Early Notification or Early Action?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am a GATech 2015 hopeful, but I'm slightly confused about its Early programs</p>

<p>It says on the Admission Deadline page that it is an "Early Action" in the table
However, with a brief search on the site, a page came out with "Early Notification" as the name.</p>

<p>I am worried if I could apply to GATech early, as I am going to apply to an SCEA program as well.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Georgia Tech’s Early Notification is not binding, so I would assume you can apply to both. Tech does not have an early action or early decision program.</p>

<p>The only other ‘early’ it mentioned was early admission, which refers to a program where some juniors skip senior year and go straight to college.</p>

<p>What you want to do is apply early notification, which is not binding.</p>

<p>Alright, thanks for clarifying!!</p>

<p>Hi,
Does the early notification help with admissions decisions? Or is it just for the applicant’s peace of mind or something? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Have anyone here started on his/her tech application yet? I couldn’t seem to start mine, even after I created an account. Perhaps I should wait like two or more business days.</p>

<p>Yea I started mine, but it was like a year ago, but GT has to update the app because mine was updated 2 days ago to fit the one for this year. Good luck to everyone applying!</p>

<p><em>UPDATE</em></p>

<p>I asked this question on the official forum, and the admission officer states that the Early Action program offered in Georgia Tech is NOT compatible with SCEA programs.</p>

<p>So… yeah. I hope this’ll be of some help to some of you.</p>

<p>The reason it isn’t compatible with SCEA programs has nothing to do with Tech, but with the SCEA school. </p>

<p>Let’s say you apply to Harvard SCEA and GT Early Notification. That would be a violation of Harvard’s SCEA agreement (to apply Harvard SCEA, you agree to not apply anywhere else until the Harvard decision is made). It would not matter to GT.</p>
