<p>Sr0912,</p>
<p>You got your letter today? I am still waiting.... no mails or emails. I am a little shocked that tomdawg1991 is deferred. His status is way better than mine. I hope I am not deferred.... still waiting on Christmas day even though the mail is not coming :)</p>
<p>If you submitted you application by Oct. 31 and have not received an email notifying you that you were deferred then you are in.</p>
<p>I will wait till I get the mail before I tell my parents, just to be safe.</p>

I got deferred from Tech. Is this a bad thing? Do a lot of people get deferred?

<p>Schools accept students in "waves". All this means is you weren't accepted in the first wave. My guess is less than half of the freshman class has been chosen already.</p>
<p>gthopeful, i read a stat that said ~30% have been chosen, which is less than 1/2. SO UR RIGHT! :D</p>
<p>tomdawg, you're in. don't sweat. i'm surprised they didn't grab you already.</p>
<p>Accepted!!!! Mail arrived today.</p>
<p>Accepted today.</p>
<p>Bah. I submitted my app before the 31st, but my SAT score order was only processed the 31st. Obviously the scores take some time to get to GT, so I don't know if they considered my app "completed" before Oct 31st.
My app status changed to Completed last Tuesday and I haven't received a defer email, so maybe it means I got accepted. Postal service being silly, I suppose =P</p>
<p>What was I worrying about? I just got the "You're a Yellow Jacket!" packet today. Relief!!!</p>
<p>I wanna be one so badly. Chance me at my newest gt thread</p>
<p>hey can you guys help me out?</p>
<p>People are receiving invitations to the honors program? I received something that told me I had to indicate I was interested in it online. When do people find out about the honors program, it would be a plus for Georgia Tech if I was invited.</p>
<p>I was accepted last week, not a PSP semifinalist tho. Stats are the following:</p>
<p>Class rank: 1/444 (Valedictorian)
GPA: UW: 4.0, not sure of the weighted on GTech scale
Classes: All IB (4 higher level--Math, Chem, English, History--, 3 standard level--Physics, Spanish, Anthropology) and AP. Hardest courseload possible.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: Varsity Swimming, Club Swimming, FIRST Robotics, NHS, Paintball
Leadership: Lead Programmer for FIRST Robotics, Swim Captain</p>
<p>I just found out that I was accepted (applied Nov 1 deadline). It didn’t tell me about the PS yet, so idk.</p>
<p>Stats:
Out of state (NJ)
SAT1: 1500 (M770 R730)
GPA: 94.9454

SATM2: 760, Physics 800
AP Physics B: 5
AP US History: 5
AP Computer Science A: 4
National Honors Society</p>
<p>I haven’t heard anything yet, but I was wondering if the BuzzPort page meant anything. It says stuff like “Get to know your new classmates by joining the Georgia Tech Class of 2014 Facebook Group!”, making it seem like I was accepted, but maybe that page is shown to everyone. Would anyone happen to know?</p>
<p>Oh, never mind. After a little of digging around, I finally found a page that did say I was accepted.</p>
<p>How is Georgia Tech’s weighted GPA over 4.0? Cuz I thought they used the HOPE scholarship GPA…</p>
<p>^ Nice bump. And GT (at least they did this until this coming cycle) gave +.5 points for AP classes, that’s how people got GPAs over 4.0</p>
