Summer 2019 Admssion
iGniTe students select their preferred track via their admission portal, and students receive rolling admission on a first come, first serve basis.
Admitted students can apply to join our Living Learning Communities using the link in your admission portal. You must select at least two Living Learning Communities, but you can apply for all of them if you want! If invited to join more than one community, you must choose only one*. Please remember that Science and Math (College of Sciences) majors are given priority for the Explore LLC. The complete LLC application consists of one (or two depending on which LLCs you select) short answer question(s) and we use your responses along with your GT application to help us make our decisions.
For more information regarding LLC requirements and commitment, please visit each community's website. Students are invited to apply to all Living Learning Communities that they have an interest in pursuing.
To apply to the International House and/or Women in Science and Technology, students must apply via the community's website by the posted deadlines. Only rising 2nd year or beyond students are eligible to apply.
*Students can participate in the iGniTe Summer Living Learning Community AND any other Living Learning Community.

Yes! There are President's Scholars in all of our Living Learning Communities. They do not conflict in any way.
Yes! All Living Learning Communities are also part of the First-Year Experience Program offered by Residence Life in Housing. The programming, opportunities, and activities offered in the First-Year Experience Program are complementary to the programming, opportunities, and activities offered by the Living Learning Communities.
No. You are not committing to Georgia Tech by applying to a Living Learning Community OR by accepting an invitation to a Living Learning Community. We encourage you to apply and accept your invitation early to hold your spot in the LLC should you decide to come to Tech. All we ask is that if you decide not to come to Tech, you let us know as soon as possible and close your GT application. This allows us to offer your spot to another student.
