Essay prompts
Confirmed with the school
No supplemental essays — personal statement only.
For the general first-year application, Georgia Institute of Technology requires no school-specific essay this cycle — the Common App personal statement is the writing. Nothing is missing from this page: we list none because the school publishes none. Individual programs (honors, scholarships, or a particular major) can still ask their own questions — the source below is the school's own statement.
The school's published AI policy
AI tools can be powerful and valuable in the application process when used thoughtfully. We believe there is a place for them in helping you generate ideas, but your ultimate submission should be your own. As with all other sources, you should not copy and paste content you did not create directly into your application. Instead, if you choose to utilize AI-based assistance while working on your writing submissions for Georgia Tech, we encourage you to take the same approach you would when collaborating with people. Use it to brainstorm, edit, and refine your ideas. AI can also be a useful tool as you consider how to construct your resume in the Activities portion of the Common Application. We think AI could be a helpful collaborator, particularly when you do not have access to other assistance to help you complete your application.

Our reading
Georgia Tech explicitly encourages applicants to use AI to brainstorm, edit, and refine their ideas and calls it a potentially helpful collaborator, especially for those without other assistance, requiring only that the final submission be the applicant's own and that uncreated content not be copied and pasted in.
How reviews use this page
When you request a review for a Georgia Institute of Technology supplement, the feedback is grounded in exactly what you see here: the prompt itself, its word limit, and what the school publishes about its values and programs. That's the whole claim — calibrated to the prompt and the school's own published guidance, scored against a consistent rubric. Not insider knowledge, and never a rewrite: Second Read is a coach, not a ghostwriter. It flags weaknesses and tells you what to fix and why; it never writes a sentence of your essay.
Something wrong on this page?
A wrong deadline is worse than no deadline. If anything here doesn't match the school's official page, tell us — same-day fix is the goal.
