@CYN112 unfortunately all i can say is holistic review

@CYN112 I’m sorry you’re disappointed, truly. Holistic review means exactly that, and even if it didn’t, there’s no need to get angry at others. Everyone worked really hard. You can be upset without being rude to students who were accepted.

You were axepted?

I got my decision, 3.4 gpa deferred , but did anyone get an email? because I did not.

@gottano Jeez, that’s crazy. Congrats to her, though!

@tropicalgod Got an email from ga tech around noon CST about admission

Deferred… 1430/1600 SAT, 3.9uw&4.3w (11APs) asian male

Did anyone else notice how the admitted Facebook group is actually just a page that you can like rather than a group that you can join? I wish there was an actual group so that people could more easily post things/ get to know each other.

Do you know what “A final admission decision is not available at this time.” means? I was wondering if that meant a deferred decision.

Can someone just create one and post it here?

Anyone know if there are any group chats we can join? Also, forgot to post earlier- Accepted :slight_smile:
