Georgia Tech QCF Admission Discussion

Georgia Tech's QCF Program is a professional, interdisciplinary graduate degree program.

I too have worked at Merrill (hired through grad program and then SAC), I have most of my friends working in similar capacities and agrees with this. You seem to pick one example and trying to disprove what I just said. I am not giving theorem here but statistics.

For somebody who has worked at Merrill and SAC, I find it funny that you have to resort to applying to a 2nd rate school like GT. With Steven Cohen as a reference, couldn't you attend an online masters from the University of Phoenix and still get job offers from GS, MS, JPM, etc?

@anton - From his old post ,"lonely" is trying to make his way to NY( so no on line degree will achieve that). It appears he does not need/care for the education as such. He is also very confidant of his contacts in the city to land him a job( after he does his time). Given that, it makes sense for him to choose a school which will pay for him to come here and /or has the shortest program or rather something in between depends on what he expects to make in his new job. What is actually funny is that he still pines to get in the top programs ( which are not necessarily that short or likely to fund his stay)

@lonely , BTW just curious have you been admitted to Gatech?

I got admitted at Gatech. I received the admit on April 7th. Are there any more admitted students, in here?

I'm curious about that, too, although I don't see any point to be worried about having no news.

I talked to Pam Morris at Georgia Tech and she told me decision would be released this week. Apparently they wanted to make admission decision after viewing everyone's application. They would have released decisions earlier but apparently the system has been down.

Has anybody received offer from GaTech? I can see on the Tracker 2 people have received admits. What about others? My application status still says "Action Dept/Decision Pending"

I received an informal email admission on the 30th of March. However, my application status on BUZZPORT still says "Action Dept/Decision Pending" as well. I wouldn't be too worried about not hearing anything back from them yet; it doesn't seem like they're sending mass emails to all applicants like other schools do.

Do we have to submit the financial documents along with the application form or can we wait till we get an admit before submitting the documents?

I guess they have mentioned on the website that we need to submit financial document along with the application...as they wont process the application without financial document..

I did not submit any financial document along with the application that time. And I ever send email to demko@math.gatech.edu and gradinfo@gatech.edu to check my application status, no one answer me. Which email address do you use to contact this program? I am not sure whether they will process my application....
 
  • mfe_applicant has no tracker for this program.
Before submitting my application, I had emailed them to ask whether its absolutely necessary to submit financial documents along with the online application. This is what they replied : -

"You may wait to submit financial documents until, and if, you are admitted to the program".
