I got this email from Georgia Tech titled “Special Invitation” for Shadow Day. Does this mean anything??
Are you applying for liberal arts because I know it’s a typical thing for those prospective students who apply to those majors
This page (http://www.buzzcard.gatech.edu/node/163) says that gtID #s are issued to admitted students, and it gives an option to look up your id # (https://webapps.gatech.edu/cfeis/gtid/). I am able to get a number out of the lookup button. Is anyone else able to get a number, and what are the first three digits? (903 for me)
Mine also begins with 903. @Homework82
Mine also begins with 903 @jumpingJay42
where did you get this link from?
I really need to take a break right now, so stressed!
I found it by poking around the website. It links to it from the BuzzCard page, which is linked to from the bottom of gatech.edu @bsaun99
I also have 903, but I don’t think that really means anything. I received my buzzcard over the summer before I ever started my application for GT. Also, I’m pretty sure that every student who applied received a gtID because you need it to apply for FA and access buzzport.
I easily found my gtid just logging on to buzzport. Im pretty sure all of ours will start with 903
I got my GTID# when I sent in my fafsa months ago. It started with 903 too. Doubt it means anything then
in case anyone didn’t see this, it’s a countdown calendar to the decision release https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?p0=25&iso=20180113T12
The GTID thing just gave me a heart attack. This wait is killing me!
Wait about the Shadow Day thing. I applied as a CS major first choice and as a Math Major second choice, yet got the Shadow Day invite. Is this strange?
@Homework82 @jumpingJay42 @MoulayBabay22 Don’t think it actually means anything. Mine is also 903.
Looks like Shadow Day is for Ivan Allen CLA and is open to anyone. See http://shadowday.iac.gatech.edu/registration/registration.php. You have to pay if you are not admitted or wait listed.
Any of you applying to scheller ? Hoping that it’s a lot less competitive. OOS so chances are slim anyway hahahaha
Before this chat gets too crazy, does anybody know what % get deferred?
I am OOS applying to Scheller as well. I’m pretty sure it isn’t any less competitive.
I found this from 2014
EA admit rate: 40% (Avg. SAT= 1485/2193 w/ 9+ AP/IB/College courses by graduation). Defer 24%, Deny 32%. (5% closed/ incomplete)
Also read that 18% of deferred students were later admitted in 2017.
From 2016 I found this related to about 15,000 applicants:
Admitted: 30%
Deferred: 25%
Denied: 40%
Other: 5%
Looks like from 2014 to 2016 they denied more people and the defer rate stayed at about 25%. So if the later admitted student number from 2017 is accurate, if there were 15000 applicants then:
4500 admit, 3750 defer, 6000 deny and later of the 3750 deferrals, 675 get admitted
