TTPB: I guess it is just for PhD admission. I am not sure. 30-40 ppl have attended the open house event

If is also true for the MS applicants or for the Ph.D.'s only

In open house virtual event, we were told that all the selected students (nominated by Profs for admission) have received the invite. If you haven't heard back from GeorgiaTech yet, I think the chances of admission are slim.

Applied with 4 letters of rec, 2 research experiences, 3 internships, and 3 senior design project experiences. Delighted to get in!

Has anyone got a decision from the Ph.D. program? Is an interview mandatory before getting admitted to the program?

3 years of research, 2 first-authored conference papers, 2 Bachelor's degrees (Physics and Astronomy), 2 strong LoRs, Masters program in progress, 3 journal papers close to submission.

Reached out to several faculty in late February, one notified me that decisions had already been finalized and that those not admitted had been rejected. Caltech doesn't deign to send decision letters to peasants! Anyhow, congrats to those admitted :)

1 full year of work experience as engineer after graduating with degrees in physics and economics

TTPBs: I totally agree with you guys. This institution seems so rude. Just releasing a bunch of "false" acceptance without any responsibility, they're sitting in front of us and seeing how funny we find our advisor.

TTPB: I still can't understand why they give us false hope. What is the purpose? "Recommended to be accepted" is indeed a wired situation.

TTPB: No interview/reply after emailing 4 POIs. I think it is rare for a private university to offer admission without any interview... So maybe the rejection is on the way...

Does anybody know when are they going to announce the decisions for Ph.D. - Mechanical and Aerospace Department ?

No interview/reply after emailing 2 POIs in January, just got email to check status and my first acceptance after 5 rejections! Zero mention of funding though- letter says if I am being considered for funding then my department will tell me. Also zero mention of when I have to accept by? Think this letter is from the central grad admissions people and it refers to a letter my department will send me (soon please- I'm dying in limbo). Will have to wait on the Aerospace department to give info.

TTPB: Would you mind sharing where you find this information that there are more than a hundred students who were recommended to be accepted, and there are under 10 opened remaining position? I got the same email saying that "you are recommended to be accepted. But before you can be admitted, you must find an advisor....."

I hate this school. They said I'm admitted to the department, but I have to find my advisor. The problem is, there are quite slim opened remaining position (may be under 10), and there are more than a hundred students like me. Why do they recommend me to the department even though there are few positions? False Hope

Received acceptance with no funding. Internships at NASA Ames and NASA JSC. From a pretty unknown state school. Experience working on small-sats. Did not submit GRE. Good LORs.

Reached out to multiple faculty members and had some interviews. One was quite excited and asked me to reach out again when admitted. Rejection comes as slight surprise, but it's been a very competitive year! Context: 2 undergrad research labs, 0 pubs, 3 internships including Northrop Grumman, 3 senior design projects.
