Oh wow that's quite a high number that means they aren't much seats for fall 2025. Praying for the best

81 seats have been filled for fall 2025 entry this year till now. for the last 2 years a total of 139 were accepted for fall entry.

If I remember right from the last session, they said they had overfilled seats last year and were looking to cap at 60-65 students this year. If 38 have enrolled, that’d leave around 22-27 seats left

 

[chikitos]

and do we have any stats on waitlist getting upgraded to Accepted ? or what percentage of applicants got waitlist previous years?

 

[hlios_ryu]

Waitlists have been updated on the tracker so it’s a little difficult to figure that out, but based on the result dates - there are a couple of people from last year who had applied in December and ended up being accepted in late April; so I’m assuming they did end up being picked in the final round.

Some trackers will show the date of waitlisted and the date where it turns to Accepted. The status updates are at the bottom of the tracker.
This is only if members update their trackers in stages, from Pending, to Waitlisted and then Accepted when they get an update.
If someone add the trackers and enter the Accepted result, the Waitlisted stage will not be recorded.
Here is an example.

I had attended their admission session , and they told they will cap it at 50 or lesser this year.

Yes. They told that they'll prioritise admission in spring semester. So one should be ready to get admit to spring 2026 rather than fall 2025 even if they are admitted.

Is it really worth waiting for the GT result, given that they are going to release it on May 1st? I already have an admit from NCSU, and by that time, I need to start working on my loan and visa

So are they waitlisting people for fall 2025 or spring 2026

Got the mail from Laura today morning informing that I have been accepted for Fall 2025. I had left all hopes for Georgia Tech. Have no structured experience in programming, just did fun projects in Python.

So happy for you. Finally!
Were you put on a waitlist? If so, you can add them to the Tracker detail to help future applicants to reduce their anxiety
It's time to get serious about programming. Take the C++ course or Python course and get those interview books ready.

Thank Andy. I wasn't on the waitlist. I was waiting for the decision and was mentally ready to get dinged. You are right, I will have to seriously learn programming. Will devote the next few months in learning C++ and get a command in Python.
