Georgia Tech Admissions? ACE, GPA?

[Hotdogman1]

It isn't hard getting into the program. It wouldn't be surprising if you got in.

• "Adding in the incoming students (OMSCS Spring 2025), total enrollment in the program is 16,609 this semester, which is an all-time record"
  
• "20% of incoming students already have a graduate-level degree. 3% have a PhD or other doctoral degree" = 77% only had a bachelor's (https://mailchi.mp/cc.gatech.edu/welcome...ce2c18dc7/)
  

When I was applying, I heard the acceptance rate for both programs was around 75% (probably not accurate since I couldn't find official data to confirm).

I didn’t mean to gatekeep; I just got the impression that you thought it was an entry level beginner friendly program. They don’t teach from the ground up as they expect you to already have a certain level of knowledge. That said, many people, like my brother's friend, have thrived in the program without a CS background. With only the TESU BACS, you might have an ok shot of getting in (I'm not guaranteeing anything). Get the $95 application waiver, 3 really good letters of recommendation, resume and essays edited/reviewed at a public library or TESU's writing center if they have one. Like bjcheung77 mentioned: "they look at your application as a package, from GPA to other various variables." Worst case scenario, you only waste <$20 in transcript fees since you probably need the rest for the other schools anyways.
