Idk abt previous waitlists but this there is an option to add a 500 word loci

prisma violet

Ok so I’m not wrong lol

runic root

Additional information is probably new ECs and what not not a traditional “LOCI” like “please let me in please”

runic root
#

"Statement of continued interest" = Letter of continued interest

#

I thought once i submitted all my applications I wouldnt have to continue writing

Now I gotta write so many LOCis for a 0.5% chance

bro my application must be divisive among admissions officers or smth - this is my 3rd waitlist in 2 days 😭

Wait guys

#

Do u get priority

#

For commiting early

#

And paying deposit

#

For housing

limpid copper
#

what does the "and lab" part mean?

prisma violet
#

actualyl wait sorry

prisma violet
#

so like chem 1 + lab

limpid copper
#

what does that mean tho

#

like

#

what class fulfills lab

prisma violet
#

a lab class idk

limpid copper
#

does taking AP Chem fulfill the requirement?

prisma violet
#

no

#

it might fulfil your chem1 requirement at your school but unless that class specifically includes the lab then it does not also fulfill the lab requirement

limpid copper
prisma violet
#

does the class include a lab

#

that might be the case a lot of intro science classes are like 4 credit hours that are lab/lecture baked in instead of having standalone lab and lectures

limpid copper
prisma violet
#

this isnt high school anymore sadly

#

your AP Chem class could include a field trip to CERN and you would probably only get credit for chem 1

limpid copper
prisma violet
#

that would yeah

#

but thats a GT class

limpid copper
#

huh?

#

but this is on their website

prisma violet
#

yeah but what you sent is the transfer course requirements

#

for if you want to transfer in

#

unless the class at your institution transfers as bios1107l

limpid copper
#

but ap bio also transfers as bios1107l and it says that transfer students can use ap scores for transfer credit

prisma violet
#

yeah it does true

#

im actually not sure how that works ngl

#

like if you know you get 1107l at tech so you dont take a lab class before you transfer and hope that 1107l is covered by your ap class

#

id ask

misty oriole
#

no it does not

#

housing time tickets are distributed randomly among students who pay the housing fee in time

prisma violet
#

Ok I was right the first time

#

I remember when it wasn’t like that and it did depend on when u got ur deposit on

misty oriole
#

yeah not anymore thankfully

dark verge
#

does that play a role?

limpid copper
#

almost 100% sure now

#

well if u read the stuff throughly you'll find that it's true

dark verge
#

Should I transfer?

#

I can’t afford it but I’m not sure if transfers have it at a cheaper price to attend

woeful heath
dark verge
#

no way

#

I had a 4.2 gpa

#

compared to my peers with like 4.6

woeful heath
#

and?

dark verge
#

well considering its very important to them surprises me

woeful heath
#

4.2 is a great gpa

dark verge
#

Yeaa

woeful heath

congrats btw!

#

I think GT is really, really holistic

thank you! congrats to you to

whats your major?

CS

#

its weird tho cus I have like 40+ credits from college

#

so idk if I have to take some classes for cs or like one from a university

woeful heath
#

will GT take all of em?

#

40 is a lot

dark verge
#

that i'm not sure of

woeful heath
#

like 1/3 for graduation right

dark verge
#

uhhh im not sure

woeful heath
#

and mate with 40 credits on your back it just strenghtens even more your gpa

#

rlly impressive

I heard someone mentioning it somewhere and wanted to check if I missed anything

Hmm im debating something. Should I consider taking Georgia techs transfer offer. I would be a sophomore at my in-state school since I have a year and a half worth of credits but I'm not sure if I want to graduate gt in two years (if I get in). I'm trying to go to graduate school and aim for the stars so I'm not sure if its worth it or not since it would give me less time to make my resume stand out.

worth it imo

if cost is prohibitive

Halloooo

balmy bronze
#

is transfering from uiuc to gatech as a cs major possible

#

after first year

vague coyote
balmy bronze
#

cuz

#

lots of reason

#

uiuc kinda cold

#

also expensive

#

also kinda remote

#

id feel very lonely at remote areas

misty oriole
#

UIUC looks like a college town whereas GT is in atlanta

#

i will say if you make an effort to go outside and make friends on campus you won't be lonely

misty oriole
balmy bronze
#

i am inter

balmy bronze
#

and 55k for gatech

#

uiuc is kinda overload for us

misty oriole
#

damn uiuc expensive 💀

#

i think it's worth emailing their aid office and asking

#

but yeah that's not great

#

i would say you can try to transfer to GT but nothing is promised

balmy bronze
#

i see

vague coyote
#

Its worth a shot to transfer but georgia tech cs is notoriously competitive
They dont even let other majors at gtech transfer into cs in 2nd year

#

Plus its not like living in a big city like Atlanta is gonna protect you from getting lonely

#

But yeah GTech is a lot cheaper so you should def try

balmy bronze
#

i hearrd many people from UGA successfuly transferred there

#

buit thats for Georgia

vague coyote
#

Kids at UGA are in state

#

Gtech loves instate a lot

balmy bronze
#

even ints but

#

georgia yk

vague coyote
#

Its worth a shot to transfer fs

#

But if youre planning to join uiuc this fall then wait and see what its like before immediately thinking abt transferring out of there

misty oriole
#

Never call it GTech

#

Gatech or tech is fine

misty oriole
vague coyote

GT

#

you can transfer to GT from cc

if not then transfer is almost impossible

yo guys

#

did anyone start registering for housing

prisma violet
#

Seeing it called gtech is genuinely sickening

misty oriole
#

Btw what dorm you get isn't based on when you register or commit as long as it's by the deadline

#

If you have further questions there is a GT30 students server you can ask them in, I can dm the link if you want

woeful heath

btw, DyDestroyer, how to not register for Smith?

Idrc whether I go to East or West, but please not Smith

misty oriole
#

For those of you who applied to EE/CmpE

#

It looks like they have cut the number of out of state seats in ECE in HALF, so the acceptance rates for out of state ECE were around 4.5%

#

GT was around as selective as MIT for that group of students

golden isle
#

11.9% for math 🙏

#

288 other applicants fit my exact demographics/major lmao

misty oriole
#

Once again this is the most selective year in GT history

#

9% out of state, 24.8% in state, 11.8% overall

prisma violet
sharp shell
#

like compared to not submitting anything at all

#

vs doing the form?

Compared to either really

prisma violet
woeful heath
#

Thought EE and CmpE was growing

misty oriole

because this school has too many ee and cmpe

oversaturated, it's impossible to get classes

if the data is correct and they did cut it in half, i'm happy for the change

7300 acceptances in 2017-18 and 8700 and the acceptance rate is half what it was that year lol

How hard are the classes at tech

#

Assuming I am a biz/humanity major

prisma violet
#

honestly bro

#

if ur not an engineering major theyre not insanely hard

#

the hardest classes are definetly the stem classes

#

arent u goin to UGA i think u should j spend a year there cuz if u wanna work in some fields UGA is a better place to be than tech IMO

misty oriole
lavish glen
prisma violet
#

Yeah lol

#

Most ppl taker after freshman year

#

Some ppl come during the spring of their sophomore year

#

The only hard rule is you need more than 30 hours at your first school and you need to do the last 36 hours at Tech

lavish glen
prisma violet
#

Idk tbh

#

Gonna be honest tho if ur not doing a stem major tech lowkey isn’t super worth it

#

Esp if u wanna do pubp id stick to uga they have great public policy and journalism schools way better than tech

# prisma violet whats wrong with ksu

There is nothing wrong with ksu but like if you go to ksu and want to transfer, and you don’t get that transfer you would be bummed out about it cause ksu is not really a good college but like uga is still good so even if you don’t transfer it’s not that big of a deal

signal gate

I thought it wasnt first come first serve

but since people already got their decisions im a bit worried

You know what imma just email GT about it

hey can i ask current gt students if yall feel like it's competitive/cut-throat there?

#

like r students all actively competing against eachother

#

or r ppl more dandy and friendly and open

shell eagle
# cedar dagger or r ppl more dandy and friendly and open

in my experience its a mix of both
i'm aeroeng and i havent felt much competition so far (but i also wasnt applying to lots of internships so it'll probably be worse next year). but at least when i talk with other people we're not talking about internships/careers/ecs as much as i thought we would
my cs suitemate however is very competitive and going to as much career and ec events as possible because its cs and theyre international 💀

cursive dragon

and like are there some dorms that i shouldnt consider

aero specifically uhh i feel like there's a lot of opportunities in terms of clubs and networking/career events but i havent had the time to go to many

cursive dragon
#

also i am going to intl, and like most of the jobs i have hard are in defense that requires at least gc or most require citizenship, is it true? like do intl ae engineers have problem finding jobs and stuff

shell eagle
#

and imma be honest i don't really know many intl ae people all of the ones i've met are from the us

cursive dragon
#

well i have been living in us for 2 years but i still dont want to like wait for my gc or citizenship

shell eagle
#

idk if all intl ae engineers have a problem getting a job though i just dont know what the career path would look like

cursive dragon
#

might just change my major

shell eagle
#

i see

cedar dagger
#

srry if im asking tm lol 😭 i js dont think i thrive in environments like berkeley where ppl try to compete w eachother

#

ik for some it motivates them to work harder but idt thats for me lol

shell eagle
#

everyone in my intro aero class is hella chill

#

yeah competitive envrionemnts stress me out too, its definitely competitive sometimes here but for the most part i dont think its all that bad

lavish glen
#

I wonder if it’s the same competitive in the communication and literature major

lavish glen

I need this 😭😭😭

i wouldn't say so, my story is actually interesting 😭 i applied for the early deadline and got deferred and then got rejected
but only because they had extra space they invited more people they originally rejected (including me so thats how i eventually got in)

#

that was just luck

it's been almost 2 hours i gen can't think of anything to write

What are your goals with an LMC major

lavish glen
# prisma violet Elaborate

I want to work in Atlanta and other major news outlets. I feel like the location for tech gives me a major advantage

#

I don’t know if this is true

prisma violet
#

UGA has a far far far better nationally renowned journalism program with exposure to not only Atlanta based news but also like

#

Everyone else

lavish glen
#

What are your thoughts on the location

#

Is it safe

prisma violet
signal gate
#

i been to both and i personally like gts campus more

#

but athens is a stress free locations theres lots of grass and sun

lavish glen
#

Atlanta is giving nyc to me lol. I feel like Atlanta has a lot of good restaurants and night out places

cursive dragon

It doss but Athens is far safer I feel

lavish glen

Like cost of living wise (not including rents

Go weird places, meet weird ppl

Have people already been taken off the waitlist?

Same with UC Berkeley

vague coyote
sudden ivy
#

Idk

prisma violet
#

what a productive conversation

#

you most likely will not hear a waitlist decision till after may 1

#

which is the enrollment deadline

#

anything before that honestly is just noise

terse nova
#

nah bro

#

a person in this server

#

legitimately got off the gt waitlist

#

like 3 days ago

sudden ivy
#

Why couldn't that have been me

prisma violet
#

where did u see that

sudden ivy
cursive dragon
#

yeah i know multiple people who got off waitlist but its probably cause they under admitted

#

chill till may

old obsidian
#

Yo what do i write for additional info if i lowkey did nothing😹

#

I didnt submit it yet is that bad or no

#

I got time right

#

The waitlist i mean

prisma violet
#

Most likely unless you went to the moon or cure cancer the odds of it affecting a decision is basically 0

buoyant vessel
#

a lot of accepted ppl committed elsewhere already most llkely

cursive dragon
#

Rest in state

misty oriole
cursive dragon
#

Are admits based on major?

#

I am not sure yet

#

Cause I have seen aero and chem e

misty oriole
#

the major you apply to GT with has some outcome on your admissions

cursive dragon
#

Okay makes sense

#

Yeah

misty oriole
#

they admitted half as many ECE majors total this year

#

which i know sounds awful for anyone who applied

#

but i am a current ECE student and our resources are running out

#

classes are full, registration is so bad they're sending apology emails, etc

cursive dragon
#

Yeah I think they dropped their in state number too

misty oriole
#

it's a good change

cursive dragon
#

I thought Georgia tech would have those type of resources

misty oriole
#

well they do

#

but we are literally out

cursive dragon
#

Yeah

misty oriole
#

GT is trying to serve as many students as possible, that's the goal

#

but when every single classroom and dorm is full, you can't do more

cursive dragon
#

That’s true hopefully it’s not bad for aero next year 😭

misty oriole
#

aero got money for a new building

cursive dragon
#

Yeah they received around 15 mil

#

I think

misty oriole
sudden ivy
#

Im OOS ECE 😭 Fawk me

misty oriole
#

Why are you applying ECE?

#

Just curious

sudden ivy
#

Cuz I like it idk

#

😭

misty oriole
#

I'm assuming you applied or will be applying cmpe

sudden ivy
#

Whats cmpe

misty oriole
#

Computer engineering

sudden ivy
#

O no

#

I just wanted like a traditional engineering major

#

and Mechanical seems kinda dead so

misty oriole
#

Mechanical is lowkey exploding

#

What kind of job do you wanna do later in life?

#

Engineering is vast

sudden ivy
#

Ur asking the wrong person

misty oriole
#

I would do some thinking abt that before applying

prisma violet
#

Ngl if u don’t know id do meche not EE

sudden ivy
#

😭

prisma violet
#

Or

#

Do MSE

sudden ivy
#

I don't really like doing anything

prisma violet
#

Who does tbh

sudden ivy
#

So i just picked EE and went with it

#

Doubt i'll regret it

#

@misty oriole Would u say the chance of getting in ECE OOS this yr from waitlist is impossible

prisma violet
#

The most traditional engineering is meche there will always be demand for those even if th world ends we need ppl who can actually build stuff

prisma violet
misty oriole

Getting off waitlist is already like a sub 5% chance

What do you actually enjoy doing?

why are you even going to college then?

Don’t say cuz my parents said I have to

sudden ivy
prisma violet

Ok what do u actually enjoy

#

Like

#

Doing stuff

#

In terms of doing stuff what do you enjoy doing

sudden ivy
#

I don't mind scrolling

prisma violet
#

Ok other than that

misty oriole
#

Or what did you enjoy before 4 years of competitive high school sucked every last ounce of passion out of you

sudden ivy
#

😭 bro i'm not supposed to have my life figured out

prisma violet
#

Like do you do things for fun

#

Ok this isn’t that tho like I had hobbies in high school not a career plan

#

Lmfao

sudden ivy
#

I like money

sudden ivy
#

Imma just do what gets me money

prisma violet
#

Where else did u apply

misty oriole
sudden ivy
#

A bunch of places

misty oriole
#

Those who are pursuing money tend to not do well

#

Would explain the lack of passion and probably some serious burnout

sudden ivy
#

Ppl who pursue money usually get more money

misty oriole
#

I'm guessing you spent most of HS just grinding for college apps?

#

Pursue your happiness and joy in life

sudden ivy
#

Ohh lowk i like sports

misty oriole
#

It'll do you better then money

prisma violet
#

Most ppl who pursue money blow up spectacularly for every 1 success there’s 10000 failures

prisma violet
#

Do u think everyone that does things purely for monetary gain succeeds

#

Because if so man you are in for one insanely rude awakening

sudden ivy
#

U gotta do it smartly

#

this is besides the point anyways

#

Im just trying to see my chance of getting off the waitlist

prisma violet
#

Honestly bro it’s insanely low lmfao

#

Have you committed anywhere else

sudden ivy
#

Yea

#

but it's a hellhole

#

So

prisma violet
#

Where

sudden ivy
#

Waterloo

#

in Canada

misty oriole
#

The school that sucks the soul out of engineering majors

wanton basin

If you’ve committed you’ll be good if u do get off the waitlist but id do my due diligence to actually try and figure out what you like before studying EE

yep

#

Engineering at Waterloo

sudden ivy
#

R u guys srs 😭

wanton basin
#

gotta do a before and after

I’ve heard nothing but horrific things about Waterloo Engineering

sudden ivy

it cannot be THAT bad

#

They tell campfire stories about it like it’s slenderman

sudden ivy
#

U need a filter

prisma violet
#

Book a flight to Turkey by 2030 you’ll need it

sudden ivy
#

i NEED it

prisma violet
#

GT isn’t any better fwiw

#

EE anywhere will be hard

misty oriole
#

This school is by no means easy

sudden ivy
#

Yea but at least at gt I can transfer majors

misty oriole
#

But at least we suffer together

prisma violet
#

If u wana do traditional engineering I’d do MechE tho

sudden ivy
#

Waterloo u can't

EE majors smell bad
