoever makes a nonprofit nowadays I like give the biggest side eye

I did “research” but again that was me begging the local uni to let me in and I had to apply

Even then they had to check my grades and stuff iirc

[flat hollow]

i sent out so many cold emails

lmaooo

and i didnt get shit

even went in person

[empty light]

LMAO me too, and then these two ppl that go to another school got into like BU rise or something and I’m there like

[flat hollow]

i did do research through connections at a summer program tho... so i guess that helped a lot

[empty light]

I had to straight up beg/apply 😭 it was so funny

My ECs aren’t amazing I just did what I could

[flat hollow]

same tbh they are like a normal person that did stuff outside high school

[empty light]

Many programs I was interested in required me to be a US citizen, I’m a permanent resident so I was automatically ineligible lmao

[flat hollow]

not some 5 intership, 3 research paper, summer program tech bro

[flat hollow]

ahhh that sucks man

[empty light]

Yeah it’s alr tho I did what I could

[flat hollow]

fo sure

[empty light]

I don’t have any older siblings who’ve been thru the college app process or anything nor do my parents know much since I’m an immigrant so I lowkey went into it blind

It was quite enlightening to say

[prisma violet]

literally me rn

[empty light]

lmao

[empty light]

ALSO LETS GO PURDUE BOUND 🔥

[flat hollow]

yuh

[empty light]

I’ll also probably be Purdue FYE depending on my results

[flat hollow]

yeah im waiting on 17 other schools

if i dont get any then ill go

[empty light]

I’ll probably know my school commitment by mid march tbh

[mystic leaf]

Ngl I think the only weak part of my app was the Why us part of the GT essay

But my Common App essay is really strong so hopefully that makes up for it

[ruby stone]

is it bad if i applied engineering and didn't take ap chem or bio

i took both physics c

[shut heath]

ig we will find out on friday😭

[mystic leaf]

What’s the deferral rate for Tech

[shell eagle]

DIFF EQ AS A SOPHOMORE?????

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

😭

bro these georgia kids who did gt enrollment are so funny because wdym you finished multi already and are doing diff eq as a first year, but you still havent done physics 1

[crisp citrus]

😀

[umbral hawk]

dang 3 days elft

[umbral hawk]

maybe 6-7%

[narrow igloo]

gt is at least half rejections

8% acceptance?

the rest is deferral, of which 20% get in usually

[rare viper]

Chat are we cooked oos cs

[vague sage]

oh my flip

[timber prism]

i got rejected from gt in my dream last night

that better not be foretelling

[shell eagle]

😭

[empty light]

Pls gt

[mystic leaf]

How much does a really good Common App essay help me?

[astral island]

How much does a really bad Common App essay hurt me?

[empty light]

decisions come out in 3 days

actually they probably have alr determined our decisions let’s be honest

[astral island]

ye

[mystic leaf]

Only a little bit, probably

Since it's not "very important."

My Common App essay was really good though so I am wondering how much it will help me

My GT essay was decent
Why Major part was good
Why us part could have been better

So in the essay cat

My Common App essay will carry

[astral island]

oh ok thanks i was just joking tho asking the opposite of urs

[mystic leaf]

If GT rejects or defers

I hope CMU and Rice come in clutch

[empty light]

lowkey nervous

and by lowkey I mean highkey

[austere marlin]

me too

idt ill make

i think evrryhting is good expect for my gpa

[lucid canopy]

if gt even defers me im buying everyone here yellow jackets too

[mystic leaf]

You will prolly be fine

I have seen many people with bad GPAs get into GT because of good essays

[austere marlin]

even out of state?

[mystic leaf]

I might be cooked because I have a high GPA

With like a 7/10 supplemental essay
Did not cook on the why major part

[austere marlin]

i think

my essay good

[mystic leaf]

A few yeah

[austere marlin]

lets hope

[empty light]

Lowk idk what classifies a good essay anymore

[austere marlin]

how do you get that rating

[mystic leaf]

How much detail did you go into in your Why Us part

I just mentioned a professor and a club and said GT is a place where I can satisfy my curiosity
Definitely not the best
In Common App and Why Major I went into extreme detail tho

[mystic leaf]

Estimated

[empty light]

I talked about some of the labs they have and clubs. Not the best supplemental essay imo

[austere marlin]

i made a clear goal i wanted to go for. like i said that I wanted to make the defense industy into a diff trajetory. And then I talk about the shit at Gtech that will helpo me get htere

[crisp citrus]

holy lockheed martin drone

[austere marlin]

[austere marlin]

youll be fine

[empty light]

I talked about the space sector a lot in my essay

[austere marlin]

oh yeah my friend who got in talked ab him going to mars

[empty light]

Talked a little bit about how I wanna create satellites and probes

[mystic leaf]

Can't be worse than mine 😭

[crisp citrus]

check mit thread

🥹

[empty light]

Watching the convo happen in real time

[mystic leaf]

You guys think if I have a strong Why major section and a strong Common App essay

They won't go as hard on my mid why us section

[empty light]

I talked about studying solar eclipses

[empty light]

Maybe? I’m not sure about GT I’ve heard so many unpredictable things

[mystic leaf]

They don't seem to put much emphasis on level of interest so I think I should be good

[narrow igloo]

my supp was goated my common app essay was slop

but I fixed it for RD’s

[mystic leaf]

Opposite for me

well, Good Common App essay and half good supp

[lucid canopy]

where did u see this

[flat hollow]

My common app essay can never hurt me but it also doesn’t help much

[mystic leaf]

What does it take for an essay to hurt you

[mystic leaf]

CDS

[shell eagle]

ts is literally what i said bro you're gonna be fine

i physically need friday to come so you guys get in and stop complaining and dooming 🥀

fym i was doing ts last year

so performative

and chopped

[flat hollow]

Red flags

I guess

Well it’s a net positive

I just picked a somewhat common topic

[mystic leaf]

For the part where it asked why you want to study at GT

I don't think I was specific enough
I mentioned a Professor(talking about how I liked his work) and mentioned how I want to be part of the ICPC team
But I could have explained more and talked about how I want to build a specific project with Tech's help
Which is what I wrote for the Ivies

So I guess it answers the question but it doesn't really do much else

[solar badger]

Is being a part of an ICPC extremely hard? Like do you need to qualify for it through competitive hackathons or do you just go and do it

[mystic leaf]

Im not sure

But I definitely want to compete in it
The problems are interesting

[solar badger]

yeah. isn't it just like usaco?

or maybe harder

[mystic leaf]

It's harder from the problems I have seen

https://worldfinals.icpc.global/problems/2025/finals/index.html

[timber prism]

its lowkey really close lol

its because hokies arent wearing the red jerseys

[flat hollow]

ah i lowk jsut talked about georgia tech football for 300 words

[full fog]

Instant accept right here

[zealous glen]

agreed

[prisma violet]

lfg

[flint nova]

Guess what I wasn’t specific for shi

Btw anyone who gets into gt and goes this is a sneak peek of 1st year dorm life

[serene sparrow]

no way LOL

[mystic leaf]

lmao

[mystic leaf]

Son im crine

Maybe external housing is the way

[flint nova]

I need to live off campus next semester because there’s a housing lottery where only select people get on campus housing and I lowkey lost

But 2nd year on campus housing is just on campus apartments not dorms with communal restrooms I think

1st year u need to live in a dorm iirc unless u apply for commute

Sadly off campus housing is a lot more pricey 🫩

but the rooms are obv better

[mystic leaf]

Bro wtf 😭

Yeah GT might have just dropped below UT

[flint nova]

I think most public schools do housing lotteries

Because they enroll lot of students

I’m not sure tho it what I’ve seen, gt does it fs and I think Berkeley does it too

[mystic leaf]

Do you have to live in Atlanta or can you live outside of it as well and then drive to GT

[flint nova]

U can drive if u want that’s on u

U don’t need to live in atl

[pine salmon]

Holy what tf r those ss

🤮

[flint nova]

This what happens when u go to a cs / engineering heavy school, kids don’t know how to shower or poo

First time showering 🥰

[pine salmon]

Holy

[ruby stone]

If I get deferred im sending in a box of yellow jackets to the admissions office 🥰

[terse nova]

aww so thoughtful

[shell eagle]

What the fuck 😭

We just had someone drag their leaking trash down the stairs so now the entire stairwell smells like vomit

So ig people also don’t know how tk throw away trash bc fym im the only one in my room who takes out the communal trash

[placid skiff]

😭

[placid skiff]

Sighs, does college not have hall duties

[shell eagle]

nope

and we just had one room inspection

[placid skiff]

Like once a month?

We have once a week

[shell eagle]

no just one total so far 💀

it happened last semester idk if another one will happen this semester

[placid skiff]

That’s cooked 💀

How often are bathrooms cleaned?

Depends on if it’s a suite or hall style right

[empty light]

I think I’m acc going insane, I had a dream where I got rejected by GT

I’m tweaking out for NO reason bro

[terse nova]

gtech cds dropped

[empty light]

For this year?

[median kernel]

For ea1 or 2

[empty light]

It’s for the 2025-2026 year

[shell eagle]

i have apartment style so we clean them ourselves, idk about hall style

[timber prism]

bro same 😭

2 days ago

[placid skiff]

how can those be used?

[narrow igloo]

i had a dream where i got accepted LOL

imagine its the opposite of what we dreamed

[cosmic scaffold]

i dont think its right, how do they already have enrolled numbers for oos/int

[buoyant vessel]

they have made their decisions already

they just havent released them

[cosmic scaffold]

i get that but how do they have numbers for Total first-time, first-year who enrolled

not admitted

for oos/int

[buoyant vessel]

hm

ur right

[cosmic scaffold]

im assuming they just took % from last year and applied it

as a guess

[buoyant vessel]

yea

[cosmic scaffold]

fuck im so done bro

int rate dropped to 7.33%

[buoyant vessel]

eh depends

a lot of the time int rate is lower bc the app process is different and its hard to tailor ur app

if u had strong essays you'll always have a chance

[mystic leaf]

What’s the int rate

[mystic leaf]

Hopefully my supplemental doesn’t cook me

[buoyant vessel]

he just said it bro

oh int is international

[buoyant vessel]

yeah its only one so idk

trying not to think about it only two dyas

days

[mystic leaf]

There’s also Common App essay though

[buoyant vessel]

ye

if i got gt i lowk wouldnt care if i didnt get any of my rds

except for like wharton

[mystic leaf]

If I don’t get GT I hope CMU pulls through

Character and personal qualities is the most important thing after academics

Anyone know what type of qualities they look for?

[empty light]

I'm not confident for GT lmao

[terse nova]

cmu is HELL on earth ik ppl who go there for cs and it is HELL

[terse nova]

personal qualities prolly comes thru ur essays and like impactful ecs

[clever crater]

cmu is my top choice, is it really that bad?

[terse nova]

I mean it’s like top of the top for cs

but by like social life it’s like 0

😢

[clever crater]

dang

[terse nova]

it’s in Pittsburgh which makes it a bit better

[clever crater]

lowk hate pittsburgh weather lmao

[mystic leaf]

Yeah I think my personal statement does that well

So I think I’m good in that front

[mystic leaf]

Damn

The course load is that hard?

[clever crater]

i've heard that's toxic ash "their heart is in the work"

[terse nova]

it’s prolly the hardest cs curriculum in the country

but if ur admitted they believe you can do it

[solar badger]

About 96% had perfect 4.0s

[median kernel]

is this unweighted

[solar badger]

Yes

It doesn’t go above 4

[median kernel]

yeah but: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/179n09z/why_do_so_many_georgiatech_admits_have_40s/

people are saying "Don't trust what you see on the common data sets - there is no fixed criteria of it being an unweighted, weighted, or recalculated GPA."

[median kernel]

ik but it does not mention the word "unweighted"

[solar badger]

Ur most likely right. Then they say that the average gpa is 4.17. It might be weighted

[cosmic scaffold]

i dobut that 96% of students have 4.0 gpa's unweighted

[narrow igloo]

just got a qualtrics email?

might be because i was looking around in the gt account

[split thicket]

r u in college confidential forum

[empty light]

Whats that

[serene sparrow]

i mean if you're going off of tech's recalculated gpa it does go over 4.0

when i got in they listed my gpa as 4.16 (still lower than actual weighted GPA but besides teh point)

[regal basin]

what was ur course rigor and uw?

[serene sparrow]

course rigor?

i took like 3 aps and 10-11 DE classes (i was doing dual at GT at the time)

uw 4.0

[regal basin]

oh ok

so they might do like aps +1 and honors like 0.5?? idk

[serene sparrow]

nah doubt it for honors

most of my hs courses were honors but they didnt increase my gpa for gt admissions purposes

[regal basin]

oh i’m cooked then

[serene sparrow]

nah youll be fine fr
