how much would one GT dual "B" hurt me?

I am planning on attending uga this fall and i plan on transferring to tech next year. i got a B in math1554 when i was in high school senior year, and that is my only B for GaTech dual enrollment. I got an A in cs1301 and math2551.

will this single B make a big impact on my transfer application or my gatech gpa?

Transferring to tech VIA rep with AP and Dual enrollment credits

I got waitlisted from tech and now I'm looking to apply through the REP program to gatech. I have a lot of my rep requirements done (seen at this link: Dual Degree and Regent's Transfer Programs Engineering Major Requirements | Undergraduate Admission ) through AP classes so once I take differentials I'll have the requirements.

However, I am confused if they want these requirements done as a college student or if they will accept the AP credit, because I'm sure they want to look at the grades in those classes too but all my grades for those classes are from High school.

Can you transfer to gatech through rep with the rep required credits accumulated while in high school through AP and dual enrollment classes?

How is the employment situation for CS majors here?

Hi everyone, I’m a prospective transfer student deciding between my in-state school and Georgia Tech for CS. The cost difference is pretty big for me so I’m trying to figure out if GT is really worth the extra cost in today’s job market. Are internships/new grad opportunities noticeably better here?

Would really appreciate any honest opinions. Thanks!

Opinion on Schedule for Fall

Hi ! I'm an incoming 2nd year CompE Major and was wondering how this schedule looks since my last semester tanked my gpa and I'm trying to recover from it.

ECE 2020

PHYS 2211

MATH 2550

CS 1331

CS 2050

How does this schedule look? ( FYI, I'm done with my humanities and SS so there's really no G.P.A boosts for me)

Ece first year schedule

I’m an incoming ee major and I was wondering how this schedule looks for this fall. I’ve alr got some AP and dual enrollment credit and also took linear alg, multi and diffeq at gt so I already have a lot of credits done but I think this plan is too difficult for first semester.

cs 1331 (3)

phys 2211 (4)

ece 1100 (1)

ece 2020 (3)

chem 1310 (4)

neur 2001 (4)

I know its 19 credits so I was wondering what would be the best thing to drop? I wanna take 1331 first semester for sure since I want to get 1332 done in the spring. I also was planning on doing a neuro minor so I wanted to take principles of neuroscience too. But this is def a lot of hard classes so I know im gonna get cooked if I take all of them. Is there anything I could postpone for later? I was also confused bc I’ve seen ppl say not to take more than 12-15 hours a semester but on the GT website it gives a plan for EE/CE which includes taking semesters of mostly 17-19 credit hours. So does GT just underestimate their classes or is it more of people warning freshman but still doable?

Is civil engineering worth it in Atlanta/Georgia?

As the title says, is civil engineering worth pursuing? I currently have a pathway offer from Georgia Tech, but I still haven’t fully decided on a major. Because of that, I keep overthinking which courses I should take to match the major requirements.

I’ve also heard some people say that civil engineering jobs in Georgia are mostly traffic/transportation engineering. Is that actually true, especially around Atlanta?

If someone plans to stay in Georgia long-term, particularly in the Atlanta area, is civil engineering still a good field in terms of job opportunities and job if not than which field is a better alternative?.

Class Outline for incoming Freshman (Need Advice)

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.

Freshman Housing

Hey guys! I hope this isn’t a silly question 😭 Since upperclassmen choose rooms first, is it basically impossible to get an apartment-style dorm as a freshman if you’re not in honors housing? I figured most people would go for the extra privacy if they had the chance, so I’m trying to figure out whether I should keep my hopes up for registration. Thanks!!

GT math distance

Hey can tell me someone how competivr it is for dual enrollment math on GT?

I’m a junior Sat 720, 4.285 gpa, and 4 maybe 5 on BC.

Do you all who were already accepted into the class know my changes? I’ve heard a lot of different things, like i’ve heard of schools where no one got rejected and schools where they say you need a 1450 sat at least.

For those of you took it, do you guys know people who actually got rejected?

Do I need a car if i’m living on campus?

I’m an incoming freshman and my car just broke down and is prohibitively expensive to fix. Will i be able to get by without a car living on campus? My parents live about 45 minutes away from campus.

Georgia Tech OOS Waitlist

Has anybody OOS gotten off of the Georgia Tech Waitlist yet? I’m waitlisted for CompE and haven’t heard of anyone OOS getting in yet. I also didn’t get the Verto study abroad program email, is that a bad sign?

I’m mainly curious if people are getting in and I’m just not one of them or if they haven’t started yet at all

I'm transferring for Fall and wondering if I can take classes over the summer at my current school. Will it be a problem if I'll be taking classes at a different school while accepted to GT?

I'll have signed up for the classes before I'll be accepted into GT, but I won't get the grades back until the end of summer after I'm accepted. I'm just wondering that since I'll be a GT student while taking these classes/when I get the grades back, they won't be eligible for transfer credit anymore.

I’m on academic probation…

I transferred to tech in summer 25 and ever since I haven’t been doing so hot. I’ve mostly withdrawn classes, failed one, and got some Ds and obviously I’m on probation right now. My SAP is also at a warning status.

I’m due to qualify for the HOPE scholarship in the fall and I really need this. I’m weighing between taking two classes this summer to get my GPA up (however I will be traveling), and waiting until the fall (I’m limited in the number of classes I can take and I’m afraid I’ll fall behind). What option seems sensible?

Tips for an incoming freshman taking PHYS 2211 next year?

I heard it’s a very hard class. Anyone got anyone tips/tricks/suggestions on how I can get an A? Any specific teacher I should try to get for this class, etc? All help is appreciated.

Also, is the material online or is there a way to study the course on khan academy or something?

I struggled with physics in HS, so I want to do better in college.

Thanks!

MATH 1552

SS 1XXX

MATH 1554

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

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.
