I called them, they said its nothing to worry about.
^(not talking about @shaversack’s comment)
@shaversack, when I press Setup, I don’t see something that says “Other”
click “turn on drop and drag” and then you will see a lot of options
@shaversack, got it. I think its just a default page. If you’re accepted, they’ll make that page the homepage for you.
Wait, now when I log out and log back in, it still has that as the homepage. I’m confused now. Hope this means I was accepted!
I saw it too! It has “my courses” and everything else GT. But once I logged out and logged back in, it was gone.
I see it as well! But I know I shouldn’t get too excited after what happened with JHU and Fordham last year.
Edit: Logged out and logged in again. It’s still there. I think the “Georgia Tech welcomes you” could just be a default acceptance tab like someone said because my status still says “File under review”.
Edit 2: I just “reverted to default layout” and it’s gone. Sigh.
Edit 3: Yeah it doesn’t mean anything unfortunately. I just clicked on the “Waitlisted Transfer” and “Accepted Graduate” options and those tabs showed up as well. ):
You guys are playing with my life. I just looked too and say the Congrajulations! You Accepted! Thing do you guys really think that means nothing because I really got happy for a second?
Here’s what it says:
"Congratulations! We are thrilled to offer you admission to Georgia Tech and hope you will consider joining our freshman class. We look forward to working with you in the months ahead as you weigh your college options.
As you can see, your BuzzPort layout has changed to reflect your acceptance, and we encourage you to visit here often for updated information.
We hope you will come visit us soon and we encourage you to join the Class of 2019 Facebook page to get to know your classmates.
Go Jackets!

@nagintapls that’s good news. I looked at what you were talking about and I am classified as regular applicant.
@NIHHIHH yeah I think it means nothing. I’m an out of stater with ACT scores below their average and it’s on my account too.
Did Ga Tech just start using Common App this year, or was it available in previous years as well?
@Filbyy
They started using it last year.
@Enthouse So can we expect the admission rate for this year to be similar to last year’s?
They took it down now. So is it safe to say it was real? or no?
guys where are you seeing the setup tab?
My three tabs are personal info, student services, and admission
nvm, i found it now
@NIHHIHH where did you see that? Is it still there or was it removed??
They took it down, and we can’t access it anymore.
@Filbyy
Someone here said that it might be higher actually because fewer people will apply. Unfortunately I didn’t ask for the logic behind that. I think it will probably be similar.
@coocoo4curry
Its definitely NOT real. Even the graduate and transfer admission tabs show up if you click on them. -_-
