***Official Georgia Tech Class of 2019 EA Applicant Thread***

<p>What do y’all think acceptance rate for EA will be? For In-State? For OOS?</p>

<p>40-45% for EA. 50/50 split between IS and OOS. @predent</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Does tech want our 1st quarter grades? My grades aren’t bad, but I have 1 B and I’m not sure whether I should submit or not if it doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>I don’t think they ask for them.</p>

<p>@predent - I believe I’ve read somewhere before that GT is required to have in state admits of 51% or more.</p>

<p>@MichiganGeorgia‌
Thanks! As they’re a state school, seems fair. So maybe about 2200 from GA and 2200 from OOS?</p>

<p>Yup, it’s a state law for Georgia Taxpayers. </p>
