***Georgia Tech Class of 2021 EA Applicant Thread***

we shall see… @indy101

GT Admission tweeted “Getting ready for Saturday as we release over 15,500 admissions decisions”

So if I die of a heart attack on Saturday, I’ll blame GT

Only 2 days, 16 hours, and 7 minutes more until decisions come out!

They posted a photo on Instagram with Buzz and a sign that says #gt21

@EF431x Exciting yet so scary lol.

So, it is about time huh…

@indy101 The feeling is mutual, haha

How does applying work for international students? And if you are an international student, why GT? I’m just curious. I live like 45 min away from ATL so I have a different perspective.

@grecogekko Just like it works for you. You fill out the ComApp application, get the transcripts and reccomendatinos sent by the teachers and counselor, send the scores via the testing agency and then waiting for results to come out.
The only thing different is, we can’t apply for Financial Aid since Tech is a state school.

Why GATech?

  1. Ranking for my intended major
  2. Co-op Program(This is a major reason)
  3. Location. I want to go somewhere in the south.
  4. Good placement rate and median starting salary.
  5. Sorta nerdy chic community
  6. Study Abroad… well, GATech is technically study abroad for me… but maybe 1 semester in a different country.

@IamINTP that’s cool. Yeah the south is pretty lit tbh. Atlanta is awesome!!! What country are you applying from?

@grecogekko India.

@IamINTP Cool. Well, good luck! Not much more waiting left. #gt2021

@IamINTP the results will tell whether it @gt21 for me or not. :’)

Good luck to you as well! :slight_smile:

@IamINTP Definitely in with those stats

@indy101 I have a gut feeling I will be deferred, but lets wait and watch.

There is nothing to lose from this point onward.

What do you think about your own stats?

@IamINTP Those are really impressive, at least from my own perspective. Props to you.

@e2187s They are indeed. I bet if I showed those stats to my 9th grade self, she’d be shocked.

But the thing is, being an Asian is the biggest problem here. Tough competition, yanno?

AHhhh I am so nervous… about Saturday!
