***Georgia Tech Class of 2020 EA Applicant Thread***

Hopefully someone who applied last year can answer this. My Buzzport is not yet locked, and I have nothing about financial aid/scholarships under personal announcements. Could this be a sign that I am going to be rejected? Could the lack of the financial aid announcement have something to do with the fact that I will not be applying for financial aid at all?
Stats:
OOS Male
SAT: 2190 (760M, 740 CR, 690 W)
SAT II: 790 M2, 730 Physics

Wait, they mail packages to OOS students too?

@glasshours yes… Everyone gets an acceptance package if they get accepted.

Just curious, how many of you have Buzzports that say decision made. Mine still says File Under Review

But if they only hand out acceptances at school and you don’t get one then you pretty much know you weren’t accepted…

@dcplanner no, no no no no no!!! @-)

Everyone gets a packet regardless. Everyone will either get a packet that says congratulations on the top (means ur accepted) OR a packet that says nothing (means ur deferred or rejected).

Only SOME will get their packets handed to them physically from an gtech rep on Friday. This is mostly done for the first 30-50 students and to unrepresented minors IN STATE as a means to recognize their passion for tech.

@dcplanner if ur friends get a packet on school on Friday and u dont, that means nothing. Just means that u probably weren’t one of the first to apply, u cant definitely say. Also some might students might get their packets on Monday (after the 9th) to recognize them in school

Again, they mostly go to schools where not many people apply for tech or have unrepresented students or schools that are financially unstable

@MABlue the issue of buzzport being locked has nothing to do with decisions because I had that problem due to citizen documents that were being filed. I am able to access it now. I think we will find out decisions out on MyDecisions, not bport. they will probably email us a link.

And the financial part, the message is gone from my buzzport now, so I dont think u have anything to worry about. :slight_smile:

@MABlue it could be that on the application u selected “no” for “will you be needing financial aid?”
Did u select that?

@dcplanner Lol. :smiley:

@Fireball99 - Sorry, I’ve only been accepted to my state school so far. All they did was bombard me with a bunch of emails–no packages. :stuck_out_tongue:

@Xboxgamergirl I did indeed select “no” for “will you be needing financial aid?”, however what you said about buzzport not having any indication of the decision is encouraging. I guess we are all looking for any signs since it’s so close to the deadline.

@Salutation Me tooooo :smiley:
@Hermit9 Thankss

Do international students also get acceptance packages? (relatively late of course)

@Hermit9 Gwinnett

@sabertooth97 they should!

I just logged into my Buzzport and under “Application Quick View” it says “A break-in attempt was detected”. Anyone else?

@ifizzle321 Mine didn’t say that.

And I guess that explains it, Gwinnett borders Fulton…

Does anyone know if Georgia Tech caps how many students they accept from one school? I’m scared because a lot of qualified people from my school applied early this year…

@lolacell I don’t think so
