| How To Send Ielts Score To Georgia Tech |
Step 1: The Electronic Score Delivery Shuffle
Forget carrier pigeons (although that would be epic). Georgia Tech prefers the electronic score delivery service offered by IELTS. Think of it as a digital tuxedo for your scores, ensuring they arrive looking sharp and official.
Here's the how-to:
- Log in to your IELTS results portal.
- Find the "Send Scores" section. (Don't worry, it won't try to sell you anything shady.)
- Search for "Georgia Institute of Technology".
- Select "Graduate" unless you're applying to their elusive time-traveling undergraduate program (if that exists, hit me up!).
- Double-check everything is correct. Typos are the gremlins of academia, so be vigilant!
- Pay the fee (those pesky gremlins need feeding, apparently).
Pro Tip: While you're there, consider sending your scores to other schools you might be applying to. It's all about efficiency, baby!
Step 2: The Waiting Game (with Occasional Refreshing)
Now comes the not-so-thrilling part: waiting. But hey, think of it as a chance to polish your robot-building skills (because, Georgia Tech). Just avoid refreshing the application portal every five seconds. Patience is a virtue, and all that jazz.
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
Georgia Tech usually receives scores within a week or two, but hey, international bureaucracy can be a funny beast. If you get antsy after a reasonable amount of time (think weeks, not days), contact the IELTS folks for confirmation.
Step 3: The Victory Lap (or "Hey, They Got My Scores!")
Once Georgia Tech receives your scores, they'll magically appear in your application. Cue the confetti! You've successfully navigated the Transcript Tango. Now you can focus on the real challenge: convincing them you're the perfect candidate (though your stellar IELTS score is a great start).
But wait, there's more!
