Calling Scheller (Georgia Tech) Applicants:(2017 Intake) Class of 2019

Hi
I got interviewed by the Admissions Director on 22nd Nov and now have received an email requesting me to appear for another interview with the Director of the Career Services.

Did this happen with anyone else here? What could it possibly mean?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Hey, i believe someone on this forum had a similar situation. I think everyone HAS to be interviewed by a representative from Career Services. In my opinion, maybe due to some circumstances, there was no one to interview you from Career services the first time and thats why the second interview. I wouldn't worry about it. Just prepare for it the same way you did for the first interview. Just make sure that you're aware of the scope of your goals and also narrow down companies that you hope to target. Good Luck!

I just got a mail titled "GT MBA decision available" however in the mail it is written that I would get the decision by today evening. Anybody got a similar email?

The decision is already available. Check your status.

My application status says "Dept. Decision made" which means that the decision is made but has not been informed yet. Is there anything else to check?

I got the same mail but my decision letter was already on the portal.

how did you access it? Can you please guide? The mail says "Click where it shows "Georgia Tech Graduate Online Admission Form" for the term you applied for" but it's not clickable.

I checked my status here. (https://shibboleth-idp.collegenet.com/i ... erPassword)

The decision letter was right above the application checklist.

Ok. Thanks. Then I think I'm yet to be informed about the decision, as I see no such button or text anywhere. Did you also receive an email with the decision?

Rejected.... goddamit

Has anyone who was accepted heard anything about merit aid or assistantships or anything?

Yeah if you scroll up a couple posts you'll see where I said that they offered me admission alongside a fellowship. I just received my official fellowship letter today over email.



I am very sorry to hear that. I see on your profile you've also received unfavorable news from other programs. Your GMAT score seems to be above average though, where do you think the ADCOM is dinging you?

My job experience is a bit fragmented, many jobs. They did ask me specifically for this and the answer may not been satisfying. Also I spent some periods unemployed due to my country´s crisis

that's awesome -- congrats. Forgive my ignorance, but what's the difference between a fellowship and a graduate assistantship? I know GAs have a work requirement, but is the amount of aid the same?

I'm very surprised that that might be a reason for a ding. That seems like one of the more legitimate reasons for spotty work experience. If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about addressing it in your essays? My academic record is just north of a disaster. Bad grades, irrelevant major and extremely sporadic performance. I used as much of the optional essay to state outright that I had no excuse and expressed that my immaturity was to blame for my grades. I knew beforehand that ADCOMs don't like to see excuses, so maybe if you reapply next year, try to show this was one of the few REAL and legitimate excuses?



Thank you! And I'm still kind of new to this as well, but from my understanding a fellowship has no stipulations other than maintaining a certain GPA while a GA requires employment within the school or university. Not sure the amounts either. I've heard (unofficially) that GA's tend to net more with the combination of stipend for the work and discounted tuition.
