All First-year applicants will apply using the Common Application which will open for submission to Georgia Tech on August 1.

All deadlines are 11:59 p.m. in your time zone (for example, a student who lives in Georgia must submit their application by Oct. 18 at 11:59 p.m. EDT).

*Documents (transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.) must be sent by the deadline listed above. 

Early Action

Students who wish to be considered for academic scholarships, such as the Stamps President's Scholars Program, Scheller Dean's Scholarship and others, apply in an Early Action round (depending on Georgia status). No separate scholarship application is required.

The Early Action application date is non-binding, and the application and evaluation is the same as for Regular Decision.

Early Action 1

This application deadline is reserved for Georgia students, defined by those who attend a Georgia high school or Georgia residents living outside the state. 

Early Action 2

This application deadline is reserved for non-Georgia students who wish to be evaluated in an early action round, defined by those who attend a high school outside Georgia (including international) and are not Georgia residents.

Regular Decision

This is the last date to apply for first-year admission for the following summer/fall term. The application and evaluation is the same as for Early Action.

Application Fee

The 2021 non-refundable first-year application fee is $75 (international applicants: $85). Students who pay an application fee but do not submit an application will not have their fee refunded.

Fee Waivers

If you feel that your financial circumstances might qualify you for an application fee waiver, you can request a fee waiver in the Common App fee waiver section in the profile section. Your school counselor will be asked to complete a fee waiver form to affirm your request for a fee waiver.

• You have received or are eligible to receive an ACT or SAT testing fee waiver
• You are enrolled in or eligible to participate in the federal free or reduced price lunch program (FRPL)
