I only took 1 AP because my school messed up my schedule A LOT! They only offer like 5 APs anyways.</p>
<p>I am trying to be optimistic and thinking that it may be because we were “overqualified” but I know that’s not true at all. I know Georgia Tech accepts quite a few of their waitlisted applicants so if I get rejected by all of my other colleges, I might accept the waiting list spot.</p>
<p>Well the reason why I don’t take any AP class is because my school doesn’t offer any. I suppose Tech is aware of that.</p>
<p>I think you should accept the spot on waiting list asap, better do it now than leave it till later.</p>
<p>What is going on with the summer session requirement? A friend of mine just got his acceptance but it says he must attend summer school. Why do they do this? Is this for the people who were borderline accept/deny and this is the way they prove their dedication?</p>
<p>In my letter of acceptance, it states I should attend summer session starting from mid June.</p>
<p>I just emailed Tech asking about the summer session as well. I applied for Fall and got accepted into fall freshman class, not summer for god’s damn sake. My precious summer…</p>
<p>Where did you guys see the message asking you to attend summer sessions?</p>
<p>EDIT: Found it, they offered me admission to Fall session. Sounds like if you haven’t taken a lot of APs they are offering this since they might feel you need some adjustment between honors and college classes. (For reference I took 5 AP’s before I applied and this may I’m taking 6-7 more exams.)</p>
<p>Look at your acceptance letter. At bottom it says:
“The freshman summer term, also known as the Late Short Summer Session, gets started with FASET orientation in mid-June.”</p>
<p>Does anyone know how students are selected from the wait list, if or when spots open up?</p>
<p>I don’t have the summer term thing at the bottom of my letter. Is that the only place they tell you?</p>
<p>Don’t have it either.</p>

<p>Freshman that start in the summer are not included as part of the “Fall Incoming Freshman” statistics. So if you have low scores but somehow demonstrated an ability to possibly succeed at Tech, they offer this.</p>
<p>Guys a little help please :)</p>
<p>My acceptance letter cannot be generated ,it is giving my an error.
If in Application View my term is listed as Fall 2012 ,does it mean i ll attend Gatech by fall,or do i have to check my letter to find out if i was offered a summer session ?</p>
<p>it is not generating the acceptance letter … . </p>
<p>please help if you have been able to generate yours!</p>
<p>It seems like they’re being especially selective this year. I can’t believe in-staters with 2k+ SAT scores are getting denied/wait-listed. Wasn’t the median SAT last year only 1950?</p>
<p>Denied</p>
<p>In State:</p>
<p>WGPA: 3.7
3.4 Unweighted</p>
<p>All A’s or B’s</p>
<p>7 AP’s</p>
<p>34 ACT: 35 Math, 33 English</p>
<p>I’m surprised I wasn’t wait-listed the least. Oh well.</p>
<p>I have recently seen articles that are saying some state schools across the country are starting to favor out of state students since they generate additional revenue for the school because of the out of state tuition cost.</p>
<p>Wow, that’s very surprising given those stats and activities.</p>
<p>I am sure your son will go on to bigger and brighter things at another great school.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>GT does not consider in-state or out-of-state status when making an acceptance decision.</p>
<p>I have 8 RD decisions left, including MIT on Wednesday. I would be honored to give my spot up to one of you waitlisters.</p>
