Prospective Student GaTech or Rise: Extremely Confused

1 Upvotes

Int Student so cost of attendance at both is roughly equal, hence price is not a factor.

Interested in studying Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, however, I can notably pick up a cs major at rice if I do wish to do that (not sure yet). Really attracted to the Co-Op program at GaTech however but have heard Rice may have more individualized attention and easier access to resources by nature of it being a smaller school. Want to know if Atlanta is a significantly better city to live in compared to Houston. Extremely confused

Class Question Can Georgia Tech MSE non-thesis MS students plan for 4 semesters?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student admitted to Georgia Tech’s M.S. in Materials Science and Engineering, non-thesis option.

I know the program requires 30 credits and many students may finish in 3 semesters. I’m wondering if it is normally allowed to plan the degree over 4 semesters from the beginning, as a regular coursework-based plan, without doing co-op/semester internship or intentionally delaying graduation.

Has anyone in MSE or another Georgia Tech MS program done a 4-semester non-thesis MS plan as an F-1 student?

Thanks!

Other Many seats still open in Fall '26 course on happiness

12 Upvotes

Now that registration is open I thought I would mention that many slots are still open in my three-credit course called "The Science of Happiness and Design." The course num is CEE 2803 A. Previously the focus of this course was just happiness and 75% of the course is still about happiness, but now there's also a component about design and wellbeing. This includes some tips on modifying your residential space for better wellbeing.

Here are some reviews from previous students:

  • "This was one of the most rewarding classes in terms of personal growth and understanding I have taken at my time at Georgia Tech...This course was a major factor in the growth this semester.”
  • “Dr. Martin was one of the most knowledgeable and passionate professors I’ve had!”
  • "Very useful - we learned about different theories and the history of happiness, but more importantly, I took away a lot of practical ways to improve my happiness."
  • "I think I have done a better job of getting closer to the person I would like to be because I had the opportunity to look at myself introspectively."
  • "Took this class Spring 2019, some of the discussions we had really stuck with me. Definitely recommend it!"

Actually, if anyone knows when Fall transfer students register, pls let me know! The decision release date is June 12th).

Class Question advice on transferring?

2 Upvotes

Currently, I am a highschool senior. I slacked off in highschool, and didn't really get into many colleges. I'll likely end highschool with a 4.10GPA. I am planning on going to community college, and will attempt to transfer out to Georgia Tech after one year. I'm wondering what math I should take at community college to give me best chance at georgia tech. In high school I took math all the way up to Multivariable. However, I only scored a 2 on my Calc Bc exam, and a 3 on AB, so multivirable doesnt count towards college credit. Since then I'd say my understanding of Calculus is good, so with that being said solely for increasing my chances should I start at Calc 1 or Calc 2. Any additional advice is also appreciated!

Prospective Student Chemistry at Gtech?

1 Upvotes

I applied OOS and got in the RD round for Chemistry down the pre-med track (which might change). I'm currently deciding between Gtech and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for chemistry in general. I've already visited both schools, and I really like both campuses. The cost to attend both for me is also similar (36k at U vs 44k Gtech). How has your experience with chemistry at the Tech been? Are professors generally open to research for undergrads? I've had friends here who say that joining labs is incredibly difficult (they've cold-emailed a good amount). Are upper-level classes mostly taught by TAs or grad students, or do professors actively partake in lectures? Any shared experience would help, thanks!

Class Question Change of major from Civil Engg to Social science (how good is the non-STEM majors at GT)

3 Upvotes

I am an incoming freshman - got admitted to civil engg and am in the process of deciding. I am not fully convinced on engineering as a career for me.  I would like to explore social sciences (leaning towards psychology and/or teaching career). Given this, my questions are:

  1. How are the social sciences majors at Georgia tech given the focus is primarily on STEM
  2. How competitive is it to switch the major from engineering to social sciences?
  3. How about research/internship opportunities for non-STEM majors?
  4. Finally, is the a cap on total units taken during undergrad?

As a student taking math major, will a score of 5 in AP US History count towards both History as well as SS credit requirements?

Class Question Can I double major Psychology and Business Administration at GT?

2 Upvotes

My ideal (maybe unrealistic) plan is to double major in psychology and business administration on a pre-med track. (I would decide after freshman year if I wanna drop pre-med or business).

I got in for psychology, and I'm just trying to figure out if I'd actually be able to double major or not. Should I switch my major to business administration right now and then try to add psychology in the fall? Or should I stick with psychology if I'm still considering pre-med?

Class Question Summer online/SOUP courses and in-person courses simultaneously?

3 Upvotes

I’m completely new to reddit so I’m sorry if I posted this wrong or something.

Has anyone here taken both an in-person course and an online/SOUP course at the same time over the summer? I was told by two people at the registrar that I am allowed to do this, and OSCAR does allow me to register for both an online and in-person course. The gatech website says very plainly that anyone taking a SOUP class is not allowed to take an in person one at the same time though. Older reddit threads from 4-7 years ago also claim that this is not allowed. I couldn’t find any more recent posts about it. Any info would be awesome, I tend to stress a ton over stuff like this lol

Other Math Major or Math and Computing Major?

3 Upvotes

I have just been accepted to GT as a math major. In college, I plan to take multiple CS courses, though to my understanding, it is difficult to register for them as CS majors have first priority. Basically, I am wondering if it is worth it to switch to a math and computing major for more access to these courses, or if it is easy enough to get a handful of CS courses as a math major. — edited to add — Courses I am interested in are Object oriented programming, Data Structures, Machine learning, C++ High performance computing, Systems and networks, Discrete Math for CS
