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

I don’t know, but when do standardized test scores need to be sent in by?

@Salutation - I think I remember reading something about transcripts, test scores, and recommendations being sent by December 1st. Double-check yourself, though – the information is definitely on the website.

@glasshours you were right. all the documents can be sent by dec.1
Thank you!

do you guys think the oct act will be ready for the EA deadline? and does anyone know how GA Tech is looking at ACT scores in terms of superscore and what sections they look at

I can’t believe we only find out January 9!

You can look at https://mydecision.gatech.edu/decisions/index.jsp, for your specific decision date if you click the large yellow button that says click here to see your decision

@nikolove123 I’m dubious. Mine says Nov 2.

I guess you will have to wait till nov. 2 to see? maybe thats when the decisions will start going out or something… but i don’t think EA1 decisions will come out starting in January, it will probably be sooner

@ShawnLooch Mine also says Nov. 2. But when I looked on Buzzport, it says they haven’t even recieved my test scores so I not too sure about that date. Can anyone verify that this date is official?

Also in general I applied through common app for Early Action, but on my buzzport, it says entry as “Regular Freshmen”. Will this change or do I have to contact Admissions to change this for me

@hramani218 I am in the same boat as you. No test scores yet the decision release date is Nov.2.

All my scores and transcript reports are in, unlike other posters. I’m thinking this is a mistake

I have 4 living relatives who graduated from Tech.

Dude. You’re in.

@fprosk I hope so! Also hoping to do the interview for President’s, for I know the interviewer.

Hm I think you have a very good chance for that. Is there only one interviewer for President’s?

@Hermit9 - if you don’t get in, then my son has NO chance! :slight_smile:

lol same here. if @Hermit9 doesnt get in, neither can i

@fprosk I think it’s one person who interviews, but your regional counselor plays a huge role in getting you nominated (they send GT 4 recommended students from each region to my knowledge) as well as the admissions office. My parents and I met with the regional Tech rep and I think my dad also knows the guy on the admissions board who officially nominates people. #Connections4dayz

Really? Shoot my region’s rep is coming here in 2 days!
