So who else is applying? I submitted my Early Action application today :slight_smile:

2

I am. Do you know if teacher recommendations can be submitted even after the deadline tonight, as long as they are already assigned?

My son did, though we’re not super confident (homeschool student). @Buck5266 - I think the teacher rec can come in after the 10/15 deadline, just make sure it gets done. Thought I read that somewhere on their site (??).

My son’s rec is not in either (but definitely assigned). Should be soon though.

@SouthFloridaMom9 Thanks for the reply! Are you saying there may be some sort of penalty if I submit my application with a teacher assigned, but they never actually submit their recommendation?

I assigned a teacher who said she would write one, … but I think she forgot.

No, I’m not saying there would be a penalty if she didn’t send it in. On the other hand I’m not sure how the admissions office would look at that. It’s hard to say. I would just remind her, as nicely as possible. You should be OK.

ETA: Sorry if my first post wasn’t clear - I meant that I thought I read somewhere on their site that supporting documents can come in after the 10/15/15 deadline, as long as you have your app in. But double check me on all this.

Check this page (about the middle of the page):

@Buck5266 it won’t affect you negatively if she doesn’t submit it, however, if she does, it could benefit you. What major are you going for? :slight_smile:

8

Its fine if you don’t have a teacher or a counselor recommendation, but you must submit your teacher rec and your counselor rec by december 1st! :slight_smile:

Did you guys get an email for BuzzPort from Georgia Tech?

10

@Salutation Not yet. That might be because I applied like 2 hours before the deadline.

11

@Salutation @Buck5266 me neither but I applied on the 15th. Could you guys let me know when you get the email?

12

Sure. I didn’t get it either.

13

Yeah I’m still waiting too

14

@Salutation @Buck5266 I recieved my buzzport stuff yesterday

Same here. My transcrpits and my sat scores are missing.
