Ok, so to start off I am aQuite BrightOther
Ok, so to start off I am a BioMedical Engineer at the wonderful campus of GaTech. To say the least, this school is ridiculously tough. There is no such thing as an easy A at this school, even health classes are difficult. Once there was a time I thought I would never bring home a D in a class, and since i have been enrolled here...well that view has changed. You will find yourself begging for a C more than you would ever want and the tests are very general and dispersed over large areas of information. The major I am currently (and I say currently) in required you to actually apply to get in after your first semester here at gatech. So an incredibly large load has been thrown on my shoulders. Granted this institution prepares you well for the real world, but it's almost not worth it. This school creates such stress that you will have a receding hairline by the time you turn 22.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that Georgia TechBusiness - Management and Administration
Don't fool yourself into thinking that Georgia Tech is a place where once you get in, you're set and don't have to work. Georgia Tech has such a good academic reputation because you have to work so hard while you're here. Once you get out, you can handle pretty much any type of stress because you've been there and handled it before. On the same vein, you know that when you get a good grade, you actually earned that grade. There are no gentleman's B's here. The grades you get are equal to the work you put in. It's a tough school but most people wouldn't be anywhere else.
