<p>sooo I was told that they don’t Deny people admission for EA and PSP applications like they only defer to Regular decision</p>
<p>was I misled? D:</p>
<p>i heard they accepted 85% of the people who apply early (by oct 1 and nov 1)
what’s your situation noob?</p>
<p>well
uhh it just says Denied Admission</p>
<p>i pretty much knew I wasn’t going to get in because my GPA is so bad but i wouldn’t mind to have been defferred
:(</p>
<p>ambaturkey11: that’s way high. Last year, it was ~70% got in eventually. This year should be less, with applications numbers going up.</p>
<p>:( i’m sorry noob
but i look at it like this
not every successful person goes to gatech, mit, or stanford
heck they reject people with “great” stats
where ever you go, you’ll be fine 
GPB: i know that’s high but that’s what I heard. but it is going to go down, especially with alot of out of state students applying</p>

Best school i’ve gotten into so far…</p>
<p>I saw the georgia tech sample application form. Nowhere, it is mentioned about the size of the essay</p>
<p>Can anyone point me to the place where the length of the essay is mentioned as 500 words or whatever within the application form?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>If I remember correctly it is on the actual application. Its not a big deal if you go a little over 500 words, mine was like 550. Isn’t it a little late to be sending in the application?</p>
