General Comments:I'm happy I got in. Second choice, applied to 10 schools. Applied ED to Brown, decision comes out December 11th at 5. If I get rejected, I'm gonna be a YELLOW JACKET!!</p>
<p>if you applied before the oct. 31st deadline, and still haven't received any notifications yet, does that mean you've been deferred? :(</p>
<p>for psp you're out; admission, yes.</p>
<p>I don't think that is accurate. In a post this morning on the GT message board (Georgia</a> Institute of Technology :: Undergraduate Admission :: Message Boards), a GT admissions counselor implied that decisions for PSP were still being made. He said in response to a question about "december notifications" that one could still get admitted as a PSP semifinalist, or admitted w/o PSP, or deferred.</p>
<p>thats awesome, congrats...i hope i get in</p>

General Comments: If I get the President's Scholarship, I'll go, otherwise, I'll probably go to UT-Austin.</p>
<p>i haven't been accepted yet, but my twin has been as a psp semifinalist. we have very similar stats, so i think this is because she applied to the college of liberal arts with a major in economics, while i applied to the college of management, which i guess was a bad choice that i didn't think through very well. we both have very good stats that make us shoo-ins for ga tech, but i'm a little frustrated at not receiving my acceptance letter. ga tech's only my backup school, but i need the psp if i don't get into my top schools. is it harder to get into the college of management? are psp semifinalists still being chosen? did i really mess up my chances?</p>
<p>major is irrelevant, as about 1/3 of gt students change major.</p>
<p>semifinalists still being chosen.</p>
<p>thanks for the information.</p>
<p>my application status says "application complete" -- does this mean they've reached a decision?</p>
<p>i also got an email from the president president's scholarship program inviting me to a ga tech game where i can be matched up with a current president scholar who will give a tour. does this mean anything about my semifinalist standing?</p>
<p>sigh, i feel really clueless.</p>
<p>diggingforfire, I believe you're a PSP semi-finalist! My D received an email invitation to a campus event from the PSP and a few days later received her acceptance packet with the semi-finalist notification. Also, I believe when your status changes to Application Complete that sets everything in motion. PSP issues invitations and packets are mailed, etc. Congrats in advance!</p>
<p>yes, thank you, SMHSMom! i just received my packet today. my worries were really unwarranted.</p>
<p>congrats to your daughter! and everyone else who got in. and good luck for those still waiting for their letters!</p>
<p>you guys want to chance me for GT, i have another threat under GT, btw congrats your lucky</p>
<p>if my admission is still "in process" does that mean I'm "differed"? </p>
<p>I sent the application before the 31st of oct</p>
<p>I applied to GA Tech for Pres Scholarship before Oct 31st and they sent me an email saying that they will send me my decision by Mid-December. I am yet to hear anything from GA Tech about my admissions decision. Does this mean I was denied, cuz a lot of people were already accepted who applied for the Pres Scholarship...</p>
<p>How did you guys hear about your decisions? Was it an email or a letter?</p>
<p>vreddy, final decisions were mailed out Monday, and no one is going to be denied this go-around, only deferred. as for PSP, I'm not sure if people are still getting those, I applied knowing I wasn't gonna get that. Also, I posted this in another discussion about how acceptances will be recieved.</p>
<p>"I didn't get one in the mail today, and I live in the greater ATL area. Sometime this week probably though.</p>
<p>However, a few different sources told me different things about decisions:</p>
<p>-From GT: Admits will be notified via Mail, Deferrals via e-mail
-A friend of mine who "knows a guy" at GT: Everything will be via Mail</p>
<p>[both of these say decisions should be received this week.]</p>
<p>-A friend of mine who allegedly knows the registar at GT: via Mail, but to be expected around Jan. 1st"</p>
<p>I got deferred from Tech. Is this a bad thing? Do a lot of people get deferred? Cause I though I had a Good Application</p>
