If one gets accepted GA Tech through EA, do they have to commit in Dec itself? Can we wait until decisions are received from our reach colleges (IVY’s) ?

5

The commitment date is the same for EA and RD, generally May 1

Thanks. Then it seems as Georgia resident better to apply for EA. Usually 7 to 10 kids from my Daughter’s school every year goes to Tech.

I would edit the wiki but I don’t see the option. Here is a link to the application deadlines per GA Tech.

You can wait to commit. However, you may want to go ahead and pay the dorm fee and sign the dorm contract as that is something that is better done earlier. There was not enough dorm space this year for those who waited til the last minute. Your preference to choose dorm is based on when fee is paid and contract is executed. It is around 800 but some is refundable if you cancel and commit elsewhere.

This year that was especially true. The regular decision acceptance rate (for those who applied RD or who were deferred EA) was only 11 percent.

11

Good for you! I just edited the UGA one. The acceptance rate was off by 20 percent!!

How easy is to change major at the Tech? We did the virtual session for GT, it seems easy enough though. My daughter is divided between Applied Math and CS. Applying to the Tech in EA.

When do decisions start coming out for EA? Is that on specific day or is that rolling ?

15

In-state will hear early or mid December. Out of state in January.

16

Last year was December 4 and January 23, so December 3 and January 22 would be good bets. Possibly a week later.

They all come out on the same day. They even specified “Friday evening” and “Saturday afternoon”.

What exact funds are tied to CSS profile at Georgia Tech? We have filed FAFSA, but not planning on filing CSS. Are there grants, scholarships associated with FAFSA other than student loan?

I’m trying to figure out the same thing. I can’t tell if you have to do both to be considered for any merit aid (regardless of financial need).

Got email from them that need to submit application for financial aid. In that it said if for institutional scholarship only (which is very limited) then donot have to do css.

Received an Email including a GATech ID# asking for additional documentation to finalize the financial aid file thru ‘OSCAR’. Any thoughts? Thanks
