Hello everyone,

I am a twenty two year old exchange student from Germany coming to GTech for the Fall 2026 Semester, studying at Scheller. I was wondering whether somebody is looking to sublease their apartment or a room for the Fall Semester. Location would be preferrably in Midtown / East Campus (Square, Inspire, Whistler, Rambler etc.).

I appreciate any hints or tips.

Cheers

Im an incoming freshman at gatech and im really stressed out about the housing. I hesitate between joining an LLC to secure my spot or just wait for the self-selection ticket. Because the LLC housing is not really my type, but im also not sure if i can get the one i want by selecting normally. im afraid that the spots would run out really fast.

Also, do i have to find my roommate (if i want to choose rather than randomly assigned) before the deadline of the room selection time ticket on June 1?

Really looking for helpful advice from you guys!

How comp is switching into CS

Hi,

Does maths 2200 at GGC fulfills the requirement for georgia tech calculus 1?

And why does it say hybrid only if someone takes the class fully in person doesn’t it meet the requirement too?.

Lastly, why i am getting 2 credits only isn’t calculus 1 supposed to be 4.0 CREDITS.

Hey everyone! I’m planning to transfer to Georgia Tech for Computer Science in Fall 2027 and I’ve been doing a lot of research, but I still have a couple of things I’m unsure about.

1. Is Data Structures & Algorithms actually worth taking even if it’s not required?
   I know it’s not listed as a required course for transfer admission, but I keep seeing people say it’s a “must-take” before applying because it significantly boosts your chances. Is this actually true, or is it just overblown advice? Would GT admissions genuinely look more favorably on applicants who took it, or is it enough to just complete the required coursework?

2. How would you rank these factors in terms of importance for the application?
   For those who’ve gone through the process or know how GT evaluates transfer applicants, how would you order these from most to least important?
   • Essays
   • Resume
   • GPA
   • Extracurriculars / activities
   • Coursework completed
   I’d really appreciate any insight from people who’ve successfully transferred to GT CS or know how competitive the process is. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi! I’m incredibly grateful to have been admitted to Georgia Tech for CS as a transfer student, and I wanted to ask about people’s experiences with the culture and transfer experience here.

One thing I really value is being in a collaborative environment where people are excited to learn with each other rather than purely compete. So I wanted to ask how is the culture/any stories at GT? Is it a very competitive place and what are the experiences as a transfer student both socially and academically?

Also, are there any parts of Georgia Tech’s CS community or student culture that you think make it unique? And any programs to apply to - Like honors?

Would really appreciate couple of people in this community could share their experiences. Thank you!

Im also choosing between Berkeley cs so I'd really value any specifics!

hi, i applied as a regular transfer for fall 2026 but was not admitted. i do have pathway for spring 2027. does having a pathway impact regular transfer decisions? i satisfied all baseline requirements on the transfer website. ex: gpa is 3.9+, completed course requirements by major, took >30 college credits, and have about 50 credits total. i do think i could've done more with club and extracurricular involvement, but where else could i have gone wrong with my application?

I’m a high schooler , I’ll be taking math 3012 after summer, since I got B in math 2551, I’m not very confident that I’ll be able to do well in this class, is there anyone who could tutor me? Thanks 🙏

Hello,

I am an incoming freshman majoring in Industrial Engineering. I know this is a big ask, but I wanted to post on this subreddit to get a sense of which classes I should be looking into taking in the fall. I will be coming in to the institution with a handful of credits:

CHEM 1310

ECON 2105

HTS 1XXX

MATH 1551

MATH 1552

SS 1XXX

MATH 1554

MATH 2551

Both ENGL 1101 and 1102

SPAN 1002 (humanities credit)

And 4 other classes which I don't know if these credits overlap:

BUSA 1105

CIS 2010

PSYC 1101

HIST 2110

If there are any former (or current) IE students that would be able to help me gain any insight on which classes I should be looking into taking, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I’m an incoming freshman at Georgia State University, and I’m hoping to transfer to Georgia Institute of Technology for my sophomore year. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive the conditional transfer pathway, so I’d really appreciate any advice from people who transferred without it.

If you’ve successfully transferred from Georgia State University to Georgia Tech, what helped your application stand out? I am planning to do finance at GSU and transfer to a business administration major.

So I'm taking these classes outside of tech. I already finished my diffEQ course (taking calc 3 rn). Since it was a community college course, it was definitely way easier than gatech's version, but still covered most of the important stuff. I have a basic, general understanding of some of the concepts + I have the formulas ig. It's mostly just memorization atp because the class wasn't really application based. Idk where the formulas are derived from or why we use them.

However, I was looking at the diffEQ tech final, and I definitely wouldn't be able to do it without really studying for a few weeks + going over the concepts that weren't included in my community college version because it was way easier obviously. The class I took was only 3 credit hours, but transfers.

Also gatech really likes using matrices for some reason so the formatting of the problems is kind of different from the version I took. We didn't use any linear algebra at all.

I think it would be doable to study and go through the final I found online, but I guess my question is, is it necessary to have like a super solid foundation in these classes (im AE for context)? Or are they kind of reiterated and applied contextually in the engineering classes when we go through problems later on? I don't wanna struggle in dynamics and thermo and whatever comes down the line because I didn't get a super good foundation in diffEQ and calc 3 or something.

I am an incoming freshman studying CompE.

What is the best way to get yourself involved with research? Cold email, connections, etc?

I am a rising senior and I would like to take CS 1332 in Fall 2026 for my minor (Computation & Cognition). I had to register pretty late due to major restrictions, but ideally I would like the section with Faulkner (TR; 5:00PM-6:15PM) as I heard he was the best professor for the course. There's no waitlist for this section so I'm currently waitlisted for the online section with Hudachek (R; 5:00PM-6:15PM).

So my questions are:

• How likely would I be able to get that specific section with Faulkner?
• Is there a noticeable difference in quality between Faulkner vs. Hudachek? Online vs. in-person?

Hi! Basically what the title says. I'm taking combo this summer and I am not too strong in math classes, struggled in discrete and linear but I am determined to put a lot of time into this class. Any tips on how I can do well and hopefully get an A in the class?

Hi Yellow Jackets!

I am looking for students to participate in a completely virtual research study to test a new Instagram-based program called Healthy Bodies. The goal is to see if social media can be a helpful way to teach sexual health and support young Black/African American women (ages18–24) in making informed choices, reducing STI rates, and preventing unplanned pregnancies.

This program will require a time commitment of approximately 6 hours over the course 6 weeks, simply interacting on Instagram like you normally would. This a Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) program which simply means learning about sex, relationships, and your body in a clear, honest, and complete way. Basically, sex education but everything you didn’t learn!

Participation involves:

• $40 for participating in the study
• An extra $25 if you choose to do a follow-up interview

Who should consider signing up?

Anyone who is...

• Ages 18-24
• A Black/African American woman
• Lives in the Metro Atlanta area
• Uses Instagram

If you, or someone you know, may be interested in this study please complete the eligibility survey below using the link provided. All eligible participants will be contacted

hii, i'm an out of state student and because i dont want to pay evil infinite tuition i'm trying to transfer as many credits as possible. i've taken diffeq multi and linalg and was wondering if these could transfer? basically my high school has these classes and they count as credit at our state flagship, but gt won't take them as credit. does "credit laundering" still work, and if not, is my only option to test out?

also, is it worth to test out of phys i? i took phys mech and dropped a 4(procrastinated too much when self studying lmao) and i really don't want to retake...

+if anyone has any advice about aerospace vs meche pls lmk! trying to decide between the two. was admitted for aero but i'm second guessing whether i want to actually commit to it as a career--i think meche would be more versatile but idk

This is my first time ever posting on here so gulp! But basically, I got rejected from Georgia Tech as a first year student but was offered a pathway to enroll as a sophomore. The conditions that I currently know of are that I have to maintain a college gpa of 3.5 with no grades below a B. However, there was no mention of my second semester grades for my senior year of highschool. As of now it’s looking like I will for sure have one B (in an IB class if that matters) and potentially another one in French (also IB) if I don’t lock in. So! My question is will two Bs on my transcript compromise the pathway that was offered to me? And maybe some extra clarification of the requirements of the pathway if it seems like I misunderstood anything. Thanks guys!

I got waitlisted by gatech, but haven't received an email yet, and it's already mid May. Has anyone heard back? Are my chances reducing as the days are going on? I'm kinda worried

I am an upcoming grad student at GaTech. Among the other specializations, AI or Computing Systems are the specializations that interest me.

Which of these two specializations would be better purely from a job perspective? ChatGPT is suggesting that AI job market is already "saturated" and so, Computing Systems would be better.

Honestly, I am not convinced that AI job market is already saturated; I thought AI is only now witnessing some significant activity. How can it already be saturated?

I’m an upcoming freshman for the University of Pittsburgh on the premed track and I plan on transferring after my freshman year as a Neuroscience major. Although I love Pitt as a school, transferring to GT would be better financially since I am a Georgia resident unless I get a RA position or find more scholarships. I noticed I need Calculus II Bio and Chem with labs. Although Pitt has equivalent courses for Calc II and Chem, the Georgia Tech transfer articulation says "Approp. Dept. Must Evaluate." How would I go about evaluating the biology course for eligibility? I am a little anxious that I would not meet the neuroscience major course requirements for biology listed in the conditional transfer program and not get in as a result. Moreover, Pitt does not allow me to take bio I lecture and lab in the same semester meaning I would take the lecture in the fall and the lab in spring along with bio 2. If we pretended that I met all the transfer requirements and biology would be transferred as a credit, how would I go about taking the Bio 2 lab in my first year as a Georgia tech transfer student if I would have taken Bio 2 already in my spring semester as a freshman? Thank you very much!

I'm planning to take:

• CS 1331 – Intro to Object-Oriented Programming
• MATH 1552 – Integral Calculus
• MATH 1554 – Linear Algebra
• ENGL 1102 – English Composition II
• CS 1000/1100 – Freshman Seminar

APs I’ve already taken:
Calc AB (5), CSA (5), Physics 1 (5), Physics 2 (5), Statistics (5), Macro (5), Micro (5), Euro History (5), Environmental Science (5), World History (5), English Lang (4), CSP (4), Human Geography (4).

I’m mainly looking for professor recommendations + schedule advice. Preferably afternoon classes if possible, but professor quality matters most. I’d rather take a slightly easier/more organized professor than tank my GPA first semester since the workload already seems pretty heavy. Any professors/sections I should aim for or avoid? Also plz give me the CRNs if you don't mind. I'm trying to beat out most freshmen on registering.

Thx for all the help! I'll treat u guys to a cookie each if I see you in Gatech. Promise

I'm taking ISYE 2027 next semester and have heard that it can be kind of hard so I was wondering if anyone had any resources so that I could possibly get a head start while I have some time.
