Review of Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
from Hoschton, GA
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
Georgia Tech will teach you skills for both inside and outside of the classroom. No matter what your major might be, you will be challenged to do your very best and you will learn how you operate as a student. By the end of your first year at Tech, you will have learned when you study best, how to use your time wisely, how to become more involved in your community, and how much Tech has to offer you- as long as you strive and reach out for what you desire as a student and an individual.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Overall, I am enjoying my time at Tech. There are so many things to get involved in, whether on campus or off- campus. You are surrounded by people who have the same niche for success and achievement as you do. Georgia Tech has intramural sports, different religious groups, interest clubs, community service initiatives, exercise classes and many other activities for students to get involved in.
The academics are indeed challenging, but do not get too consumed in your studies- make sure you take the time out for yourself and do some of the things you love and get involved early. Academics are very important, but so is your well being. Take breaks and hang out with your friends. Make sure that school is a part of your life and not all of your life.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are interested in coming to Georgia Tech, take both the SAT and the ACT. Many people only do one or the other, but it works in students' advantage if they take both. Georgia Tech accepts both and some people might do better on one or the other.
Make sure that you take honors, gifted or Advanced Placement classes. Georgia Tech looks for students who have already challenged themselves to do above and beyond the requirement.
On the other hand, if you do take higher level courses in high school, make sure you maintain a grade point average that is close to Tech's standards. Do not let your grades slip, especially during your junior and senior years.
Georgia Tech wants to know that you are a well- rounded student. Admissions wants to know not only what you can do in the classroom, but also what you can do for the world. This school is prided on research and technology that makes the world a better place. Admissions will want to see if you are involve in sports, honor societies, interest clubs, the community, your church, or in the arts.
Last but not least, do not underestimate the power of a well- written essay. The essay is the only chance for admissions to see you as an individual. Do not take the opportunity lightly. Now that they have seen your credentials and what you have done, tell them what has driven you, why you have a desire to succeed, and why you take part in the activities you take part in. Let them know who you are as a person- not simply a piece of paper. Make sure that you stay on the topic provided and that you report to your English teacher for revising and editing.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are hard working, determined, and filled with a desire succeed, then Tech is the school for you. If you can handle a challenge but you are good at seeing past minor setbacks in order to achieve future goals, then Tech is the place for you. If you are analytical and like to solve problems, then Tech is definitely the place for you. If you have agreed to most of the previous statements and you love the city of Atlanta, then find yourself on Georgia Tech's campus, because it is the school for you.
