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

@Xboxgamergirl I heard that decisions came out 10 minutes before the expected time last year…so that leaves us with another hour to wait…

@Xboxgamergirl Yup! They just say that it was an average “A” saying that they cannot compare various GPAs from different schools

Here is the breakdown for this years EA Applications:

This year, we received almost 15,000 Early Action applications (an increase of 27 percent over last year). Our admit rate for Early Action will be approximately 30 percent (down from 45 percent last year).

Early Action Decision Breakdown
Admitted: 30%
Deferred: 25%
Denied: 40%
Other: 5%

Admitted Profile
Average SAT: 1453
Average ACT: 33
Average Number of AP/IB/DE courses: 11

287 Georgia High Schools
48 States (and D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, and US Virgin Islands)
52 Nations

BUT STILL- WHERE’S THE MENTION OF THE GPA ??? ^^^^^^

Are y’all going to capture your decision on video? I captured DS’s UGA acceptance. With only 30% acceptance rat an acceptance decision is going to be a big, exciting deal!! I’m getting the go-pro ready now!! 1 HOUR TO GO!!! :-SS

p.s. DS = Dear Son

@CHCollege123 AHHH!! that’s probably because the time was different last year. But man, ITS 11!!! I’ll be checking every minute.

GPA"doesn’t matter" because GA Tech ranks in school; since schools have different weights they average it by grade. :slight_smile: (“A” average was last year)

@MexitalianMom no!! I can’t do that. are you Mexican/Italian?

@glm1998 I agree…I just mentioned the “A” average because it is the latest statistic we have…and avg. stats only get better every year… :slight_smile:

Yeah, but I mean last year they said that the approximate ranking was 3.8, I would expected them to say something about gpa. Like A average or 3.7 or something!

@Xboxgamergirl Haha…lol…

I’m so nervous right now and what’s worse is that I have my Chemistry pre board on monday :-SS

k, I’m gonna go watch something on netflix

Does GT count A- into GPA? If so then I actually have a 3.95 instead of 4.0.

@Xboxgamergirl Yes, I am Mexican and my hubby Italian, so my kids are mexitalian!

There have been a lot of messages on CC lately (yesterday and today)…ppl are just really stressed out about their decisions! Good Luck everyone! Do not forget to enjoy the moment of your decision when it is revealed and don’t forget to post your decisions on the decisions thread… :)>-

GT does not recalculate GPA, they just look at it. If its a good gpa (3.7 and on) then that’s an A average

@MexitalianMom I’m trying to figure out who your son is lol.

are u a teacher at south?

Have been up since 7 am and reading this thread constantly. The wait is killing us and the posted EA stats makes it worse! Fingers crossed for good news soon!!! Good luck everyone!

@CHCollege123 leave me alone!!!
