Is there a difference based on the home unit through which you apply?
How can I check the status of my application?
Do you accept WES evaluations?
No. We do not accept WES evaluations. If you completed your education outside of the United States, we highly recommend using one of the three Georgia Tech approved credential evaluation services: IEE(link is external), Educational Perspectives(link is external), or SpanTran Pathways(link is external). This will significantly speed up the verification process if admitted to the program and allow us to proceed with issuance of the I-20 document much more quickly. Should you choose not to use one of these 3 approved evaluation services, our Graduate Studies' Office will do the evaluation in-house, but this may result in a slower institute verification if admitted.
