<p>My son's admission was denied for Fall 2011. A friend of mine told me that he can appeal the decision. Has anyone ever heard of that? Do you know what the process is?</p>
<p>Sorry for your son. Here is what is written on the admission buzz of the admission office facebook.</p>
<p>"Denied:
This decision is the toughest one for us to make and, no doubt, the toughest one for you to receive. I want to first address some common questions we get from denied students, and then offer you some encouragement for the future.</p>
<p>One of the first questions I get from students denied in an early round is whether or not they can reapply for a future round. The answer is no, as we use the same admission criteria for all rounds, and students cannot apply more than once for the same class. Next, students want to know if they can appeal their decision. We do accept appeals in writing, but I would strongly suggest that you speak with your admission counselor (visit [Georgia</a> Institute of Technology :: Undergraduate Admission :: Counselor Map](<a href=“Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission”>Blow the Whistle! (404 error: page not found) | Undergraduate Admission)) before choosing this option. It is extremely rare for us to change an admission decision on appeal, but your admission counselor can talk to you more thoroughly about this option.</p>
<p>Finally, I want to mention that there are many ways to graduate from Georgia Tech. We have more and more students entering Georgia Tech as transfer students each year through our partnership programs, dual degree programs or traditional transfer routes. You are eligible to apply as a transfer student once you have 30 transferable hours.

<p>Sorry to hear that, LoriAg. It may be the best; those decisions were surely very carefully considered. They just looked at 4,500 files, so maybe they are expert in how he compares, though you are expert on your son? There are other ways into GT, so this gives your son encouragement to look elsewhere as the place to start. If he still wants GT after that, he can transfer in, and still graduate as a yellow jacket.</p>
