Title

Incoming Freshman studying Computer Engineering here hoping to minor in computing & intelligence or computing & mathematics.

Is this a Good Course load for the fall 2026?

CS1301 - Intro to Computing (3)

M1554 - Intro Linear Algebra (4)

C1310 - Prin of Gen Chem for Engr (4)

P2211 Principle of Physics (4)

Other miscellaneous required course for a certain program (1)

I know the average credit hour at tech is 16, but I do not know how heavy the course load is between pure academic classes. I am stopping at 16 b/c I don't want to be stressed by taking another course.

I am an incoming freshman studying CompE.

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

Just got off the waitlist for northeastern... Nice, but already committed

The title.

I know the SPS scholarship gives stipends for research or trips, but what advantage does Gold Scholars get in terms of research or clubs

Cost is not a factor. I want to pursue something engineering/CS related but I do not know which one I should choose.

I am instate for GT and in the honors programs, so Idk if that is a heavy factor.

Post-Grad plan is to either to PhD or go straight into work force, which one would have a better outcome?

Ts is so funny to me b/c everytime i see the name of GT popping up in A2C, it always catches strays XD. Like I don't think it is a bad school especially for engineering (might be biased b/c i am an incoming freshman), but people always dismiss it over other top public like UMich.

Like chill, i get it GT has a lot of NPC due to the curriculum but damn...
