Nineteen seniors at the Atlanta International School (AIS) received hand-delivered early action acceptances from the Georgia Institute of Technology Jan. 16.
Jacqueline Royster, dean of the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, and Mary Tipton Woolley, associate director of admissions, personally gave the chosen seniors their early action acceptances in what has become an annual practice.
Courtney Fowler, AIS’s associate director of marketing and communications, told Global Atlanta that the 19 students were chosen from 12,000 applications for early action with an acceptance rate of 45 percent.
“A lot of our students won’t find out until April,” she said. “But we have such a good acceptance rate that the university has been delivering these personally.”
Last year Georgia Tech received 25,880 applications to enter the freshman class and only 33 percent were accepted. The class is composed of 2,800 students.
