Hi all,
Please post your status if you are waitlisted from Georgia tech for class of 2020 admission
does anyone know how many were waitlisted this time? and also the percentage of how many were accepted for last year.
Sadly joining this thread, but happy I didn’t get rejected! I accepted my spot and im probably going to touch base with my admissions person soon. They probably WL the about the same number of kids this year as last year, even though more students applied. Welp, time to wait for all my other decisions, commit, and then see if I get a call in may.
How many were accepted from waitlist last year?
Wait-listed here too. Would like to know the percentage of students accepted without wait-list and after wait-list, the percentage of students wait-listed, as well as the percentage of students rejected without wait-list and after wait-list.
This year Tech gave acceptances to roughly 1000 fewer students than last year, as last year’s freshman class was bigger than they wanted. I don’t know for sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that means that last year they accepted no one from the list, or very few.
With fewer acceptances this time, maybe more students will come off the wait list this year.
This recent blog posts by Admission Director Rick Clark gives you some good insight into how the waitlist will work this year at Georgia Tech. http://pwp.gatech.edu/admission-blog/2016/03/14/the-wait-list-sucks-part-1-of-3/
Georgia Tech’s Common Data Set can give you the information you are seeking about the waitlist. Last year approximately 2000 students accepted positions on the waitlist and GT offered admission to 38 students from the waitlist.
