First-Year Admission Deadlines
Georgia Tech exclusively uses the Common Application for all first-year applicants. You may create a Common App account at any time during your high school career in order to learn more about the process. We will begin accepting application submissions on August 1 of your senior year.
At Georgia Tech we admit students for both the Summer and Fall Academic Terms, and ALL applicants will be considered for both terms. Students who are admitted to Georgia Tech will see their start term listed on their admission notification.
| Application Plan | 2026 Application Deadline | Document Deadline | Self-Reported Test Score Deadline | Decision Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Action 1 Georgia Students Only | October 15 | October 31 | November 15 | December 5 |
| Early Action 2 Non-Georgia Students Only | November 3 | November 17 | January 6 | January 30 |
| Regular Decision | January 5 | January 23 | January 23 | Georgia: March 6 Non-Georgia: March 27 |
Please note: All deadlines are 11:59 p.m. in your time zone (for example, a student who lives in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, must submit their application by 11:59 p.m. ET).
The document deadline is for additional submissions outside of your Common Application. These documents could include school reports, transcripts, recommendations or any other required school information. Self-reported test scores should be submitted by the dates above. To learn more about how we consider testing in the admission process, please see more details on our standardized tests page.
Early Action Deadlines
An Early Action application to Georgia Tech is non-binding. The application review process is the same in both Early Action and Regular Decision plans.
- Early Action 1 – This application deadline is for Georgia students. Applications from students who attend a Georgia high school or Georgia residents living outside the state.
- Early Action 2 – This application deadline is for non-Georgia students. Applications from students who attend a high school outside Georgia (including international) and are not Georgia residents are eligible for the Early Action 2 plan.
Students who wish to be considered for academic scholarships, such as the Stamps President's Scholars Program, Scheller Dean's Scholarship and others, must apply by the appropriate Early Action deadline listed above. No separate scholarship application is required.
Students with incomplete Early Action files may complete their application and be considered for admission in Regular Decision. Applications not completed by the document and self-reported test score deadline for Regular Decision will be closed.
Regular Decision Deadline
This is the last date to apply for first-year admission. As noted, the application review process is the same in both Early Action and Regular Decision plans.
Complete Applications
A complete application will include:
- Common Application.
- Transcript(s) with 9-12th courses listed and 9-11th grades visible. Students who are deferred or apply Regular Decision are required to submit an updated transcript with Fall term senior grades.
- Self-reported or official SAT/ACT scores.
- Additional documents requested via your admission portal.
Transcripts
Transcripts must be submitted electronically or postmarked no later than the date listed in the table above for the round in which you have applied. Transcripts may be submitted by your school counselor, or you may upload an unofficial high school transcript via your admission portal after application submission. Students who have taken dual enrollment courses should ensure those courses are listed on their high school transcript, self-report their dual enrollment work through their application, or request the college attended to send your transcript to us directly. Students who are admitted and enroll will be required to submit an official transcript directly from the college to be considered for any transfer credit.
Other Documentation
Additional documents may be requested upon review of your file. These documents will be due by the document deadline for that round or as soon as possible if requested after the deadline.
