If Your Application Is Selected for a Partner Evaluation

If you studied at a school outside the U.S., your application may be selected for evaluation by IEE. If this happens, Georgia Tech will cover the cost—you won’t need to pay anything.

  • Your full name
  • Date of birth
  • Email address
  • Name(s) of your international school(s) and degree(s) earned or expected
  • Transcripts and degree documents you uploaded in your application

If additional documents are needed as part of the evaluation process, they will be listed in your Applicant Experience Portal, and your application will be placed on hold until you submit the missing items.

Once the evaluation is complete, Georgia Tech will receive a report that includes:
