Hey guys… What do you think are my chances similarly? OOS, 2170 SAT (760 in Math), 730 Math Level 2 SAT II, decent ECs, excellent volunteering, had a job for a couple of months, pretty good essay, decent/‘meh’ supplements, 3.92 UW/4.33 W, most rigorous courses available in my school, 8 APs taken (10 available in school, 2 couldn’t be taken due to scheduling), some awards such as NMSF, AP scholar awards, etc.
Indian Male
CS major.
Thanks a lot guys!
@rkumar3550 As an OOS, you may get waitlisted.
@Hermit9 I don’t know if this helps, but I applied for the summer session
@rkumar3550 I believe so, actually. One of my neighbours is a freshman at Tech now, and to my understanding, he did a summer session and it helped him get in.
@Hermit9 but are u and ur neighbor In-state or out-of-state? That’s the thing I’m worried about- the residency factor.
We are in-state.
@Hermit9 that could explain it then
@rkumar3550 I wish I could help more but I just haven’t read up on this.
In Buzzport, does everyone else also see “Apply Now for 2016-2017 Georgia Tech Scholarships and Financial Aid!” under Personal Announcements? It says the message was delivered the 28th and will expire Jan 4th. I tried clicking the link in the message but I was blocked from filling out the form. Lol, I’m sure I’m just being paranoid but the closer it gets to the deadline the more nervous I get!
@itsmyusername I don’t have it…
@Fireball99 Maybe we’re looking at different things. On the page right when you log in, there’s a letter from your admissions counselor, and next to that column there’s a blue heading that says “Personal Announcements”, are you looking under that?
Yeah it just says there are no announcements. But I filled out that form when they sent it in their newsletter last month… @itsmyusername what did it say when you tried to access it?
@Fireball99 Weird, I had closed that page so I logged in again and now it’s working. Before it said something like “blocked login”. I see the questionnaire now though, it has questions about figure skating and Costa Rica? Anyway, I didn’t fill it out from the email, so that must be why.
Wait what I didn’t fill out that questionnaire… Is figure skating like an extracurricular or…? @itsmyusername
Well the first few questions are like “will you live on or off campus”, “what loans will you apply for”, but then there’s some random questions that probably are for some very specific scholarships. @Fireball99
edit: I went through my inbox and found the old email. They’re the same questionnaires.
@itsmyusername Could you provide some additional information on this questionnaire? I never received one in my inbox nor do I have the option to fill it out now. I might be one of the last people to submit their application in the Early Action round, if it’s based on when they get to you. Are you in-state?
Sorry for the question. Just a bit worried now after you and fireball recieved additonal questions.
@Kazoo98 No worries! The email was actually not specifically about the form, it was just one of those newsletters they send to all applicants I think. The title was “Georgia Tech Applicant Update” if you want to look for it. And nope, I’m from Michigan. Did you say you were applying for financial aid on the application?
For my Common App Essay, I accidentally chose the wrong prompt. My GT Supplemental Essays are def 10/10 though and I have a 33 on ACT, 2200 SAT, Rank 10/535, 3.96/4.0, 4.45 weighted. Do you think I should be fine even though I made a mistake with the prompt?
I forgot. 800 Math Level 2, 760 Chemistry.
8APs, 5 4s, 3 5s
1AP this year, and two classes at a college
Applying for BME
@RandomSATBaller Did you call your counselor at Tech and tell her that you accidentally chose the wrong prompt?
