Aight im outa here. Been waiting way too long on this waitlist and at this point even if I did get in im not even going. As of now im heading to UIUC for ECE so i guess im not all too bummed out. Am tired of being trudged for months now with radio silence on the frontlines. I figured at least with the stats i have id have some sorta shot into ECE from TX. Getting pissed off the more i think about how each wave i didnt even get a the chance. I just realized my angst at this waitlist has been going after a brand name university (since there’s hardly anyone i know whose heard of UIUC), which is what will get the average guy off the street to grovel at ure brains or something like that. But considering GT is gonna prolly be the new hotspot for this god forsaken virus (no mask mandates/social distancing) id figure a top tier college doesnt guarantee a top tier level of knowledge. Anyway im signing myself off this thread and off the waitlist. Good luck to the rest of yall and stay safe during this pandemic.

@jewishWookie , that’s a very competitive resume you got here. I am surprised you did get in the first place. But UIUC is just as good, or in some perspective, better. Unfortunately, I got rejected from UIUC; otherwise, I’d like to be your alumni.
Just called GT admissions office and was told that the waitlist is still open, and they don’t know when they will close it. They also informed me that today was the last day for deferred people to make a choice so they may pull a few people off the waitlist soon.
While I doubt it will make a difference in your decision to wait, but GT has definitely instituted maditory masks and social distancing. Unfortunately they are at the mercy of the University System of Georgia and at first masks weren’t mandated, but after push back they did make them required.
Hi, I just joined this group. My daughter too got the email that hse is accepted to GT. The email does not show which major. But, she applied to CS . CAn we assume that she got into CS. Just wondering becuase the email does not say CS major. Congrats to all and Best of luck to all who are yet to receive an update. Thanks.
@dreamZZZSSSS Once you get into Tech you fill out this major confirmation form to declare your major. You can select any major minus music technology, so even if you didn’t get into Tech for CS, you can still use the form to declare your major as CS.
Happy for you @tenseMom! The persistence and faith you had deserves the reward.
My Son got off the WL a month ago as you may know. I am in ATL today and he moved in yesterday. He’s joined CMPE with a open mind about CS as well. Hope your faith continues as one of those 1k Gods delivered it for you as it did for me
