<p>So, I applied to GaTech for Fall of 2013 around a month ago, but I had not had access to Buzzport due to forgetting my hinted login (I applied for Fall 2011 and got rejected, so the password expired). I got the password reset today, but all my documents were sent to GaTech a while ago. It says my file is under review, but buzzport seems odd.</p>
<p>I have the registration and student services tab available on my home screen and all the buttons go to their respective webpages. For example, I can access the bursar system to pay for the deposits for Fall 2013 or click order transcript (to then be told I have no classes available). It seems odd that either of these options could appear on a transfer applicant's screen, so I think it is a good sign. I wouldn't be obsessing over this, but, when I was getting my password reset, the guy from OIT told me "welcome to Georgia Tech", which led me on this hunt to figure out if I was admitted or not.</p>
<p>So, is this a sign I was admitted or just a horrible programming mistake?</p>
<p>Sorry, that doesn’t mean anything… Everyone can see all those tabs. I applied for admissions for Spring 2013 and could see all those things, but I got denied. I am applying again for Fall 2013, so hopefully this time around I will get in. </p>
<p>What major are you applying for and what is your GPA? I only have a 3.4 and I am trying to get into Mechanical Engineering which is one of the more competitive majors to get into. As long as you have around a 3.7 and all the required courses you should get in though!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t read too much into that stuff. It’s a clunky website, you’re not accepted until you’re accepted. The admissions people don’t decided “hey, let’s admit this person but not tell them, and in the meantime let’s enable some random extra buttons on their Buzzport.” Just log in and look at the admissions part, don’t drive yourself crazy with everything else.</p>
<p>@aooc0012 When you go to setup->other in buzzport, is Welcome Transfer Student an option for you? I clicked it and the congratulations message from the president popped up. I’m applying for Computer Science, so I think the process is probably different. I have a 3.4 at my current school (Virginia Tech) too, but my inmajor GPA is higher.</p>
<p>I’m sort of over it already, but that is either a horrible programming error or (its possible) that they are waiting till the first notification date to officially tell me and they already changed what group my profile belongs to. I read a bit about how their channel system works in help, and it seems channels like that are directed at a per group level. Unless someone else who obviously hasn’t been admitted (just applied and what not) has that channel as available, it could be an early indicator. It also shows accepted freshman and what not as an available channel to me, so it might apply to freshman too.</p>
<p>Yes the decision notification at the earliest is on the 15th of March, but they have to make decisions before hand. Does clicking setup then clicking other show you an option of welcome transfer?</p>
<p>For mine, it is just welcome to georgia tech. I think you can take a phone call with GT and ask for the reason. If you really get accept, congratulation!Hope that see you in GT in 2013 FALL !</p>
<p>@marty212 I can see the page which is ‘welcome transfer student’ , just like you! I hope we’re accepted! I’m majoring in CS in community college with cumulative GPA 3.73 (3.95 GT GPA since I have so many A-) I’ve taken all requirements except English II. My file has been ‘under review’ for 5 weeks. I applied to Gatech 1/15 midnight (12:05 EST). Maybe I’m the very first one who applied to Gatech. I got an e-mail from Gatech when I requested evaluating my course. On the e-mail, the evaluating officer assumed that I’m accepted. It was very vague and I can see the same post with you… … What is going on now in Buzzport…</p>
<p>I just called to Gatech and they said it’s not the decision. It doesn’t mean anything. They(Not you) will setup your page when you are accepted.</p>
<p>mine is Welcome Applicants and Welcome to Georgia Tech .I do not see it. If GT is right, that’s fine. If not, congratulation to you guys and I need to wait for more time …</p>
<p>^
I just called to Gatech and they said it’s not the decision. It doesn’t mean anything. They(Not you) will setup your page when you are accepted. I mean this thing</p>
<p>Ya… I think they took down that message. Anyways, it doesn’t seem like it means anything because I am able to get the congratulation messages for basically every single type of student they admit and information about the waitlist, which is odd to say the least. It is fun to speculate on decisions though.</p>
<p>I asked my friend who is currently a student there, and he sees the channels as available too. I think they just do these things across the board for every account.</p>
<p>hope that we will see each other in there in this Fall. I really want to explore the east coast of the US!( well, I am currently in Washington state and I come from Hong Kong)</p>
