Out of State
True. I also feel like itās merely possible to get into other transfer programs :(((
Anyone can transfer into Georgia Tech. They do however have several pathways that make it easier. For general transfers, fall is the most competitive and summer is the least generally speaking. All Georgia students have the option to do the REPT pathway, which is a 2 year transfer admission process. If you fall into certain other categories (first generation, Atlanta Public Schools, Arts and Sciences (for these majors only), alumni or employee child or grandchild, etc., you get a one year transfer pathway with a 3.3 GPA requirement which makes it significantly easier if you fulfill all the requirements which they are very strict on. They donāt use the word guaranteed but they call it a āsecure offerā. I guess that gives them some wiggle room but really seems to be the same thing. There are kids every year who miss the GPA by .05, or sign up for a class that satisfies the requirement at their college but does not transfer to Tech - have to pay very close attention but worth it for those whose dream is GT.

Thanks for the information! Right now I would take whatever they offer me cuz being waitlisted is driving me crazy, to be honest.
Spoke with someone in admissions this morning. They said that they have met their class goals by May 1 deposit deadline. They expect some students, that were wait listed at other colleges, to drop out in which case they may have an update (or may close out) wait list in the next 1-2 weeks. Not great news but thats the word form their admissions team.

I havenāt heard of much waitlist movement if any at schools that people who deposited at GT would accept and several have closed their waitlist already. If theyāve met their class goals as of almost a month ago, they are just waiting to see if anyone tells them they are not coming. Iām sure they are evaluating orientation sign ups and room selections as they occur to see if there is any room in the class. UGA is also over enrolled apparently and if you did not sign up for orientation by May 25 your acceptance was canceled. Not sure if Georgia Tech has a similar cut off or not.
My guess is right now the admissions officers are trying to read the tea leaves, and will not close the waitlist officially until they are sure the class is full. Last year, it was weeks after they took the last person off the waitlist before the waitlist closed email went out. Doesnāt sound like thereās much of a chance this year though.

Waitlist closed rip
Just received an L
GL to you all !
Iām pretty sure GT has a lot of transfer pathways for us
Same hereā¦just received an L
But how would we get a transfer pathway after we got rejected
The Georgia Tech transfer pathways are very well defined. First generation, Atlanta public schools, arts and sciences, etc. You have to fall within one of the designated pathways to receive one. Those who are eligible for a pathway and were waitlisted should have received a pathway offer in their notification letter on the portal that the waitlist is closed, if it works like years past.
