Class of 2017 RD Discussion Thread

<p>Here we go… best of luck, guys!</p>

<p>Good luck everyone! Post your decisions and stats!</p>

<p>Hey guys, sorry I just got in. What exactly are you talking about when you say “3 tabs” and 4 tabs? thanks</p>

<p>Hey, I just came across this thread.
I am an EA deferred applicant.
All the Best to everyone :)</p>

<p>yytan12 - When you get to your Buzzport page, click “click here something something application status”, and there should be a couple of tabs (Personal info, Student Financial Aid something, Campus Services, and Admission). Some people are missing Campus Services. But the more I think about it, the more it feels like that’s just a coincidence.</p>

<p>Bah, the fact that they don’t have an exact time where the results come out makes this wait so anticlimatic!</p>

<p>Just got the email. Accepted!</p>

<p>Got accepted!</p>

<p>Still nothing… So nerve wracking ;_______;</p>

<p>Unfortunately rejected for good luck to those who are accepted!</p>

<p>Wonder if it’s by last name? Filoleg and SanityLin - what letter does your last name start with?</p>

<p>@Filoleg - Was the letter in your G Tech email or personal email.</p>

<p>I got accepted, too!</p>

<p>waitlisted :/</p>

<p>Waitlisted.</p>

<p>Oh well, better than being rejected. I probably wont take a spot though.</p>

<p>ACCEPTED! :slight_smile: Congrats to everyone!</p>

<p>@ SlumyB Did you have the pay now option?</p>

<p>My son just got accepted but the e-mail says it’s for the late short summer session. Does anyone know if that’s a provisional admittance? He applied for a fall start. The e-mail says every year about 250 students start in the summer. I don’t know if he has to do the summer session to be admitted or can still start in the fall.</p>

<p>I got rejected. GATech was supposed to be a safety, so that’s a bit disheartening, but oh well. Good luck and congrats to everyone else!</p>

<p>Here are my stats if anyone’s interested:
-US Citizen attending an international school
-2130 SATI
-800s in SATII Math, Physics and Chinese
-Top 10th percentile of class
-IB Diploma with HL Physics, Computer Science and English and SL Math, Psychology and Chinese
-Took three AP tests for practice: Psychology(5), Chinese(5), Computer Science(4)

  • Took two 4 unit college courses at Berkeley for the summer
    -ECs: Team captain of Shanghai’s junior air pistol and rapid fire team for two years (on the team for 6 years), MUN, Debate
    -Volunteer/Charity Work: Did a fundraiser where we sold sunglasses to raise money to fund surgeries for senior citizens within Shanghai (managed to raise enought money to fund 100 surgeries)
    -Work experience: Worked at a local child care place for a summer</p>

<p>I think the reason why I didn’t get in was because I thought I was a domestic applicant due to my nationality and realized very close to the deadline that I had to submit my application according to the international deadline. Thus, my essays were terrible as I basically smushed a bunch of draft essays together, which was a bad idea.</p>

<p>Personal email. And my last name starts with F</p>
