Is this good news?
“However, we are pleased to offer you the Georgia Tech Arts & Sciences Pathway Program for Fall 2019 as a transfer student.”
From Tech:
Earlier today, we released Early Action admission decisions. Made up of innovators and influencers, the accepted students range from being dancers to pilots, from entrepreneurs to environmentalists, from bee keepers to app developers. In their families, on their teams, and in their communities and schools, they have built, worked, played, changed, supported, and initiated.
These students will Create the Next at Georgia Tech and beyond. When we look at the Class of 2022, we’re excited about the character, background, insights, passion, and the dynamic personalities they will add to our campus.

In state valedictorians and salutatorians…
@mathgeek2000, I am surprised… Only about 2100 Georgia students in the high school class of 2017 had above a 1400 SAT. I would bet there are no more than 1000 kids in GA with a 1500+ in your class and over 2000 in-state kids got accepted. With Georgia Tech being a state school, I would have bet on you but things tend to work out how they are supposed to. You will get into fabulous schools with your stats and have a great college experience.
Accepted.

Yeah, I can’t stand affirmative action. College admissions should be entirely merit based. I go to Wheeler which isn’t too far away.
Annnddddd denied
Is Stamps the only scholarship that has any notice before the mid-April release of award notices per this GT web page?

Rejected from GTech, yet deferred at MIT…not going to bother with stats because it doesn’t matter.
Good luck to all the deferred!
What does deferred mean, you go to regular decision pool.
Is this considered deferred ?

@whereinnj no, if you are deferred it explicitly says deferred.
REJECTED Biomedical Engineering
OOS Asian American male
GPA: 3.8+ (weighted), 3.7 (unweighted) / 4.0.
ACT with writing: 33 & 34 (if SS) (34 English / 35 Math / 31 Reading / 34 Science).
Took 7 APs (7 offered at my school): US History, Psychology, Human Geography, US Gov, English Literature & Comp, Chemistry, Calculus AB)
Extra curricular activities are mostly taking leadership in volunteer work for a local non-profit, STEM competitions, a entrepreneurship business competition, part time job & an internship.
Two supplemental essays are pretty well done (in my opinion), but the CommonApp essay is so-so. Letter of recommendation will be decent.
Good luck at GT for those who got accepted.

Honestly I’m kind of surprised. I was under the impression that I was a very strong applicant, so I was expecting an acceptance. I suppose this just proves how unpredictable admissions can be. The deferral does make me worry about my other pending applications.
I’m pretty sure it is a guaranteed transfer. What I’m wondering is how many people get it.
My son received an email that they will notify on Tuesday, 1/16 about the Stamps Scholarship.
@whereinnj are you out of state? it seems to be pretty common in state, where if you go somewhere else and get a certain GPA your freshman year, you are guaranteed admission for a transfer the following year.
@sdl0625 I am in NJ.
Does anyone know about in state deffered rate? Like should i just give up?? Or should i be hopeful because im a instate female…
