It had never been pointed out to me before

#

But one of the big ECE clubs has several hundred members

#

99.99% of them are guys

prisma violet
#

Not shocking

misty oriole
#

There are like 3 girls total

prisma violet
#

Which club

#

Siliconjackets?

#

Is SJ just chip design or do u guys do fab as well

misty oriole
#

#

Fab is done by a sponsor

prisma violet

GT

sudden ivy
#

For money

misty oriole

GT job placement is the best

vague coyote

#

It would make sense if theyre instate

shell eagle
#

realest thing ive ever read

signal gate
#

yes

#

in state ones

wise island
#

what r yall writing the waitlist update form

signal gate
#

my friend got off today

#

for neuro in state

sudden ivy
#

Bruh

#

Do they just do in state first

#

or are OOS screwed

sudden ivy
signal gate
#

oos have better odds

#

idk what the hell is going on this year

#

they never release this earluy

signal gate
#

also in state

#

anyone but me bro 📿

sudden ivy
signal gate
#

are you IE?

sudden ivy
#

no

#

I'm OOS as well

sudden ivy
signal gate
#

since if ur instate and accepted to gatech

#

its very cheap

#

because of the hope and zell miller scholarships

#

but the thing is there are a lot lot more OOS kids than in state

#

who got waitlsited

sudden ivy
#

True

#

So we really don't know anything

signal gate
#

this year was extremely weird

#

because as far as i know waitlist only started to move past may 1 in previous years

#

the earliest WL offer this year was late march

sudden ivy
#

Yea really weird

signal gate
#

honestly i think they will finish up in state offers before may 1 lmao

#

you know i wish Gtech stopped straight up lying

#

they literally dodged my question on if submitting the WL form late was a disadvantage

misty oriole
#

gtech 💀

#

guys i submitted my wl form tonight im getting in tomorrow trust

#

nah i prob wont hear anything if i hear anything at all until may

#

but one can dream

prisma violet
#

mfs be calling it gtech wondering why they aint get in

timber prism
#

nah calling the admissions office is crazy desperate 😭

#

true dedicated people book flights to atlanta and go in person /j

shell eagle
#

u gotta cry at the adm officers feet trust

timber prism
#

or bribery

#

theyre not gonna risk their job over an 18 yr old man crying

#

but 20 bucks?

#

GT

#

timber prism
#

wait im slow he said "calling it gtech" not calling gtech

lavish glen
#

Rate the names

timber prism
#

i cant read thats why i didnt get in

misty oriole
#

gatech and Gatech are ok, GaTech is not, GT is good, tech is fine

lavish glen
#

Like do we call caltech CIT?

misty oriole
prisma violet
#

Tech is fine in state

#

But like tech in Virginia and Texas aren’t gonna be Georgia tech

terse nova
misty oriole
#

just don't 💀

lavish glen
#

Everyone change their name to gtech’30

#

NOW

#

Or u will be execute

#

it makes sense that theyre already taking in state ppl off the waitlist

#

Cuz their decision came out 2-3 weeks before oos

#

But it is a lilll weird that theyre doing it before May 1 🙏

signal gate
#

they never did this before

vague coyote
# signal gate no it doesnt

I think they have a fixed number of seats for in state and chances are they underaccepted and those seats went empty anw

signal gate
#

kind of the opposite

#

specifically for in state

misty oriole
#

GT has a ratio between in state, OOS, and intl students they are required by law to keep

#

60:30:10

signal gate
#

they just admitting ppl off the wl for fun then

vague coyote
vague coyote
cursive dragon
#

i mean they accepted a intl living in state

#

so i believe they are just accepting the ones who accepted the waitlist form first

#

like obv they are gonna be other conditions but those in the 27th march round i believe gotta wait

signal gate
#

both are cooked

#

in state never gonna decline because of zell miller and hope

#

and oos theres just way to many

signal gate
#

it really is first come first serve

cursive dragon
#

nah fr

cursive dragon
signal gate
#

SOME in staters are doomed to be on the waitlist till may 1

Like what’s the statute for this

Yall need to get off Reddit and other BS college admissions forums lmfao

Maybe if we were a super elite private school we’d under accept but this is a public school

#

My friend joined 9am that day and got in

cursive dragon
#

the fuck

scenic ocean
#

The waitlist

#

You had to do a supplemental

cursive dragon
#

yeah thats insane

scenic ocean
#

The decision came at 7pm

#

People who joined first got in

cursive dragon
#

yeah ik that but getting accepted like within 24 hours is crazy

scenic ocean
#

No not accepted

#

He joined waitlist

#

Then got in like yesterday

#

From email

cursive dragon
#

ohhh yeah yeah makes sense

signal gate
#

bro did he even have anything to update

#

i feel like the loci is useless

cursive dragon
#

my friend didnt even fill out the loci and got in lmfao

signal gate
#

yeah man

#

this college just a goof fest atp

cursive dragon
#

true

#

most colleges tbf

#

did nayone got off for purdue?

#

i havent opened that thread after 30th may

serene sparrow
prisma violet
#

but like

#

required by who lol

#

i dont think theres a georgia law or USG mandate

gusty narwhal
#

realistically am i getting off the waitlist for international and compE

#

my dad wants me to wait until may before i commit

timber prism
#

the deadline for most schools is may 1st

#

i wouldnt gamble on getting off the waitlist

shell eagle
#

ece/compe cooked for enrollment anyways

timber prism
#

and if you get off the waitlist at gatech it'll be a fun surprise

gusty narwhal
#

i don't wanna miss out on housing stuff and roommates by waiting till the last minute

misty oriole
#

You won't dw

#

Housing and stuff isn't until June

#

If you get off the waitlist insanely late GT will figure out housing for you

prisma violet
#

Yea you won’t

#

If ur waitlisted you need to act like it’s a rejection unless you get taken off it

#

Accept your offer at your other top school

whole monolith
#

guys do yall know if theres anything else like some sort of update form you would have to fill out for the talent pathways program

Anyone got off waitlist

#

Recently

short marten
#

i dont think it's gonna be more than 2-3% this year

#

i wouldnt really look at last year speaking to people who worked at GT it was more so a lot of people being unable to afford the tuition given the economic climate last year which is why a lot of people opted to not go

#

i think c/o 2024 would be a better indicator and id also bet that they admitted less international students this year that past years

signal gate
scenic ocean
#

I joined late next day

short marten
#

i think they already had numbers in mind

#

the years where they took a lot off a lot were notified after may 1st

#

like i think 5% at most tbh

#

last year was just an anomaly 2024 is more accurate

If I want to work in clean energy, what do you think is the best dicipline of engineering? I'm in envir right now but I'm thinking about elec or mech

shell eagle
#

are you in the gt '30 server? someone can probably answer your question better there

scenic ocean
#

@signal gate gt just don’t like us

prisma violet
#

like development, application, implementation, manufacturing

#

realistically you can do any major and be in but you might need a grad degree to really make a huge impact

tawdry juniper

tbh u can do a lot of majors then

nuclear engineering if youre into that

so i submitted wl stuff but i had my sci oly state comp like 2 days ago would it hurt me if i emailed them saying i placed in my events?

i was hoping i could milk it for wl info but if not ig its fine

#

low expectations for wl being ece 😭

misty oriole
#

yeah i'm gonna be totally honest, ECE is insane rn

#

GT accepted half as many ECE students because we're running out of campus resources for ECE

#

acceptance rate OOS is like 4%

safe trail
#

yeah after i saw the acceptance rates i knew i was cooked

#

it is what it is atp

misty oriole
#

i know it sucks for ya'll who didn't get in

#

GT is preserving resources for current students because ECE is getting overloaded

lavish glen
#

GIT I love you

#

Please let me in for transfer

#

I am the biggest GIT fan

#

Although I am at uga, my heart is at GIT

ur not getting in if you call it git 😭

if u call it git one more time im gonna make sure the admissions office blacklists you

MIT is special

sudden ivy

#

no

sudden ivy
#

That means theres still alot of space!

misty oriole
#

they admitted half as many not because they didn't get enough applicants

misty oriole
#

they cut the space in half

#

they admitted 750 ECE last year and it's down to around 400 this year

sudden ivy
#

Stats?

lavish glen
#

What do ppl call Georgia tech at Georgia tech

#

gt?

shell eagle
#

gt or gatech

#

but gt usually

lavish glen
#

Do they call it Georgia tech school or tech school of Georgia?

#

I feel like we have so many names lmao

misty oriole
#

Georgia Tech, Georgia Institute of Technology, GT, Tech, and Gatech are acceptable

#

North Avenue Trade School is also acceptable for the OGs

prisma violet
#

like when referring to it out loud mfs just say tech

#

sometimes they add georgia

#

but like 90% of times ppl j call it "tech"

#

I see

#

Is it rolling

vague coyote
#

I still dont get how they could start moving the waitlist before commitment day

prisma violet
#

U can commit or decline before commitment day so

#

There’s still ppl accepting and more importantly declining their offers way before May 1st

signal gate
sudden ivy
prisma violet
#

There might have been just u don’t know about it lol

#

Odds are intl or OOS WL movement is so little mfs aren’t on discord broadcasting it

out of curiosity, is there a reason why gtech is a nono way to write georgia tech?

lavish glen

Yes

GTech or GIT

#

Wait would they announce wl decisions if I didn’t get off waitlist?

prisma violet
#

no

#

they only tell u if u get accepted off the waitlist if you dont hear anything you didnt get it

#

in

vague coyote
sudden ivy
#

I have a feeling this yr not a single intl will get off the waitlist

#

And that we had some early waitlist movement because that's all the movement that'll happen

signal gate
signal gate
#

thats like mid july tho

#

or even late

sudden ivy
#

so movement has already started

sudden ivy
vague coyote

#

my friend

signal gate
#

rest has been for in state only

sudden ivy

i suppose

#

not a lot tho

vague coyote

#

aerospace

prisma violet
#

But honestly I doubt it

#

You’ll get an email when the waitlist is closed but I’m guessing that’ll be like mid June to late July

#

But tbh if you got waitlisted I was just consider it a rejection unless you do get accepted off it

vague coyote
#

:( Sad but true

scenic ocean
#

Bro it’s over ngl @signal gate

scenic ocean
cursive dragon
#

i dont think they would have time to review oos and intl students rn

#

cause even for intl living in state they got their decisions with in state kids

#

so i wouldnt worry

#

almost everyone i know who got off is in state

sudden ivy
#

I feel like the reason y ppl are getting off this early is because not many people will be getting off at all

#

And they're just gonna do everything at the start and yk wrap it up

cursive dragon
#

i wouldnt hope so but could be true

prisma violet
#

i mean not many ppl get off regardless lol

True

his big thing was institute expansion

I believe

timber prism
#

i could have gotten in

signal gate
#

well the school probably didnt have as much prestige back then

timber prism
#

but lowk i probably couldnt score as well as i did on this sat on the old sat

now i can name multiple people in my school who've scored above 1500

#

Anyone receive a jmhp decision yet

misty oriole

Someone I know did earlier

#

I'd just be patient they are rolling

#

Also honors program only useful for housing anyways tbh

sudden ivy
#

Can someone email GT when intl waitlist movement will begin

prisma violet
#

why dont you

#

but also

#

they're gonna say "we don't know, just keep an eye out"

cursive dragon
signal gate
#

also i dont think the waitlist moves specifically like that

wanton basin
#

Unless they actually do end up accepting you

#

There’s not much of a point in worrying about it

signal gate
#

i dont expect to get in

#

all i care about is some sort of transfer pathway like conditional

#

which you can get off the waitlist apparently??

misty oriole
#

assume the waitlist is a rejection unless told otherwise

#

that includes transfer pathways

#

there is literally nothing you can do at this point to get in

#

no amount of emails to admissions will increase your chances of getting a pathway or a waitlist spot

sudden ivy

It's just extra dopamine

Genuinely who is gatech accepting 😭 they rejected a 1570 sat ISEF finalist

#

How tf they gon accept us peasants then

#

its ok bro i got in and i have never touched an international competition or science fair or anything at all 🙏

#

didnt even have a big summer program to my name either

#

(i have no clue how i got accepted)

cursive dragon
#

Gatech cares a lot abt gpa so focus on that and ofc ec

#

I know low 1400s who have gotten in with mid ec

misty oriole
#

nah

#

give me a bit i'll list what i did

#
  • boy scouts (eagle scout)
  • band (4yrs, leadership)
  • governor's school (GHP equivalent for ya'll in staters)
signal gate
#

i mean your grades/rigor/rank were almost certainly great

#

even if your ECs werent outstanding its likely ur essays that pushed you

misty oriole
#

4.00 UW, ranked 3rd when i applied, highest rigor of any student

signal gate
#

yeah...

misty oriole
#

but i will say this, one thing like isef won't win you a spot

#

gotta have a strong application in all areas

signal gate
#

yes well kids who have isef tend to be strong everywhere else

serene sparrow
misty oriole
#

as a reminder gt has to keep 60% of their students in state

#

GT is a state school after all

scenic ocean
#

They give conditional to people with gpa under 4 and low sat

#

But if they have legacy or apply the right major

prisma violet
#

but not by law

woeful heath

stop worrying about these things

#

admissions arent linear

GT is kinda bs

They waitlisted me and so many others from my school

I would have prolly gone

Under a 4??

which corresponds to roughly a 3.5-3.6 unweighted

#

hopes should not be high

tawdry juniper
#

Does anyone here know if anyone from oos has gotten off the waitlist

#

A lot of my friends are asking

hot ravine
#

Not yet

#

Wait till may

misty oriole
#

treat the waitlist like a flat out rejection

#

commit to some other school and fully invest in it

#

if you invest yourself in the waitlist you will more than likely be disappointed

#

wait guys what's the deal w east vs west campus? and r they far away? can someone help explain or smth plss tq 😭

#

and what is freshman hill?

#

ig it's about time i start learning tech lingo LOL

cedar dagger
#

also lunar new year is kinda a big deal for my family and i'm thinking abt flying home during that period (for like a week or so); does anyone have experience with this?

shell eagle
# cedar dagger and what is freshman hill?

freshman hill is this really steep hill on east campus; ive heard of people living on east campus that need to walk up that hill to get to class but honestly you might just go around

west and east are probably like a 5-10 minutes walk to their closest class building but to like student center or tech green its around 15 minutes (generally you'll walk 10-15 minutes to get to class)

as for other differences its just that west is quieter/has more green space and east is more of the party side of campus and its closer to the city if you want to go visit

also do yall know where i can get cute merch? 😔

i thought the school colors were gold and white

why is all the merch navy ;-;

shell eagle

its all three
uhh i got my merch when i visited in april of last year before committing, there might be something online

wait also what is "north avenue trade school" lol

is it js a funny name for tech

is there any other lingo i should know?

golden isle

/lh tech is a great school

#

Are you happy with the pick?

cedar dagger
# golden isle Are you happy with the pick?

i mean i really didnt mind either school. personally i liked purdue's vibes better, but my parents preferred that i stay in a city (plus tech seems a bit more prestigious to them) so they wanted me to commit to tech lol

#

but yeah im prt happy regardless! i knew they were both great schools so idt there was really a "wrong" choice here

prisma violet
#

Yeah

cedar dagger
#

hii i'm so confused here, which meal plan would yall recommend i get?

image.png
#

thanks in advanceee

misty oriole
#

unless you plan on eating at a dining hall for 3 meals a day every day

#

flex has more dining dollars you can spend at on campus locations and very few people use all 200 flex swipes

cedar dagger
#

wait 200 is for 1 semester, right?

misty oriole
#

yes

#

extra dining dollars roll over from fall to spring btw

cedar dagger
#

ah ic tqsm!!

misty oriole
#

with ~15 weeks of school, you'd need to use 2ish swipes per day every day to run out of swipes

cedar dagger
#

should i put money in my buzzcard funds? how is this different from dining dollars?

misty oriole
#

buzzcard funds can be spent at more locations, but i believe dining dollars are tax free

#

i would recommend sticking to dining dollars or meal swipes for as many food purchases as you can

cedar dagger
#

is it easy to replenish later? should i leave it blank for now or whats a reasonable amount

misty oriole
#

you can deposit funds at any time according to the buzzcard website

#

i have never once used buzzfunds

#

only meal swipes & dining dollars

Why else would they send that if you said no on the thing

Should be a good signal since only some recieved it

I also said interested and they sent me back an email already saying I’m admitted and want me to pay the deposit

#

And they’re trying to setup a family phone call to discuss

sudden ivy
#

Wat

#

U said interested or not interested

glad moth
#

So seems like it’s a program they couldn’t fill or something and now trying to get people who are desperate to enroll

#

I said not interested on the waitlist form

Was this the same thing as fysa?

The people I asked who didn’t get it were intl so it might be that

#

wtf is global pathways program

prisma violet
#

Global pathways makes it sound like ur gonna be in London or something for a semester before coming to Atlanta

#

How is it diff from FYSA

glad moth
#

no im on gatech waitlist

#

oh wait u mean like tech student in general?

prisma violet
#

No like if u accept this program thing

#

Yea

#

Not rn lol

scenic ocean
#

I didn’t get that I’m waitlisted

wanton basin
#

But it just came up in my email

sudden ivy
scenic ocean
#

In state

sudden ivy
wheat pecan
#

maybe it only got sent to oos ppl

floral sparrow
#

im oos and got it too, seems like its just a cash grab lowk

#

any idea when there might be some movement on the waitlist for oos?

sudden ivy
#

Into GT Next yr

floral sparrow
#

guaranteed if you meet the requirements

#

i dont trust that this random third party has a say over your admission

#

seems far from guaranteed

sudden ivy
#

i guess

#

This has to be a good sign for waitlist acceptance tho

floral sparrow
#

id do it but i dont want to lose my other opportunities/scholarships

sudden ivy
#

If only some ppl got it

floral sparrow
#

im waitlisted for meche and aero

#

am i fucked

#

1470 sat and cracked ecs

#

oos

sudden ivy
#

Idt waitlist is based on ur stats icl

#

It's more so class shaping no?

#

Like ur major + demographics, or smth idk

floral sparrow
#

apparently

#

yeah

#

they say they dont admit by major

sudden ivy
#

Hmm i doubt that

wheat pecan
#

wait how much does georgia tech care about locis

floral sparrow
#

they dont read them

#

only what you put on the waitlist form

wheat pecan
#

oh ok

#

how much do they care about the form 💀

prisma violet
#

they dont

#

the odds of it affecting your app are closer to 0 than 1

sudden ivy
prisma violet
#

no like

#

between 0% and 1%

#

lol

sudden ivy
prisma violet
#

i asked the admissions office

#

well

#

i asked this girl who i used to get with who worked in the admissions office

#

they dont consider the waitlist statement as any sort of LOCI so they dont rlly care if you talk about how much you love tech or that youre gonna attend if you get in

#

so if you submit something like "yeah kept doing this club and did well in class" theyll be like ok cool

#

basically everyone submits one so

sudden ivy
#

So it's lottery?

prisma violet
#

Somewhat

misty oriole
misty oriole
#

Idk where people keep hearing it

#

But it's so obviously false

#

GT has a quota for each major and they are admitting to get close ish to that quota

lavish glen
#

I had a friend who got into LMC major with a 1300 sat and 3.75 uw gpa

prisma violet
#

Gt admits by major but they also give u a free major change first year so

#

A few have some restrictions but other than those it’s pretty free

#

Granted three of those are IE CS and ME but still

flat hollow
#

Except Cs

prisma violet
#

Basically yeah

misty oriole
#

I personally think that'll change for ECE soon

#

But we'll see

buoyant vessel
prisma violet
wheat pecan
#

has anyone called admissions or anything abt the global pathways program

grand lion
#

im oos cs applicant and they said I'd begin as a cs major at GT in the summer of 2027 as long as I meet the gpa requirement (3.5?) while abroad so it's different than other pathways where you can still be rejected for CS

safe trail
#

did everyone get the global pathways thing

#

?

wheat pecan
#

thank god u still get ur major

wheat pecan
scenic ocean
#

When did all of you accept a spot in waitlist

wheat pecan
#

like april i think

wheat pecan
scenic ocean
#

Only oos got it?

wheat pecan
#

i think so

grand lion
wheat pecan
#

yeah

#

is anything supposed to happen after u fill out the interest form

prisma violet
#

define anything

#

like

#

an emial

#

or

wheat pecan
#

yeah

prisma violet
#

nah u dont get anything unless u get in

wheat pecan
#

oh ic

#

wait so the first email they sent was just like for interest but they have to accept u again?

prisma violet
#

wym

wheat pecan
#

like I got the email everyone else got and I went to the website and filled out the interest form and it said they'd possibly call in a few days but thats it

prisma violet
#

i assume so yeah

wheat pecan
#

oh okay

#

thank you

grand lion
#

This whole thing is so weird though and no one seems to fully understand what's going on lmao

wheat pecan
#

oh huh

#

Im just confused cuz on reddit it seemed like some ppl automatically got in

dim pier
#

hello i got the global pathway thing

#

i am wondering if its worth it, cuz at GT id do CS and at CMU id do stats + machine learning

#

ill prolly wait until waitlist decisions come out

wanton basin
#

I don’t feel comfortable depending on this random third party

#

Also having to go to two different countries

#

Just doesn’t seem like something I would want feel like doing

dim pier
#

true

grand lion
dim pier
safe trail
#

Friend in states

#

in state?

#

or no

#

I heard sum in state people didn’t get

dim pier
#

we're both from NJ

he is my classmate

wanton basin
safe trail
#

ok

flat hollow
#

its fire

buoyant vessel
#

any idea of when waitlist movement might be

signal gate
#

next week to the following 2 weeks

tawdry juniper
#

Any tech students here, is it realistic at all to do 3 minors and a major or even double major at gtech

#

I know it's a difficult school + I'll have an intership on the backend that I have set up rn for 15 hours virtual and a 5 hour inperson lab weekly, so just wondering about if the timings will leave me fried

misty oriole
#

Unless you are god himself

#

20hr a week internship + double major won't just leave you fried

#

That may literally kill you

#

20hr a week plus just your major will be a LOT

#

Plus you want time for clubs, friends, etc

#

If you wanna double major you'd be spending prob 6+ years here

#

Take a low amount of credit hours

tawdry juniper
#

How many credit hours do you recommended per semester? i know you usually ramp up during some years too but people say no more then 16

misty oriole
#

It depends on the courses you're taking

#

17 kicked my ass this semester and I'm not spending 20hrs a week interning

#

If you wanna keep up the 20hrs a week I would try to aim for 12-14

prisma violet
#

just do a semester there

#

here

#

and figure it out

#

everyone comes in here tryna do 3 minors an internship and a double major this that the other and most ppl learn in their first sem that all ts is impossible

#

just spend ur freshman year figuring out how much you can chew and then you can work it out

prisma violet
shell eagle
#

the only person i know doing a double major is doing it in ae + phys but its because she did gt de and has a looot of credit

cedar dagger
#

is it actually true that the average time to graduate from tech undergrad is 5 yrs? cursedmoon

#

or is this mostly bc of co-ops n stuff

wheat pecan
#

how difficult is scheduling at gt? like is it difficult to get the classes u need

tiny pulsar
#

did any international get off the waitlist yet?

#

all my hope is on the waitlist T-T

wanton basin
#

I would forget about it entirely until you actually get the email that you were accepted off of it

tiny pulsar
#

and do you have any idea abt caltech waitlist movements

shell eagle
wanton basin
#

Of May

shell eagle
# wheat pecan how difficult is scheduling at gt? like is it difficult to get the classes u nee...

faset and phase 1 registration are the times you barely get any classes you want unless you have lots of transfer credit and get an earlier time slot for registration (this has nothing to do with faset, this is after you're a full time student. if you do faset late then only would you have problems registering).
BUT phase 2 registration (which will happen the week before classes start in august) will let you hopefully get the classes you need, most people get their schedules fixed in phase 2

whole monolith
#

idk the diff tho

misty oriole
#

Also there is a GT2030 server if yall wanna ask a wider range of people these questions

flat hollow
prisma violet
prisma violet
#

I know multiple people who could’ve graduated in 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 years but wanted to graduate in May so they took a semester on co-op to delay their graduation effectively

prisma violet
tiny pulsar
#

but caltech acceptance rate was 24% out of waitlist

#

last year

#

(0 the year before tho lol)

prisma violet
#

exactly

#

0 to 24%

#

that variability means the data is not very precise

safe trail
#

cuz global one is like this

IMG_4920.png
#

I heard from a friend who was wl at Vanderbilt he got the same thing but for vandy

wanton basin
wanton basin
safe trail
#

Ohh

#

Ok

wheat pecan
#

but like im also waitlisted and got the email thing

wheat pecan
#

wait lowkey im prolly not allowed on there

misty oriole
#

If you get off the waitlist that's great

#

Otherwise just commit fully to the other school

wheat pecan
#

yeah im committed somewhere else rn i was just wondering incase

#

honestly might do the year abroad

signal gate
#

is it the first year they did this

safe trail
#

it’s like a transfer pathway into gt

signal gate
#

did only oos get the global thingy

safe trail
#

I think

#

idk

signal gate
#

seems legit why not do it

safe trail
#

idk if it’s expensive idk if it’s gonna be worth

wanton basin
signal gate
#

Going to london and spain both is cool asf

signal gate
wanton basin
#

Going to two different countries

#

For two different semester

#

I’m not that desperate tbh

#

So

signal gate
#

kinda doesnt make sense giving that to oos students when they are less likely to accept it lmao

signal gate
#

so it wont be that more expensive

wanton basin
safe trail
#

I think they are tryna offload gen ed courses

signal gate
safe trail
#

cuz they overflowing rn

signal gate
#

so whats different about this

#

than fysa

#

FYSA is one semestr

#

but this seems to be two

#

other than that are there no differences

safe trail
#

fysa is through gt

#

this is verto-> gt

signal gate
#

whats verto exactly

wanton basin
#

Apparently Vanderbilt WL kids also got this as well

signal gate
#

so would you even be studying ur major there

#

or is it something else

wanton basin
#

Essentially you have to have 30 credits in total, then you can transfer to GT for your major after you have completed those

#

Lowkey when I saw the email

#

I got excited for a second

#

Thinking they let me off the wait list😭

prisma violet
#

Hmm

#

Idk if I’d accept that pathway if my ultimate goal was tech ngl..

#

Like FYSA sure but this is thru some third party

signal gate
#

better than nothing

wanton basin
#

yeah but I’m most likely not taking it lol

signal gate
#

I would be happy considering not many get off the waitlist in any shape or form

wanton basin
#

I would have considered it if was only one semester abroad

signal gate
prisma violet
#

mehhhh

#

i mean uga to tech transfer rates r rlly good esp if u keep ur grades up

#

what major r u

#

but being in europe for a year is def cool

#

it will be harder to adapt to the more traditional college experience when u get to tech tho

signal gate
prisma violet
#

hm

#

its def harder to transfer engineering majors

#

but

#

not impossible

signal gate
#

what about repp

prisma violet
#

Idt UGA is a repp school

#

But like

#

If u think the global program is better then idt it’s a bad choice

whole monolith
safe trail
#

is this just a normal transfer pathway

#

like 1 year other place, get credits then go transfer to gt

#

even if its not its still super cool

#

has anyone here who was ofered the global pathway thing confirmed interest?

#

if so did you get any additional info from them

prisma violet
safe trail
#

keb you basically got into gt

#

the global pathway is not worth i think

#

i was looking at course list and its all stuff that i assume a majority of us have already taken

#

precalc, calc 1+2, chem, bio, env, physics, stat is also there but it cut out of ss

#

no advanced courses are available

grand lion
#

Yeah multi seems to be the only advanced class but I was told that they might add more

whole monolith
whole monolith
#

so whats the diff between talent pathways and global pathways

#

arent they all just guaranteed admisions assuming u meet all credits

#

and gpa req

safe trail
#

yeah but talent pathways lets you go to any college you want for your first year

whole monolith
#

oh

safe trail
#

i think the reason global pathways isn’t worth is cuz all my credits from ap exams are essentially useless if they don’t offer more advanced courses

whole monolith
#

i only took like 5 APs

#

and 2 DEs

safe trail
#

a decent chunk

#

I did up to Calc 3, all physics courses, ap chem, stat

whole monolith
#

damn

#

what major did u apply?

safe trail
#

comp e

whole monolith
#

oh

#

i applied aero

safe trail
#

oh nice

whole monolith
#

i only did up to Calc 2, Physics (Algebra), stats, comp sci a

#

and some other courses

safe trail
#

Yeah thats also a good amount

whole monolith
#

dont u got other schools

#

u committing to

safe trail
#

I have my state school

#

I committed to

#

I got uiuc but it was so expensive it wasn’t worth it

whole monolith
#

oh i see

whole monolith
#

i mean i committed purdue but its still expensive

#

so hopefully waitlist changes that

safe trail
#

yeah hopefully

#

If I get off any of my wls it’ll be a dream come true

whole monolith
safe trail
#

columbia and gt

#

I have low hopes for both

#

I’d honestly be fine doing my undergrad at my state school then doing masters elsewhere

whole monolith
#

i see

#

i got rice, unc chapel hill, cornell, and umich

safe trail
#

for wl?

whole monolith
#

yea

safe trail
#

wl warrior 😭 😭

whole monolith
#

yup

#

id gladly withdraw from purdue if any of them offers me a place first

#

they all give better aid than purdue

safe trail
#

is umich not super expensive

whole monolith
safe trail
#

oh ok

whole monolith
#

id have to pay like idk 20-30k a yr

#

there

#

if i get in

safe trail
#

wait that’s so good

whole monolith
#

for purdue its at 47k rn after grants

whole monolith
safe trail
#

😭

whole monolith
#

rice is like everything except for 2.5k

#

which i can cover with federal work study

safe trail
#

that’s amazing

whole monolith
#

but rice like the hardest to get off the waitlist for

safe trail
#

dang

whole monolith
#

cause it ranges from 0 to 200

#

every year

safe trail
#

😭 😭

whole monolith
#

and theres like 2.8k average on waitlist

safe trail
#

I hope you get off somewhere

#

50k kinda outrageous

whole monolith
#

yeah

#

its like 53k with UIUC

#

🙂

#

so yea

signal gate
#

lmao im in the same spot as yall

#

i committed to my state school but got into purdue

#

and on gt waitlist

scenic ocean
#

Same

tiny pulsar
#

bro i really need to get off the gt waitlist

#

it wayyyyy cheaper

#

im gonna be saving 180k just going to gt over duke

grand lion
whole monolith
#

oh i see

signal gate
#

Since theres literally no UGA thread

#

imma ask this here

#

How difficult is getting a 4.0 in UGA engineering

astral island
shell eagle
#

are you guys going to swap places

dim pier
#

ride fly GT for neon duke

prisma violet
#

ur first year at UGA is prob gonna be gen eds anyways

#

not like "real" engineering courses

astral island
lavish glen
#

Uga is hella nice to ap credits

prisma violet
#

True

primal raven
#

Did GT waitlist start moving?

signal gate
#

so the toughest classes next semester ill be taking are diff eq and phys 2

#

yall have any idea how difficult those two classes are

prisma violet
#

eh

#

def on the tougher side lol

#

physics 2 is pretty tough regardless of where u take it

#

diff eq can be pretty straightforward if u have a solid grasp of calc 1-3

misty oriole
#

Diffeq is memorization

prisma violet
#

tbh

#

all math is the same

#

u j gotta spam practice problems

golden isle
#

Truth

signal gate
#

i do NOT want to get anything less than an A in that class

#

esp since im trynna transfer to gt

prisma violet
#

of course

#

lmfao

#

but it is a smart move to get the hard classes out of the way early

signal gate
#

once i finish diff eq what do i even do mathwise

#

pretty sure i only need upto diff eq right

stone current
#

when does waitlist come out?

prisma violet
#

There’s also a stats class tho

#

Usually

#

Or a numerical methods one

prisma violet
#

No we don’t know when it’ll come out for you

#

No we don’t know the acceptance rate

#

No you won’t get an email if you don’t get off

stone current
prisma violet
#

nope

stone current
signal gate
prisma violet
#

nah

#

theyre usually major locked

#

like most engineering majors either have their own stats/numerical methods class or they make u take the mech e one
