Alexyc Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi guys, I heard that GT sent out admissions on Feb.22 and Feb.26. Congradulations to those who have been admitted to this competitive program!!! I am wondering if the four tracks (IC/ID/PSY/LMC) send out admissions independently? If so, which track did you receive your admission from? Thanks & Congrats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind sharing a little bit of your background? Don't loose hope yet! According to the results page, they keep sending out decisions till like mid-March. I too started accepting that not hearing any news means I've been rejected but you never know. It's not over until it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GudduFML Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I messed up big time, i didn't realize that the web-hosting of my portfolio website got expired 2 weeks back and as a result my content was deleted. I updated it again few days back but i think it's too late, they have already reviewed my application now it seems. Just waiting for a reject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, portfolio may not be THAT important in reviewing an application: I know some people who got admitted to GT didn't submit portfolio, the committee looks at the whole package after all!

That would have been the case if i applied to IC or Psych track, but it was explicitly mentioned on their portal that for ID and LMC, portfolio plays a vital/decisive role ?

I agree with @Lavs that you still get the chance to "argue" -- maybe send them an e-mail explaining your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
