Being on Georgia Tech's Transfer Wait List

<p>Well… we will all finally hear back from Tech within the next three days. Best of luck to all, and post any updates on here.</p>

<p>Yep…best luck to us all. Btw, atlBrandon, what major did you apply for?</p>

<p>computer engineering</p>

<p>Oh i see…well best luck to you bro.</p>

<p>No update yet and I guess we find out by tomorrow for sure? :CrossFingers:</p>

<p>I called GT’s admissions office and they said tomorrow our Buzzports will be updated and we will receive an email. So tomorrow is the day =/</p>

<p>They didn’t happen to say around what time, did they? All my uga fees are also due tomorrow. The extra late fees I would be charged aren’t horrendous, but it would be nice to be able to make the normal deadline.</p>

<p>Thanks atlBrandon for the info…gosh, i feel weird inside…so worried. I’m sure everyone has this same feeling…Everyday I get on the computer, the first thing i do is check Buzzport and here first. It’s crazy! But still, best luck to everybody, i sure wish they would just accept everybody that has been on the waitlist.</p>

<p>Btw, atlBrandon, did they happen to ask you for any info? like your buzzport ID when you called? or anything related to you? I’m just curious.</p>

<p>Current Application Status: Class Full- Wait List Closed
:’(</p>

<p>really? Gosh atlBrandon, that sucks…my friends did say there were alot of Computer E. and Mechanical E. at the first Orientation (FASET). Mines still the same as usual. I will still wish the best luck to you man.</p>

<p>Yeah it does suck, oh well I’m guaranteed transfer for the spring because I’m in the Engineering Alliance program at Armstrong.
Try clicking
Home -> Registration (OSCAR) -> Admissions -> Application Status
(that gives you a more updated version)</p>

<p>crap…mines says what yours said…but could it be that waitlist is finally close and they will update tomorrow? man…it is insane :(</p>

<p>Honestly, I dont see why it would update everybody’s app this late, you agreeing with me?
Nobody works at this time…But then again, its my first time checking it that way, have you been checking that way ever since day 1?</p>

<p>Plus, we would have received an email too right? Imo, i think they are just closing the waitlist so that they wont add anymore. I mean, they told me that they are still putting students on the waitlist before today. It could be the reason. And then they pick from there? Theres no way they are deciding this late at night though…</p>

<p>Yeah I check it an unhealthy amount of times. When I first found out I was wait-listed the application status updated at like 11 pm on a Thursday night, then my Buzzport updated on Friday. I think they put the application information in today and then the servers update over night. However, that is true it doesn’t say rejected… but I think that I am just setting myself up for disappointment looking at it that way.</p>

<p>Me too man, lets all hope thats not what we think it is.</p>

<p>I honestly don’t know what to do, should I even wait it out and apply for Spring semester…? Are there better chances for the Spring Semester at Tech? Ahhhh im going crazy man…</p>

<p>hey guys…I’ve been following this thread for a while.</p>

<p>I’m applying with 55 credit hours from SPSU to transfer to Tech.
My GPA is 3.3, and I was put on the wait list.
This morning I checked my application status, and it had been updated to “Class full - wait list closed.” Same as you guys. Spring semester should be less competitive for sure. Especially if you can do the GRETP program - [GT</a> Catalog : COE : Regents Engineering Transfer Program](<a href=“http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/specialacademic/retp.php]GT”>http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/specialacademic/retp.php)</p>

<p>I hate to believe it but it is true…I wonder did anybody on the waitlist even got accepted.</p>

<p>So what are your plans gr1mace? I totally lost right now…should I spend a few more semesters to do RETP at a whole new school, which is SPSU? I am already accepted to SPSU for fall.</p>

<p>or should i wait it out for spring semester and re-apply? Ahhhhh somebody help.</p>

<p>I’m taking more core classes for the fall semester (Diff EQ, Calc III, Statistics, Lit.) since they all transfer to Tech. And hopefully I can try again in the spring. That’s all assuming I didn’t get into tech for this semester though. I have my fingers crossed still…I would think they’d send out an official letter or email either way instead of leaving us hanging.</p>

<p>There is basically a letter on the application though. I emailed one of the admission ppl to ask them some questions and advices. Cause Idk if I should wait it out and re-apply again. Cause if my chances are low, then ill just have to move on now.</p>

<p>i’ve taken everything that I can already as far as core classes. I might re-take Physics 1 since I got a C in lecture. But I don’t know if its worth it.</p>

<p>If I can get in the Spring, it is all worth it…than trying to do RETP and waste more and more hours/money.</p>

<p>And what was your major you applied as gr1mace?</p>

<p>I applied for Electrical Engineering. Let me know what they say when they get back to you…I didn’t see the letter you were talking about on the application.</p>
