On Saturday, 5,273 young men and women around the world heard a different kind of “good word” from Georgia Tech: They have been accepted to the next freshman class of Yellow Jackets.
The admitted freshmen span all 50 states and 40 countries, plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.
Applications for the Early Action admission period totaled 11,702, a slight decrease from last year, yet more were admitted, and the class has a higher academic profile.
“It doesn’t really matter how many applications you get — you want the right class,” said Rick Clark, director of Undergraduate Admission.
