Hi, if you not mind, can you share your stats please? Thank You

[@manjooku]

Future seniors applying, don't stress yourself too much, college admissions are holistic, which might work in ur favor. I got a 1200 SAT, applied RD without realizing that SAT was required (I only realized after I applied), I decided to just be honest and submit my SAT and on March 25th morning... I got in!!! Cute bees raining down my acceptance letter which was soooo cute :') I'm glad Georgia Tech saw past my low SAT score!

Got waitlisted and went somewhere else but it was for the best tbh I have friends at GT now and they all hate it there

[@shalomiarulpragasam2778]

This gives me hope!!! I got into GT as a summer transfer for aerospace!

[@oscar-ko8qg]

I just came across your gt videos and I applied EA with a1040 SAT score definitely knowing I would be denied, but then in December of 2021 I got deferred, which was a surprise because I expected to be denied. Then March 5, 2022, came along and I was so anxious so at 12:05 PM I went and opened up my decision and BAM I GOT IN! The yellow jackets began raining down the screen, just like my tears. I was so happy and I'm proud to say that I've committed and FASET is now like 16 days away and I'm anxious but very excited, I also will be starting this summer so I'll be there most of my summer but I'll be commuting, then staying in the dorms in the Fall but IM BEYOND HYPED for not just starting this summer but moving in, in August! So for anyone considering whether you should apply, YES APPLY! even if you think you'd never get in because your SAT score is too low :) GO JACKETS! edit: by the way, I chose GT over UGA

[@d1g116]

did you have a lot of extracurriculars? i want to attend gt but i’m afraid my lack of impressive extracurriculars or just basic extracurriculars in general will hold me back 😭

[@monishamajumder3997]

Aww you’re so lucky... I had 1050 sat but didn’t get into GT😭

[@asherlagyak1524]

I just got denied for dual enrollment with GT, hoping to get in as a first-year this October!

[@oscar-ko8qg]

@@d1g116 honestly I would say I did have basic extracurriculars but GT really cares about you focusing on your interests rather than doing a little bit of everything. So for your EC's I recommend like following a theme/ concentrating on listing EC's that are related, and what worked for me was literally telling them in the section where you can put extra comments that you would commit 100% if you were accepted

hi! first off, amazing video-- i really appreciate all of the details! I am an in-state student for c/o 2021 and im really hoping to apply to gt as a biochem major. could you elaborate on why you switched out of biochem? also, is there a specific premed track at gt? thank u sm!!

[@doeeunme]

thank you so much!! i just thought bio would be a better fit for me since i enjoyed the subject in high school and wasn’t really a fan of chem 😅 also there is a pre-health concentration at tech! if you add this to your degree, you will be given access to the pre-health canvas portal that which contains a ton of helpful links and advice for pre-health students! hope this helps!

[@ManningGolf]

I thought I was going to UGA but i just got accepted to tech. Nearly all my friends will go to UGA. Should I be concerned about making friends at Georgia Tech? And is there a good gym at Georgia Tech because I like to stay fit? awesome video btw

[@doeeunme]

Nate Manning aw congrats on your acceptance!!! no not at all. tech's freshman orientation FAFSA gives u a chance to meet lots of new people. some of my current friends are people i met there in the summer. there are also tons of events and gatherings especially during the first semester so i would say it pretty simple and easy to make friends here! but in the end it's up to u to reach out and maintain the connections. the CRC (campus recreation center) on west campus has a super nice gym that you'll have access to year round with your buzzcard. if you live on the east side there are treadmills at the GT connector u can use too. tech is really what u make of it. if u set a solid schedule and surround yourself with friends you vibe with, you'll thrive here. good luck!

[@ManningGolf]

@@doeeunme Thank you so much for your input! I will definitely take all of this into consideration. I have a feeling Tech is my best option :)

[@wisemillennial5839]

Welcome to Tech!

[@morgannorris3168]

Could you explain the different GPA types. My schools weighted is out of 6, but here you said for you it was out of 5. Also my school does 4 for and A, 3 for a B, and so forth for unweighted. What GPA is it that Tech, and other schools, use for applications? I’m just confused on what the different GPAs are and can’t find a comprehensive answer

[@doeeunme]

wow i've never heard of weighted GPAs out of 6? that's interesting. from my experience, colleges generally take out of the 4 scale and if available, they take your weighted GPA out of 5. i think you have the option to choose whatever GPA scale you had at your school, but not sure about out of 6. you should probably email or call them to make sure!

[@emilyzhang1863]

Hiiii! I just got in GT, major in Bio! I really wanna try pre med, and I just wanna know is the bio major good in GT( seems like EVERYONE's in CS and Engineering ), and if it is a good place for premed.

[@doeeunme]

Emily Zhang hey congrats on your acceptance!!☺️ yep a ton of people are engineers but there are a lot of premeds with science majors here! i personally think the bio major is great especially for premed since it essentially has all the pre recs for med school built-in. there's also a lot of medically related ec's all around campus/super helpful premed advisers so you won't run dry of resources!

[@manasaprasad1616]

What about majoring in Neuro at GT? Does that major have prereqs for Medschool? BTW This video was absolutely helpful please do more vids like these!! :)

[@frostedorange2737]

I'm 20+ yrs removed from graduating from GT. I majored in ME before going to medschool. I'd suggest majoring in what you enjoy and don't worry about "premed". You can have your advisor work in your med school prerequisites into your undergrad program. Enjoy!

[@asherlagyak1524]

I have been doing pilot training for about 5 years now almost about to get my private pilot's license. I want to go to the aerospace engineering program at GT. I have 3.9 gpa, and 1340 SAT right now. Taking the SAT again this august but not taking the reading section, shooting for 800 math. Im doing dual enrollment with georgia state this year. Do you think I have a good chance of getting in when I apply this october?

[@doeeunme]

you have a great shot in terms of GPA and the length of pilot training you’ve done really shows that you’re passionate about it! do you have any extracurricular activities that reflect your pilot training experience? also be sure to highlight what you’re excited for that GT has to offer in your application

This is soo crazy, I was just messaging in the GT group chat for people who were accepted today and then I see this! Thank you so much for your tips, I’m sure a lot of people were equally grateful for your commentary.

[@doeeunme]

World History With Dan i actually don't know anything about bioinformatics or its career track. i recommend you searching through the georgia tech website i'm sure they will have plenty of info there! bioinformatics.gatech.edu

[@johnbagel2560]

Hannah Shin I heard from a past alumni from Stanford (went for his undergrad) and GT (masters in computer science) that the computer science courses are essentially comparable in regards to both rigor and value. He essentially said that GT is Stanford in all but name. Although it might be a bit different for undergrad bc GT does rank better for its masters degrees than it does for it’s undergrad. In either case, it shows that getting a masters in bioinformatics holds high prospects.

[@doeeunme]

World History With Dan i really appreciate it! so glad i can help. i totally agree with you that a masters degree here holds high prospects. GT is no doubt a highly regarded school and i want to say congrats to everyone who made it in😊

I want to go to Georgia Tech but my grades aren’t that great compared to my classmates. In both my freshman and junior year I struggled with depression and deaths in my family and it really sapped my motivation to do schoolwork. I’m going to take the SAT and ACT multiple times to get the best scores I can but I’m worried that my GPA will get me rejected. I also am going to take a gap year and live with family in Georgia to establish residency. Do you think I have any chance of getting in?

[@cynthiasaavedra2475]

I'd say to have a good chance you'd need to score in the 33+ for the ACT. You're GPA is very important so I would suggest trying hard to get it as high as possible. You'll also have to have some type of extra-curricular. You don't need like 8 or 9, but at least 1 that you have been doing for a good amount of time. On the good side, applying as a resident will probably help your chances of getting in. I'll be applying from out of state, so it will reduce my chances, but I am going to go for it and hope for the best.
