I applied 2 days ago, when do i get my buzzport email?

23

How much harder is it for OSS than in-state?

24

Did you all see the tweet this morning form admissions? It said that EA applications were up 28% this year–they received about 15,000.

25

wow, that is a big jump… about 3200 more applicants in comparison to last year…

26

Yikes. Hope my chances aren’t that greatly diminished.

27

haha same here.

Whats your guys’ SAT/ACT scores?

28

Okay, I submitted my application a couple of days ago, and I just received the email for BuzzPort, but every time I try to make a GT Account, the website gives me an error that states “Self-service vetting is not available for you.” Did/does anyone have this problem?

29

@ifizzle321 - I’m having the same problem, glad I’m not the only one! Anyone else?

If it doesn’t get resolved by Monday, I’m going to call.

30

@CovertClay if the application was submitted before 11:59 in your timezone you should be fine, accoridng to GATech Admissions instagram page.

31

@glasshours thank God I’m not the only one! I’m calling as well.

32

Don’t worry about the self-vetting: give yourself 24 hours and then check again for sure. That happened to me (Tuesday night) but then I was able to get it to work mid-Wednesday morning

33

Submitted back in September, but BuzzPort only changed to File Under Review a few days ago

34

When did you guys turn in your applications?
The BuzzPort didn’t email me.
Should I call, I’m getting concerned?

35

@Salutation - I turned my app in on the 14th at 12 AM, and didn’t get an email until last night.

36

I turned my app on the 14th of October as well, and still didn’t get an email.

37

The page is still not letting me activate my GT account, argh

38

@glasshours same here.

39

it takes few days, just be patient

40

I submitted my app on the 14th and I received the email too. However, I can’t login because it’s showing that self service vetting isn’t enabled for me.

@Salutation To answer your question, 34 ACT (35 on Math and Science, 34 on English and 31 on Reading).
