<p>@GTalum1990 I knew something was fishy! They lied to you. In their recent tweet they said this year 1100 girls enrolled and that apparently is 38% of the class. Well using simple algebra, you can tell that GA Tech easily over-enrolled today with more than 2800 people submitting deposits. Sure… they are still processing the waitlist. liars! </p>
<p>@agg999 Wow, really helpful information and analysis.</p>
<p>unless GA Tech lied on the stats too. no wonder they offered admission to URMs and LOTS of girls 1 week before the deadline. the never did this before.</p>
<p>@agg999 I read that blog last night which says something like 1,100 girls have already enrolled and that comprises 38% of the freshman class. They could have made that statement knowing approximate size of the final class. But they didn’t mention anywhere about total enrollment till date. I am still hopeful that my daughter gets in, but again it is a very long shot at this time. Good luck.</p>
<p>Well they are not saying anything about the waitlist. With 1100 girls enrolled (which they say is 38% of the class), GA Tech has over 2800+ students who deposited. Pretty sure their target is 2750 or so. So, they definitely over enrolled. Why would they increase their target number this year?</p>
<p>The AJC says MORE than 1100 girls put down deposits. Some one on reddit says it’s 1180 but I’m not sure where they got that number from. The AJC also said:</p>
<p>"The increase in female students is also the result of a multi-pronged outreach program. Georgia Tech leaders hand-delivered acceptance letters to girls at high school throughout metro Atlanta. We also mailed about 1,000 specially designed pink sunglasses to admitted female students in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina to encourage them to set their sights on Tech.</p>
<p>Admissions also invited prospective female students to football, basketball and volleyball games; online chat sessions; special lunches and coffees; overnight programs and other events designed to introduce girls to the campus and other women at Tech."</p>
<p>So if they increased their target it probably was to help the ratio.</p>
<p>Just checked the buzzport. Status now changed to “Class full - waitlist closed”. If you have not heard from them by now, that means you did not get it. It is nice sharing information with all of you. Good luck with your second choice.</p>
<p>knew it. GA Tech went all girl-frenzy this year. no offense to anyone. just frustrated. boo common app!</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My son just got an email saying that the waitlist is now closed and he didn’t get in. He applied for Computer Science.</p>
<p>Looks like he’ll end up at either UW-Seattle or UW-Madison. If anyone of you are going there well, hope to see y’all there.</p>
<p>Congrats to all those who got in.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
