My DS received acceptance from the waitlist for Aerospace Engineering.
Congratulations @blrhur. That’s so awesome and so soon! Just curious, was he a Georgia resident?
@blrhur wow, that’s amazing! congratulations! Did they email him? Does this mean whoever didn’t receive any notification are rejected? At least now I can stop thinking about gt and commit somewhere else.
@Waitlistedparent, @hp1011802. Thank you! We are OOS, received email notification followed by the portal updated.
congratulations! Was the email from OFAS? And could you specifically tell what it said? Thank you!
I’m surprised no one else on this thread has gotten off the waitlist. Also, it says you have to accept your waitlist spot by April 6th, I wonder why they decided before everyone even had a chance to accept their spot. I guess since they admitted more people this year, they didn’t really need their waitlist.
@Ellamarie, my DS just admission acceptance on Friday. The financial aid portal on Oscar is yet to be updated with the award letter. We have to accept the offer by May 1st.
Last year they took people off the waitlist over at least a month period. So, this doesn’t mean the waitlist is closed yet.
@blrhur…did you have any hint you may be accepted? Any emails from financial aid, bursar, etc.
@Ellamarie. No emails from financial aid or bursar. But the “pay now” button showed up on Oscar.
If this is true. That sucks for my DS.
This is wrong info. Since GaTech has a lot of programs for guaranteed transfer, if you do not fall under guaranteed transfer umbrella you have almost zero chances.
Guaranteed transfers take almost all available spots.
I mean with perfect GPA and whatnot also?
Quick Q. My DS is waitlisted , if he couldn’t get into FALL then they might give him summer or conditional transfer or they will just not say anything because summer and conditional transfer is already full by now?? I am so confused.
I don’t know whom to ask this question.
From what I gather, very few students have been pulled off the waitlist so far. Last year the first big wave was around April 18th.
I thought it will be after MAY 1st because many students will make a decision that day.
Unfortunately yes. I do not know what is going on with waitlisted students. I believe once they are not selected, it is like rejected.
However, GaTech sent some students guaranteed transfer even during EA. There is also guaranteed transfer from several local colleges and for legacy students.
Google GaTech Transfer pathway programs. You will understand that with current 7 pathway programs it will be almost impossible to transfer for anybody else.
We have experience in family with local Georgia student denied transfer with GPA 4.0 outside of pathway (GSU to GaTech with all required classes taken.)

OMG that is so sad. All our hopes went out of the window.
Everything is in god’s hands now.
@tenseMom read my suggestion to you in Berkeley forum.
I hope it will help. 25 years ago you could transfer from GSU to GaTech without any problems. Unfortunately time changed.
Does anyone on the waitlist ever receive conditional transfers?
