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

@soorvora lots of Indians in Georgia, it scared me the first time I came here.

When you…

Look to ur left- Indian!
Look to ur right-Indian!
Look back- Indian!
Look in front- indian!
Look at urself- Indian!

@Xboxgamergirl ok that makes me feel so much better!

@Xboxgamergirl True, I am part Cherokee.

T - 2 days, 15.5 hours.

AHH Can’t Wait!!! Before I knew anything about tech, I thought Indians were like a minority there, so I was scared to apply. lol After researching, I am amazed! Really excited for the study abroad programs!

Okay, we gotta get one thing clear: I’m a Asian Indian, not American Indian,lol. Idk if @Hermit9 meant that as a joke, so I was all like… Oh, gt is filled with Indians (Asian Indians). @Salutation I’m so excited for study abroad in college. And they have so many Bollywood dance clubs, its gonna be amazing. And tehey have a rowing team, and a muauy Thai team, and a badminton team, and a debate team!!! I have like 20 clubs lined up. But not sure how I’m gonna do that with study abroad and if its even possible. Not even sure that I’m gonna make it in, hopefully I do!!!

And over the summer they have a freshmen camp where u basically play holi. (throw colors at each other!)

@Hermit9 did mean it as a joke lol, hahahahah! :slight_smile:

To make you want to get in even more: 5 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets named to @Forbes #30Under30 list for 2016. http://c.gatech.edu/30Undr30

I’m going to be in a wrestling tournament when decisions are released, haha.

@Xboxgamergirl Yes, I was kidding. :-j

@Hermit9 lol that was pretty funny… are you actually party Cherokee though? Cause if you are, that’s pretty dope.

But yea, there’s lots of Indians in Georgia and especially Georgia Tech (@all International Indian Applicants). It seems like a pretty nice community as @Xboxgamergirl pointed out. There’s stuff like GT Qurbani, the Fusion/Bollywood dance team.

Yes! So many Indians(including me), especially South Indians, in GA and even more in Tech! But guys, to be serious it is even harder for Indians to get in because there are so many of us and we are considered Asians, so there will be added competition from other Asians too!

@RugbyDude6 I have a great, great, great grandmother who was, so technically but not really haha.

This year, more than 25% of students will be Asian!

I’m South Indian. I was considering not answering the race question at all in my Common App but I figured it wouldn’t help cause my name would have given it away

I don’t know if I’m surprised or not to find out there are so many Indians at Georgia Tech.

I’m Indian too! #desipride

Anotherindian here

@Xboxgamergirl LOL. Are you studying in India or in the US?

Hahahaha another Indian here! How many of you guys actually live in India? Does your school deflate grades in class 11 too?

@direstraits25 I live in India and yes. They do. They love seeing us sad :))

@hellolol hahaa I feel you mate. Did you explain this to your counselor? I was going to write an email, but then I figured that since it’s so common around here they probably know about it already. Are you a part of the CBSE system?
