^^ Wow.

@vtanboy29 thanks. we were a bit surprised too but then we knew that it’s not all about scores and grades. we are hoping he will get accepted :slight_smile: correction too, my son did have some leaderships but nothing of the major kinds. in addition,
SAT subject test: Math II 800 and Physics 710
Top 1% of his class too out 300+

Did anyone get anything snail mail yet? I’m hoping the acceptance package soon to see if/when they are having open house for admitted students.

@gmc0508 My son has almost an identical SAT I score as yours, his several subject SATs are above 750, with an 800 on SAT Math II. His GPA is lower than yours at 3.80 unweighted. He was fortunately enough to be accepted for C.S. His 9th through 11th grades were spent in a reputable high school Georgia, which might have helped. There is a good chance your son will be accepted during RD. The admit rate for deferred students is anywhere between 15 and 25%. Let Tech know your son will enroll if accepted - the yield rate has become increasingly important to every college.

@GaHopeful The dates for admitted students events came out today. Just go on the email acceptance and click the link.

Is the housing application open yet? I was wondering when I would be able to start it.

You can put down your housing deposit and fill out the survey, but you can’t enter a building preference yet.

@gmc0508 My profile is also very similar, but I’m an international deferred student in CS, with a little lower SAT. Let’s all hope for the best :slight_smile:

@FL32223 I appreciate the advise and will definitely tell my son. @vtanboy29 yes, hoping for the best for all :slight_smile:

@yankeeinGA When will we be able to enter building preferences?

@1353116461 when my kiddo filled it out it said something about how ticket numbers for housing preferences are issued based on when you register, but I don’t think it said when.

Hey do you guys know if Georgia Tech averages the classes in your mid year report? or do they look at each quarter individually and find the gpa that way?

Did any international student get admission yet?

For EA, yes :slight_smile:

@curious_ Congrats! My son got deferred for EA with SAT score of 1540/1600, and don’t know how much chance in RD.

@yy05z12 yes

@yy05z12 I’m not international, but I think that if your kid was deferred, he should stay hopeful. I believe Tech tries only to defer students they really are considering.

@yankeeinGA not any of those I know, most got deferred including me

How will alternates know if they will move forward with the Stamps interview process?
