<p>Why Georgia Tech why? Why you shift the decision date back??
That’s just gonna be 1 month of anxiety all over again</p>

<p>Dude, it’s barely like two more weeks. There’s nothing to do after you click submit. Just enjoy your holidays and winter break!</p>

<p>Jan 4 - Dec 2 , thats roughly 1 month</p>

<p>PS - I come from India, we have our Pre-Boards 1 (exams) in December and then we got are Pre-Boards 2 back to back in Januaryso just can’t enjoy my holidays.</p>

<p>PS - we don’t get holidays.</p>

<p>and then after these 2 exams, we have our final term exams from March 1.</p>

<p>I meant from the projected decision date Dec. 21st to the new date January 4th!</p>

<p>Best Wishes on your Exams! You can do it!</p>

<p>January 4th??? I don’t think I can wait that long</p>

<p>@kalicheer - no-one can, but we have to.</p>

<p>Tech posted the following on their admission’s facebook page:</p>

<p>Early Action decision release update: Students with a complete application will receive a decision via email on Saturday, January 4, 2014 between 12:00 p.m. EST and 5:00 p.m. EST. Please check your email account during that time for your decision.</p>

<p>If my memory is correct I believe in past years all applicants logged onto buzzport at the same time. This year it looks like they have changed it and it will not be email notification between a 5 hour period. This should prevent the system from crashing.</p>

<p>Does the email go to your regular email account or to the one they set up for you when you made your GeorgiaTech/Buzzport account?</p>

<p>It’s posted in the Application Quick View. The status will change from “File Under Review” to Accepted,Deferred, or Denied. An email will be sent to the Buzzport inbox as well as to your regular email account(gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc)</p>

<p>I received an email saying that since I am an Early Action applicant, I will be reviewed for consideration for the President’s Scholarship Program. Do they send it to all Early action applicants? Did anybody else receive the scholarship?</p>

<p>But I am so confused. Isn’t President’s Scholarship Program applies only to the students from USA? I am an international student.</p>

<p>I got an email saying the decision will be out on 8th Jan instead of 4th. Did anyone else get this mail?</p>

<p>The decision for admission will be on the 4th, but the decision for the president’s scholarship is on the 8th.</p>

<p>Every early decision applicant received the president’s scholar email. You will know whether or not you were accepted to GA Tech on Jan. 4th, and you will find out if you’re a semi finalist for the scholarship on the 8th. Semi finalists then move on to the next round, where you fill out applications, write essays, and have interviews.</p>

<p>Early Action* my mistake</p>

<p>Are the people on college confidential usually at the top percentile of the application pool, or are they the average candidate?</p>

<p>I would say most of the students that actually post their stats are actually in the Upper Tier of whatever school they’re applying for.</p>

<p>I definitely hope so haha</p>
