Anybody get off the wait list yet?
Looks like they are going to the waitlist - https://twitter.com/gtadmission
I got off the waitlist.
Already committed to Emory though.
Has anyone gotten accepted for Mechanical Engineering?
I was accepted from the WL last Friday for civil/environmental engineering (though I’m sure you get in as just “Engineering”), and have decided to commit to GATech.
I am freaking out. Got in today.
My son got in to GT.
Just out of curiosity, are you guys in state or out of state
Got accepted today, I’m comitting!!! So surprised and pumped
@HbfhGh I’m from MA
I got in to GT today!!! So happy right now!! I’m from upstate New York and thought I was going to get totally passed over!

Congrats to all of you getting off the wait list! How awesome! If you don’t mind, Would you please state whether you are in state or out of state, female or male, and if you sent any emails to your counselor after May 1st. Thanks!
I am guessing that most got off the wait list are OOS because the yield among the OOS is much lower than that among the instate due to the difference in tuition. Two my son’s classmates were accepted to GT from the wait list, one male and one female. We are in CT.
@sunbeams OOS male didn’t do anything

Thanks for the replies! GT is my son’s top choice in state school. He also qualifies for Zell Miller scholarships which means free tuition paid by State of GA. If he gets in GT, it would have been the best value school for a great education. Well well…
@sunbeams I’m a white male OOS and I did not contact my counselor after May 1st. I do hope your son gets in! Good luck to him!
@oklempay Thanks! He needs all the luck and prayers!
@sunbeams, My daughter also qualifies for Zell Miller, I have not heard any instate students getting off from waitlist so far. GA Tech is also her top choice. Good Luck to your son.
@sunbeams and@rchandra My son will also receive the Zell and has not heard anything yet. Good luck to both of your children. Hopefully they will start calling in state students soon. I have 2 other children so there was no way we could turn down the Zell.
@rchandra Your D probably has better chance than my S since GT is trying to admit more girls this year.
@wbsmall Thanks and good luck to your S too!
My S is accepted to UIUC and UT Austin (CoE for both) but there weren’t much scholarships offered so he is UGA bound so far due to Zell and is waiting daily for GT to call!
How about your children? Where are they committed to?
