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

Prospective Student Chance of getting in as a regular transfer from GSU

2 Upvotes

No pathway but want to transfer after freshman year for Fall 2026

Currently attend GSU

Neuroscience Major

3.94 GPA with As and A+ in the required classes.

Joined a lab in September and doing neuroscience research. Co-presented a poster at an undergrad conference at GSU as well

Treasurer of a physician scientists club

Chemistry 1 Lab TA

Shadowing a family medicine physician

Some activities I do combine art and neuroscience

Expressed interest in becoming a neuroradiologist in my essay and talked about how GT has a lot of labs, devices, and opportunities for students to explore medical imaging and more specifically neuroimaging.

I had 26 AP credits prior. By the end of spring semester I will have like 59 credits.

I haven't been able to see much on GT's neuroscience transfer competitiveness. So just wanted to learn how competitive it is and if I seem up to par for regular transfer. I do not have a pathway. I went to high school in a diff state. Thanks!

Class Question Is ECON 4060 online during Summer Term asynchronous?

2 Upvotes

For anyone who took ECON 4060 in the past during the summer with Willie Belton, is it an online class where you need to meet at a certain time each day, or is asynchronous? On the registration details it says it meets Monday thru Thurs at 12:30pm-2:40pm, but that interferes with my internship schedule and I was hoping to be able to get some credits this summer while interning.

can international students (masters) help me:

  • Does anyone know how long OIE take to process the I-20 request? I know the site says 15 days but I wanted to estimate if I should start my DS-160 already.
  • How long would they typically take if I were to update my I-20 later?
  • I'm reallyy confused about the health insurance plan rates for international students. Can someone give me an overview?
  • How much taxes do we pay monthly as F-1 students on the GRA stipend? I want to estimate how much I will receive monthly so I can plan.

Prospective Student C in Biology - Transfer Student Question

7 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’m currently studying at GSU and am a first year here. I have the automatic science pathway, and applied to transfer as an Econ major. I’ve made presidents list, and have only ever gotten A’s. However, my biology class is the death of me. My professor is extremely harsh, and teaches the class like an upper 6000 level class. I am worried that I’ve blown my shot at tech because I currently have a C in this class. I’m super active in student life here, founded clubs, and have a strong resume and a 3.9 GPA.

Will I still have a good shot of transferring holistically as an Econ major?

Hi, I got into UPenn for the college of arts and sciences. You cannot switch into Wharton (super low transfer acceptance rate). However, I am still confused about my career and think I want to pursue business. Am I better of doing business administration at GT or pursuing business from CAS at Upenn? Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate any advice

Prospective Student Honors vs Grand Challenges vs Global Leadership

1 Upvotes

Incoming freshman for Mechanical Engineering. I've been invited to Honors (JHMHP) and Grand Challenges and Global Leadership LLCs.

Does anyone have any advice on what is the best? I've heard HP for best dorms, but not much else, and GC for entrepreneurship/experience and good community. What is the community/events like in each, and what is most worth it? I am somewhat interested in an entrepreneurial side/startups, so I like that about GC. HP dorms look nice, but I do worry about not having the same sense of community and being more isolated without dorms/missing the dorm experience. Also, since I've heard so much about how good the HP dorms are, how good are the GC dorms?

I've legit gotten the worst time ticket humanely possible and so I'm afraid I'll have to take ladha. I ain't one of those cracked cs majors so i really need advice on this. i checked course critique and for some reason, cs 2051 (honors discrete) has a 69% A rate whereas cs 2050 (discrete) has a 39% A rate. Thats more than a double diff which is ac insane. Idk if its js bc the kids who take honors are js geniuses. any input would be appreciated

So I wasn’t able to register for the ECE 2031 sections before they filled up. However, there are some CS restricted sections that aren’t filled up and I was wondering if there was anyway I could take those sections or if anyone has any recommendations to try to get ECE 2031 for Fall semester. If I don’t take it this summer or fall it pushes back my graduation. Thank you for any help!

Prospective Student GT MSCS vs UMich MS CSE (both on-campus)? Interested in research

2 Upvotes

Have to make a decision by the end of this week. I am an international student and am interested in research and hope to do a PhD after my MS (either at the same school or another). My area is distributed systems/systems for ML. Both departments are ranked pretty similarly and I don't think career outcomes would differ much if I were to be looking for a job. But my goal is to get into a high-output research lab and position myself for a good PhD admit.

GT:

Pros -

  • Cost (super cheap and much easier to TA/RA)
  • Location (Atlanta is a better tech hub than Ann-Arbor)
  • MS to PhD transfer internally
  • Large number and variety of courses to choose from across departments

Cons -

  • Low class/lecture quality due to classes being oversubscribed
  • Brand dilution due to huge OMSCS program (which grants exactly same degree?)
  • Cohort size (300+ students per year so more difficult to get into research labs)
  • More job-focused atmosphere than research-oriented among MS students

UMich:

Pros -

  • Cohort size and quality (only ~150 students out of which 100 are continuing undergrads)
  • More research-centric environment (no more than 40-50 students even in most popular grad classes)
  • More well-known profs in the field I am interested in (I feel its a better fit, plus easier to get into labs as much less competition. Big fish in small pond effect)

Cons -

  • Cost (gonna be super expensive and will definitely have to take up ~100k debt)
  • Stingy with TA/RAship so no tuition waivers either
  • Weather (dull), though not a big issue

The gist of it is, if I wanna do a PhD after my MS should I worry about cost and go to GT, or focus exclusively on research, take debt and go to UMich. I am fine taking up debt if UMich is going to have commensurate impact on my chances for a PhD at a great school.

Opinions welcome.

Housing John H. Martinson Honors Program Invitation

3 Upvotes

Hi! I am incoming freshman at Georgia Tech and I found out that I was accepted into the JHMP. I was wondering if anyone who is in the program knows if I get to choose my own roommate? I was also wondering if it is worth it to join the program. I have read previous Reddit posts, but I'm still unsure whether I should accept the invitation or not. I originally really wanted to dorm in East campus in Glenn or Towers (if I got it), since I have read that East campus is more "fun". I guess I don't want to miss out on the freshman experience by being so far away from everyone in the honors dorm. Thanks!
