I don't understand why I did not get accepted

@bubbleberry I think the main reason you were rejected is because you deposited at Emory and you also deferred your enrollment. It is my understanding that deferral of your enrollment required the approval of the Dean of Admissions and that in your paperwork you had to indicate your plans for your gap year and the commitment that you will attend Emory in the Fall of 2016 Georgia Tech and Emory have a close relationship and it would not be in Georgia Tech’s interests to accept you when you have already deposited at Emory. In fact Emory could rescind your admission if they find out you are applying to other colleges especially since you filled out the gap year paperwork. Colleges can check enrollment data for students and I am sure yours would show that you deposited on Emory and that you are taking a gap year. You situation is not similar to where a student wants to transfer because you have not started classes. Plus if you read the requirements for a gap year at Emory, they are pretty strict.
