The
best part of Georgia Tech is the ability to transfer.
If you are not ready/mature enough to endure many
long nights of hard work and study (all nighters on
the reg), then do not come here immediately. I
was one of the best mathematical/science students at my high
school and I dropped out my first semester because of
the lack of social life ,dweebs in my dormitory, and
RIDICULOUS amount of core class work. The first two
years are the worst with all the core classes that
are essentially meaningless in my opinion. The final two
years are the best because you are typically in the
same classes with the same period from semester to semester
and the subjects are much more interesting. There are
many options in Georgia that provide transfer programs where you
can get rid of about 60% (core classes) of your
intended degree elsewhere. I would recommend going to UGA
first then transferring after 2-2.5 years or Georgia Southern if
that is the case because I know that UGA has
strange selectivity. I got rejected from UGA haha.
Don't get adapted to that party life style but use
it as a way to burn yourself out of partying
and a way to make yourself think its time to
get serious with my life. Also, don't let people discourage
you for attending a second rate school because deep down
you know your goal will be to get that tech
degree then you can berate them as much as you
want for having a “high school” degree. Also, you
will have that social balance that you desired. After
about 2 years at Georgia Southern I transferred back and
now currently have a 3.41 GPA heading into my last
semester at GT. The only thing I regret is
missing that first semester as I could be closer to
being done with Tech. However, no regrets as my
GPA is wonderful by Tech standards and most of my
friends coming back from UGA/Vanderbilt/GA. Southern/Northwestern/UVA have nothing to look
forward to in terms of the job market. Liberal
art undergrad degrees don't get you shit anymore and are
the equivalent of high school degrees. Just keep in mind
that you dont have to go four to five years
at Georgia Tech to earn that coveted engineering degree.
Go somewhere else. Enjoy yourself. THEN go to tech.
My advisor even told me to do this as I
was dropping out of my first semester. I just wish
I knew this earlier. Also, you are about 21 by
the time you get back and get to ACTUALLY enjoy
Atlanta for what it is worth. Just dont get
caught in Home Park late at night. You might
get robbed.
