<p>From GT admission facebook today, "We have 13,524 applications and are still working on loading the last few into our system. This is about a 13% increase over last year."</p>

<p>From early posts.</p>

<p>"By Nov 1st, we had about 6,900 applications and for all of the students who applied to GT by November 1st, (That's EN round 1 and EN round 2) we accepted a little fewer than 59% of the applicants. Less than 5% were denied and the remainder were deferred until March. If you were deferred, that does not mean that you won't be accepted in March. However, if DOES mean that we are going to be taking a closer look at your 1st semester grades, as well as the entire committee will be discussing your application again.
Remember, being deferred is NOT the same as being denied! Breathe deeply, and keep doing your best in school. Besides, if you are accepted to Georgia Tech, NO ONE is going to care whether you were admitted in December or March. Don't worry, Don't Stress! It will all work out for the best!"</p>

<p>This was after the Oct 1 decisions:</p>

<p>"Our Early Notification round was extremely competitive this year. With over 3900 applications, we are seeing a significant increase in applications compared to last fall. These students are also academically outstanding, with an average GPA of 3.79, average testing of 1996 and over three weighted courses. We accepted 56% of the applicants, and these students averages were 3.97 GPA, 2095 testing and almost 4 weighted courses. About 36% of applicants were deferred and will be reevaluated in our Regular Decision round to receive an admission decision in mid-March."</p>

<p>3.97!?!?!?</p>

<p>There goes my chances</p>

<p>If you read, the 3.97 is the GT GPA, not the UWGPA. Then again, if you assume 32 semester at the time of application, and 6 +0.5 weighted semester grades (as mentioned, an average of 3 classes per student and 2 semesters per class), that leads to a (very rough) 3.88 average accepted GPA.</p>

<p>But some schools ration the number of AP courses. I know at least one that allows only two courses junior year and only three senior year.</p>

6

<p>im getting so depressed… im going to have to go to UGA :(</p>

<p>So long GT. Looks like I was born one or two years too late.</p>

<p>So… where the form for GT’s mid-year reports? or do i just mail those in?</p>

10

<p>???you were supposed to get an email if you were deferred. They were due February 3.</p>

11

<p>Oh I didn’t apply early notification… can you only send mid-year reports if you got deferred? Like they don’t want it for regular decisions?</p>
