Georgia Tech: Does applying early improve the chance of getting a preferred dorm?

DIRECT ANSWER

For eligible first-years who meet the deadline, housing room-selection priority is not first-come, first-served; selection time tickets are randomized.

Georgia Tech explicitly states that first-year housing is not first-come, first-served. Eligible first-year students who meet the applicable deadline receive a random room-selection time ticket, so submitting earlier within the eligible window does not create an earlier ticket.
