Review of Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus
from Urbana, IL
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
Georgia Tech offers so many majors and degrees. Many of the professors are merited with the highest level of prestige and are more than capable of teaching you!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The academic side to Georgia Tech is very challenging however the rest of the college life is very enjoyable. The Greek, community, sports, and overall student experience is very appealing and a lot of fun.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Georgia Tech is constantly a top 10 National Public University and all of its engineering programs are in the top 10 as well in the country. Georgia Tech will give you a degree that rivals if not surpasses that of an Ivy League school. Also, there are many perks to being a student such as the software and technology that you are entitled to.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I recommend that you take both the ACT and the SAT. Although it's not required to take both, it makes you stand out among the crowd. Also, the more community service and volunteer experience you have, the better your chances of being accepted.
Make sure to apply as early as possible. This is the case with all colleges and universities but I can not stress this enough. Georgia Tech receives more applicants that it can handle each year so the review process is lengthy. Apply before the early deadline to guarantee a possible acceptance. Sometimes students that apply for the regular deadline don't get accepted due to the fact that too many have already been admitted. Make sure to apply via paper application as well. Online applications are less personal and can easily be overlooked.
For those that have been accepted and are about to begin their first year, come prepared. Georgia Tech is not like high school and classes will be challenging no matter what it is. Come in with a ready attitude. You must take all classes seriously, even those that may seem less difficult.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Georgia Tech is great for students that take their academics seriously and pride themselves on their effort. If you are someone that likes the big city life-style with a great athletic environment and hundreds of extra curricular activities than Georgia Tech is the school for you.
