<p>Howdy. I just got my letter this weekend! I applied for the EE major. Stats:</p>

<p>Hey, does anyone know when we'll find out about the Presidential Scholarships? I didn't get any information regarding whether or not I was accepted for any amount.</p>
<p>I was told that the notification for semi-finalists would be on December 15th, so watch out for that. Good Luck too!</p>
<p>I applied with a 1370 SATs and 3.5 GPA</p>
<p>I got accepted GA Tech.</p>
<p>SAT: 660 V; 780 M
SAT II's: (at the time I applied) 660 Writing; 750 Physics; 780 IIC
GPA: 4.3
EC's: Soccer captain, math team captain, student government, GA governor's honors program, national honors society, etc.</p>
<p>I was admitted a week or two ago.</p>
<p>3.9 uw/4.23 w/ranked 5 of 524/1600/800/750/750
Several EC's - musical, athletic, academic, etc.</p>
<p>They called me yesterday about the President's Scholarship to let me know I was a semi-finalist. I know someone who also got a letter on Friday saying that they weren't a semi-finalist. So, it should be very soon (not "after December 15th" like the app says.)</p>
<p>I received my letter today; I didn't qualify for the Presidential Scholarship but I'm pretty sure I've been accepted.. I mean, they come out and say "Your acceptance for Georgia Tech is proof of your strong record of achievement yadda yadda yadda.." so I'm assuming that I'm in.</p>
<ul>
<li>Out of state female from private all-girls Catholic school</li>
<li>3.9 UW/4.2 W GPA (but at the time I sent my app I think it was 3.8/3.9.. not sure)</li>
<li>1380 SAT (670V/710M)</li>
<li>Lots of ec's and leadership activities.. whatever</li>
</ul>
<p>Congrats to everyone that's been accepted, and extra congrats to those who are semi-finalists! Awesome job, guys!</p>
<p>how many semi-finalists are chosen?</p>
<p>My letter said of 4,788 eligible applicants (completed application by Oct. 31), 450 were selected to be semi-finalists. </p>
<p>I haven't received an acceptance letter but I assumed and then had confirmed that if you are a semi-finalist you are accepted (makes sense, huh?).</p>
<p>-Out of state male at large public high school (South Carolina)
-3.96 UW GPA/4.94 W GPA (SC has really weird Uniform Grading Scale)
-10/377 (about 2.7%)
-SAT I: M-740 V-720
-SAT IIs: US History-800, Math IIC-780, Chem-800, Writing-780
-Lot's of ECs and leadership related with academic/science teams</p>
<p>I'm in-state and i applied middle of November; my friend has received several letters from gatech saying he'll receive his confirmation "sometime between now and March"...</p>
<p>Anyone know when i'll receive mine?? The vagueness of the Georgia Tech Adcom is killing me right now...</p>
<p>sticking with the topic or this thread, look at my stats.</p>
<p>So I finally got my acceptance packet from Georgia Tech today!</p>
<p>It was a big, thin envelope that said "Congratulations, You're a Yellow Jacket!" with a background of Atlanta and fireworks.</p>
<p>Who else has gotten one?</p>
<p>me--- I have.</p>
<p>Did any of you get an email about your acceptance? I got it and found it wierd...... It was like one of their advertisements......</p>
<p>I will still wait for the envelope and suppress my feelings of happiness........</p>

<p>Y2K wizard, exactly the same for me...</p>
<p>Anyhow, got mine today.</p>
<ul>

-Really tough courseload though
-Applied Aerospace Engineering (Only school where I chose engineering)

-Essay- I used my origami essay, but replaced the second half with some corny challenge thing.</li>
</ul>
<p>Not a Semifinalist.</p>
<p>My first acceptance, so I'm really happy!</p>
<p>By the way, it is not a thick envelope (And I didn't even notice those words on the outside...)</p>
<p>Did you guys apply regular? When did you apply?</p>
<p>I don't think there is really an early action/decision program or anything, just a deadline for consideration for in the President's Scholarship Program which was Oct. 31...that's when I applied.</p>
<p>Just replying with an update on my situation: I got a letter recently saying that I'm a Semifinalist for the President's Scholarship. I'm pretty shocked, mainly because my stats aren't really better than some of those who didn't get a letter. Oh, well...kinda doubt I'll get Finalist.</p>
