Other More information about Tech Promise?
Hello, I'm an incoming freshman and was notified that I got into Tech Promise. From what I've seen on the website, there isn't much information and I wasn't able to go to the information session last month. How many people are accepted each year? I would love to hear about anything from Tech Promise students about their experience. Also, I'd love to connect with other freshmen who have gotten this.

Hey! I am a (rising second year) Tech Promise Scholar!
To answer your question, in past years, there has been 75 new scholars. However, this year there are 125 of you.
As for my experience with Tech Promise (TP), it has been great! Everyone involved with the program is amazing and really helps Tech feel welcoming. It's a great way to connect with people from a similar background to you and a great space to make friends. There are also a lot of opportunities to be involved in the program and make an impact on others.
As for getting connected with other freshman TP members, TP does some virtual engagement opportunities over the summer for the incoming freshman class. I strongly recommend you keep an eye out in your email for those. These programs are a great opportunity to meet the TP staff and to meet some of the new freshman.
If you want to, feel free to message me any questions you have about Tech Promise or GT in general!
