BME deferred (better than rejected after sleeping on it).
1460, CR1, 4.0GPA/4.8QPA, IB diploma, ECs, volunteer, etc. … and stronger than older sibling who is presently at GT.
Glass half full… was accepted EA to UVA last evening … make for a slightly positive weekend as UVA is a top 25 university, etc.
Similar situation here. Deferred by GT and admitted by UVA. Congrats to you! My D25 will complete the 150-word DSF.
There is no set in state/OOS. Waitlist pulls are based on demographics (do they need more OOS to make 30 percent target, do they need more mechanical engineers, do they need more females, etc). The 20 percent doesn’t sound too bad but all deferred students are academically at the very high admit level - vs the entire applicant pool - so still very competitive.
Good information. Thanks. How did you get this table? I tried to look for it but couldn’t figure out where to look.
That is from the Georgia Tech Fact book. Linked above.
My daughter’s best friend got deferred for CS. His stats were really good. 35 ACT, 1590 SAT, national merit, top 1% in school, decent ECs and awards. It was surprising to say the least
what is the CS acceptance rate for OOS?
Geez, I would think EC may not be as decent as your student think, otherwise, it is totally another bummer. She should get in the next round, stats better than my RD applicant.
Rejected for Business with 34 ACT (35 math/sci), 4.0/4.7, top 2% of competitive HS, maxed out rigor and available APs, good ECs and long work/leadership history and strong essays, female. GT was a top choice. Several classmates with lower stats were deferred.
Hate this.
Thank you very much for replying. 
My valedictorian with similar stats was also rejected for business
DS OOS deferred CS.
35ACT/1530 SAT
GPA 97% unweighted
15 AP (Calc AB/BC, Stats, Physics 1 and C, Compsci, etc) - all s 5s except for AP BIO and AP Human.
2 Real Internships, Band, etc.
Still waiting to hear from USC and UT (instate) - deferral. UGH.
Businesss is as competitive as engineering with a roughly 15 percent acceptance rate overall. OOS is lower. It is a very small program also. I would be curious to know the male/female breakdown for business. My guess is female applications are much higher so they do not receive the same application bump as they would for engineering
My daughter had similar stats for CS and was outright rejected whereas she is getting full ride offers elsewhere
My D has almost similar stats, except in place of band she is in ROTC(Commanding officer). I think apart from the stats you mentioned UT likes awards and GT looks at community service from what I understood. He seems like a competitive student, good luck for both!
My OOS son was accepted to materials science engineering, 3.9 uw/4/5 w 1580. This is his first choice and we are thrilled!
Hi, my DD got acceptance in EA1 in Bio Chem track and wondering if anyone here has DD or DS applied for Bio chemistry in GTech.
DD OOS deferred MechE. 1590, 4.0/4.9, 13 AP+, NMSF/USPSN, 300 service hours, good ECs and essays.
Congratulations! My GT kids (sophomore and 2023 graduate) have loved every minute of it. They worked hard but they also had lots of fun - and we have been so impressed with the doors GT has opened for them. Sophomore is currently doing an internship this spring in supply chain and has a co-op starting in the fall in software consulting (IE major). Graduate CivE major did internships in estimating, project management and consulting x2 and ended up in consulting. They both pledged fraternities, joined clubs, studied abroad, did research, got involved on campus, went to every football game, played IM sports, kept grades way up and made the most of it!
This is great to hear, so great they did so much while being in such demanding majors. Thank you!
