Wow you're communication and presentation skills are amazing! Not something everyone had at Georgia Tech when I was there last century. Spot on with all of your comments. -BSChE 2004
I got differed but offered admission through the first generation pathway program. Act 28 GPA 3.83 weighted Good essay and a lot of comp sci oriented extracurriculars
Hey Kyle, can you talk about how students of MS Analytics are? How do they like their programs? And what advice they can give to those who are aspiring to be in that program? Thanks
Unfortunately I haven't met anyone pursuing that and never looked into it for myself (I'm undergrad CS), but if anyone else who watches this video knows anything about it feel free to respond to this comment thread with your thoughts!
Thank you Kyle for sharing your videos! My son has just been admitted to GT for the 2022 fall semester. He plans to pursue a BS in Electrical Engineering. We come from abroad, so having you sharing your experience and insight has been most valuable and useful to us. On top of that, the quality of your videos is outstanding. Thank you again!
Hi there! I’m trying to apply for 2023fall, may I ask what efforts did your son do to enable him to be admitted to GT successfully? Thank you so so much!
Welcome to the Tech community. I am an alumnus of both Georgia Tech and another highly regarded institution that happens to be in Cambridge MA. The atmosphere at tech is more collaborative. It's as though the students have the attitude that "we are all in this tough procress together, and we can all succeed if we all work together." Recently, I had lunch with Tech's relatively new President, Dr. Angel Cabrera. He relates well to all the students, and he was, many years ago, an international student at Georgia Tech.
Since I'm a Comp Sci major I can't speak firsthand on the aerospace program, but from everything I've heard/seen it's very strong. I believe we're considered the #2 program in the US, which is in line with most of our other engineering programs if you ended up choosing another discipline. I've actually only ever met one AE at Georgia Tech (he was one of my TAs several years ago), so unfortunately I can't get any insight from someone who actually is in the program, but if anyone here knows about aerospace engineering at GT they can feel free to contribute! In terms of social events, at least in the pre-COVID era there were a lot of them, and you just decided to go to what interested you. I'm not sure what kind of social events you're referring to, but we had a mix of academic (like TEDx talks or seminars), non-academic (like playing with puppies or group-yoga), and job-oriented (job fairs and company-specific recruiting sessions) options available to us.
I want to go to Georgia Tech but my grades aren’t that great compared to my classmates. In both my freshman and junior year I struggled with depression and deaths in my family and it really sapped my motivation to do schoolwork. I’m going to take the SAT and ACT multiple times to get the best scores I can but I’m worried that my GPA will get me rejected. I also am going to take a gap year and live with family in Georgia to establish residency. Do you think I have any chance of getting in?
First off, I'm sorry to hear about what you've had to go through, and I hope you (and anyone else reading this) is able to get help if you feel that you need it. In terms of your question, there's no defined formula when it comes to accepting students. I've seen students with perfect SATs and 4.0s get turned away, and I also know students with far lower scores who were accepted and do well. That being said, Georgia residency generally increases your chances of being admitted, and it'll also significantly reduce the cost of tuition. Do your best with the SAT/ACT, but make sure you don't neglect the essay components of the application. Taking that seriously and writing a polished, original piece can make a bigger difference than getting a higher score on a test. Even if you don't get in at Tech, there's also the possibility of a conditional transfer, which I believe would have you start at another college for a year and would allow you to transfer to GT if your GPA is strong enough. Whatever happens, best of luck to you!
Dear Kyle, thank you for giving us the opportunity to ask you questions. Is there a degree combining Business and Engineering at GT? When graduating you get both degrees?
That can be a bit of a tricky question, but I think if you're willing to put in the work, then yes. I feel that I've gotten a lot of great opportunities and learned a lot from being at Tech, but at the same time college is only what you make of it. In terms of how much I study, it definitely is a lot, but some people would probably say I overstudy. It also depends on the courseload; some semesters my classes barely have any tests/quizzes, and other times I have things every week. Realistically I don't have a set number of hours I'll study for a test, but generally in the days leading up to an exam all/most of my free time gets sacrificed to become studying time.
Hey! I'm an out-of-state student so I might be able to offer some insight. I am an IE major, so this isn't super CS specific but I know many people within the college of computing. I was initially able to justify the amount I would take out in loans because of the average starting salary most people make (CS is one of the higher ones, so that's good for you). You do spend more time studying than at a typical college, with that being said I've ended up working two jobs for my college career (excluding freshmen year) because the amount of debt started to scare me. You can make pretty good money with internships over the summer (I would say average for a CS internship is around $20/hr), but it can be hard to get an internship between freshmen/sophmore year. I ended up taking a year off and working full time so I could qualify for in-state tuition. Obviously, there are a lot of factors that come into play here, if your family is helping you pay and debt isn't much of an issue for you then that's a huge help. I didn't/don't have that luxury. But you have lots of options regarding a part-time job, and if you qualify for a work-study that makes it even easier. Overall, I would say yes, especially for CS majors, I know a lot of CS majors that got six-figure offers upon graduation. But I do think you have to be more strategic than an in-state student. Sorry if this answer was long, if you want to chat more and give more specifics about your situation so I can give more tailored advice feel free to DM me on instagram @peytonkliewer27
What’s up man I am I CC student from out of state and I want to transfer to Georgia tech for a major I’m electronical engineering . Do you have any information about who I can contact for a 8 semester plan for that program ?
I want to transfer to GT, and I was found great I had a 3.6 GPA on my first semester of college but by my second semester I went through a lot, depression, anciaty, family problem, financial problems to the point that my grades went down and affected my gpa but my third semester I only got As but yet my gpa is still affected and I’m scare I won’t be accepted. I’m going to a community college and I was thinking on transferring but gt is only one of the only school that has my major in Georgia so I don’t know what to do or even if I have a chance. I need help
Co-ops/internships are definitely very useful as they can give you a different perspective and skillset compared to what you get during college. Industry experience will also help you when trying to land a full-time role (or other internships), and I would highly recommend pursuing internships/co-ops. Having done one each summer of college, I think it made a huge difference in my education and my career.
I got into Georgia Tech off from waitlist, but don't know what major I want to do, is it possible to add an aerospace engineering major, Physics major, Chemistry major, Materials Science Engineering major, Industrial Engineering or Computer Engineering? If I complete all the classes required, am I guaranteed this major as a double major or to switch into this?
Hello there my name is Bryant Gutierrez and I am very interested in staying in accounting and I heard that Georgia Tech ( although being an engineer school) has a pretty good business school? So I would like to ask how is the business school and the accounting program?
The Scheller School of Business is solid. I think accounting is more of a graduate program, but I would assume it's solid as well. A lot of people from Scheller go into consulting and other business ventures. Good luck bud
I would like to go for biology / premed but I see tons of people say it’s hard to keep a good gpa for pre med. so idk if it’d be better going to another easier school like mercer
I actually know someone who was deferred and got in during Regular Decision, so it definitely does happen! In terms of advice, from what I remember you'll have an opportunity to submit another written piece for them to take into consideration - Make sure you spend a lot of time making this as polished as possible. Writing something truly compelling that demonstrates your character, ambitions, and interest in Georgia Tech will resonate a lot more with the person reviewing your application than just recycling a variant of what you wrote the first time. Of course, there's still no guarantee that this will work, but to my knowledge that's probably your best shot at convincing them to give you a chance. Best of luck!
I personally got deferred and then waitlisted and finally got in on May 14 (exactly two months after pi day). Getting off the waitlist is ofc easier said than done, and this sounds cliche, but don’t loose hope! I paid my commitment deposit to a different school so I lost that money, but I’ve heard of people who got in as late as June or July (that is rare though). If you can, I suggest emailing individual professors or faculty rather than the official office. Sometimes they can be more helpful
I have a genuine question ive been wanting to get answered, i missed the deadline to apply for gatech so i considered doing Gwinnett Tech for 2 years than seeing if i could transfer to gatech would this work?
I've always felt safe on campus - Georgia Tech has their own police department (GTPD), and they're very active. That being said, you are in the middle of Atlanta, which means you won't be as safe once you walk off campus, but within the campus boundaries I never worried about walking around at night or anything.
I'm not entirely sure of what situation you're describing, but people definitely do transfer credits from community colleges to Tech. There are some rules about needing to take a certain number of credits at Tech to have your degree come from there (and I think some credits might not transfer for certain courses), but this is all stuff I've heard through word of mouth over the years since I never personally did it.
@@KyleKeirstead so i wanna biochemistry degree and Georgia tech has those course by major requirement. It’s calculus and chemistry so I can take those at a community college and they would transfer over to tech
Unfortunately I can't give you an exact answer, so you should probably check with someone official from GT, but I will say I was able to get Calculus and Chemistry credit coming into Tech. That was technically from AP and SAT subject tests, but it leads me to guess you could hopefully transfer those credits.
It definitely is; I never went for co-ops specifically, but I know others who did as early as after freshman year. In terms of internships, I was able to land three different summer internships after my freshman, sophomore, and junior year
@@cr69148 Georgia Tech has a very strong co-op program, and prospective employers recognize the value of that experience. The result is that co-op graduates have higher starting salaries than other graduates, all else being equal. The Admissions Office can direct you to more information on the co-op program.
Hey buddy Which college do you think is the best for a person who wants to have good grades but not studying for all day and missing all the fun he/she could have
@Sasha Callaway there's mask requirements, optional spit testing that i do every week, and restrictions on student capacity for buildings and dorms. i honestly don't think it's impacted me that much socially besides classes, which have been almost entirely online for me. i've found that tech is much more lenient overall than other schools and we had some high covid numbers at first but they went way down by the end of the semester
@Sasha Callaway In terms of crime, we’re right next to the city so there have been a few incidents directly off campus. But I personally feel pretty safe on-campus I just make sure I don’t walk alone at night and I use a free rideshare service that tech offers to get to buildings on campus if they are far away at night. Even tho you can walk right into the city from campus, it definitely feels like it’s own part of atlanta and pretty much only students come onto campus grounds, if that makes sense
Im majoring in neuroscience next year! How is it in general? I heard the major is pretty new, and I plan to go premed but Im scared my gpa will be lowww
Considering for my son because GT is one of the few elite schools that doesn’t mandate vaccines. He has 1580 SAT and other great creds that could quality for MIT etc but they all inexplicably require mRNA. You’d think GT attendees must be dropping dead without all those vaccines and boosters! 🙄
@@thatericchen operating systems CS3210 to give one example but it’s a wider problem with the American schooling system where the main focus is on testing and ranking rather than genuine learning. There’s books and papers that I’ve seen recently on the topic hopefully hinge will change in the future where we also inspire people and develop their critical thinking skills rather than just graduate process people
Georgia Tech is full of people who were valedictorians in their high school with high SAT scores. However, being "smart" is not good enough. All Tech students must work hard to survive. Those who don't, fall by the wayside. That is one reason Tech alumni are in such high demand. (And why Tech now receives more research grants than any other school in the country. MIT, another fine school, is Number 2.)--Ken Stephens, Physics 1967.
@@adios04 I can back up my take with facts and is also supported in principle by people w more authority than mine; but hey I know you’ve been brain washed to believe things which you cannot justify yourself
There are Tech alumni all over the country (and the world). Contact the Admissions Office. They can provide everything you need. The Georgia Tech National Alumni Association (link on the Georgia Tech website) can give you the name of an alumni volunteer who will be happy to counsel you on admission. (Ken Stephens, Physics Alumnus)
Is it easy to switch majors at Georgia Tech? For instance, changing your major within engineering or changing your major from engineering to CS? What requirements are there and what majors are known to be difficult/impossible to switch into?
Haha well I guess I'm not sure what in particular you want to know about foreign students, but we do have a good amount here! Campus in general is pretty diverse, but I think half (or maybe a little less than half) of people are from Georgia. Tuition (to my knowledge) is higher for international students than it is for in-state students, but that's also true for anyone who lives out of state (I'm from Pennsylvania, so I'm also subject to the higher tuition rate). If any other foreign students want to chime in on this thread with your experiences, I'd greatly appreciate it :)
@@KyleKeirstead thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I actually wanted to know about scholarship/ funding etc. for foreigners. It's not possible for me to bear that much expenses. Any advice for me?
Gotcha. As someone who isn't an international student, I can't speak to that from personal experience, but to my knowledge it seems that there are scholarship opportunities. If you've looked into this before, you might've already stumbled upon this link, but I figured I'd put it here just in case: oie.gatech.edu/content/financial-assistance-international-students, specifically the section for Scholarships and Financial Assistance Resources for International Students. You could also potentially get a part-time job during the school-year to help cover expenses, but I realize in the grand scheme of things that's not going to come anywhere close to paying full-tuition. Hopefully you can make it work though!
Hey bro, does gatech have master degree in cyber security? And if they do have, can I apply with less than grade scale requirements, will I be considered or get rejected coz of grade scale requirements, please help me out here.
@Oluwakamisi Afolabi ah gotcha, I’m an Astrophysics major, so I just have to take general chem, general physics, and calc 1. But it looks like my best option rn so see you next Fall maybe!
@@KM-wb1yd yooo that’s so cool! I just committed to UTK astrophysics and might switch to Georgia tech next year if I don’t like it but idk cause I have enough college credits to graduate in 2 years lol
Soon to be high school senior who enjoys cs to answer your question! I would say Python is a great entry level programming language and one of the most commomly used ones. I took both AP CSP and AP CSA where we learned how to program in javascript and in java, but before those I took foundations of programming where we used python and loved it. Python is a great all rounder, it's object oriented, and the syntax is not too difficult to understand.
If you want a solid foundation, then choose a statically typed language like c++ or java. but if you just wanna start developing stuff right away and dont care much about speed or size, then learn javascript or python :)
AHHH I just got in for biomedical engineering earlier today :))))))))

@Sasha Callaway there's mask requirements, optional spit testing that i do every week, and restrictions on student capacity for buildings and dorms. i honestly don't think it's impacted me that much socially besides classes, which have been almost entirely online for me. i've found that tech is much more lenient overall than other schools and we had some high covid numbers at first but they went way down by the end of the semester
@Sasha Callaway In terms of crime, we’re right next to the city so there have been a few incidents directly off campus. But I personally feel pretty safe on-campus I just make sure I don’t walk alone at night and I use a free rideshare service that tech offers to get to buildings on campus if they are far away at night. Even tho you can walk right into the city from campus, it definitely feels like it’s own part of atlanta and pretty much only students come onto campus grounds, if that makes sense
Do you know what a lot of neuro majors go on to do post graduation besides premed?
Do you know if a can apply for a merit scholarship by having good grades?
Im majoring in neuroscience next year! How is it in general? I heard the major is pretty new, and I plan to go premed but Im scared my gpa will be lowww
Considering for my son because GT is one of the few elite schools that doesn’t mandate vaccines. He has 1580 SAT and other great creds that could quality for MIT etc but they all inexplicably require mRNA. You’d think GT attendees must be dropping dead without all those vaccines and boosters! 🙄
shitty place kids don’t do it…go some place they care about your education not just testing you
damn which professor fked u up bud
@@thatericchen operating systems CS3210 to give one example but it’s a wider problem with the American schooling system where the main focus is on testing and ranking rather than genuine learning. There’s books and papers that I’ve seen recently on the topic hopefully hinge will change in the future where we also inspire people and develop their critical thinking skills rather than just graduate process people
Georgia Tech is full of people who were valedictorians in their high school with high SAT scores. However, being "smart" is not good enough. All Tech students must work hard to survive. Those who don't, fall by the wayside. That is one reason Tech alumni are in such high demand. (And why Tech now receives more research grants than any other school in the country. MIT, another fine school, is Number 2.)--Ken Stephens, Physics 1967.
L take
@@adios04 I can back up my take with facts and is also supported in principle by people w more authority than mine; but hey I know you’ve been brain washed to believe things which you cannot justify yourself
If you come please bring and please wear deodorant
Thank you so much for the details you have given in this Vedio. Can I contact you in person to know more about getting in to Georgia Tech.
There are Tech alumni all over the country (and the world). Contact the Admissions Office. They can provide everything you need. The Georgia Tech National Alumni Association (link on the Georgia Tech website) can give you the name of an alumni volunteer who will be happy to counsel you on admission.

Just got in for mech engineering! Super hyped :)
Same here! Hope I see you there :D
@@belladoodles3369 Yay! super hype :)
Same I got into aerospace engineering on the summer.🥳🥳
@@giagarino3225 hi, would you mind if you can share some stats like gpa and sat score please? Thank you
Can you please share some stats like gpa and sat score please? Thank you
Contemplating art or architecture. Thanks for this
Is it easy to switch majors at Georgia Tech? For instance, changing your major within engineering or changing your major from engineering to CS? What requirements are there and what majors are known to be difficult/impossible to switch into?
Kyle didn’t say this directly, but I will say it: “Mother Tech eats her young …”
As a 4th year, I can say to all accepted freshmen, "welcome to hell"
And all that hard work pays off in great jobs. Employers LOVE the Georgia Tech work ethic.
@@composer1663 yup! Can tell you myself it's netted a 23% salary increase after one year of working.
i got accepted in EA but not sure if i should go to gatech
I just got in
Thanks for this video. It helped me a little but I'll figure our more
Hey bro! What about foreign students?
Haha well I guess I'm not sure what in particular you want to know about foreign students, but we do have a good amount here! Campus in general is pretty diverse, but I think half (or maybe a little less than half) of people are from Georgia. Tuition (to my knowledge) is higher for international students than it is for in-state students, but that's also true for anyone who lives out of state (I'm from Pennsylvania, so I'm also subject to the higher tuition rate). If any other foreign students want to chime in on this thread with your experiences, I'd greatly appreciate it :)
@@KyleKeirstead thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it.
I actually wanted to know about scholarship/ funding etc. for foreigners. It's not possible for me to bear that much expenses. Any advice for me?
Gotcha. As someone who isn't an international student, I can't speak to that from personal experience, but to my knowledge it seems that there are scholarship opportunities. If you've looked into this before, you might've already stumbled upon this link, but I figured I'd put it here just in case: oie.gatech.edu/content/financial-assistance-international-students, specifically the section for Scholarships and Financial Assistance Resources for International Students. You could also potentially get a part-time job during the school-year to help cover expenses, but I realize in the grand scheme of things that's not going to come anywhere close to paying full-tuition. Hopefully you can make it work though!
@@KyleKeirstead thanks man
Take love❤️❤️
Hi
Is GT known for its Business major?
Is it well-regarded?
Hey bro, does gatech have master degree in cyber security? And if they do have, can I apply with less than grade scale requirements, will I be considered or get rejected coz of grade scale requirements, please help me out here.
Considering Tech for grad school. Not sure how much info you have in that area but still I appreciate your insight into GA Tech!
i have a recent video with a second year grad student!
@@madebyymira thank you so much!
I don’t think you understand….
*I am a raging masochist*
I am considering Gtech over Caltech. Am I thinking in the right direction?
Hey can u tell that can one study humanities courses in Georgia tech????
I don't feel like these questions pertains anything to the yellow jackets at all. It's more general college.
Very insightful!! ❤
Hi. Loved the video. Can you pls help us to know more about it's pathway programs and how to go about it. Thanks :)
I got in for next year (guaranteed transfer) after a year at a different college. Now I’m MAD confused
@Oluwakamisi Afolabi really? What major??? For me it’s just 3 classes
@Oluwakamisi Afolabi ah gotcha, I’m an Astrophysics major, so I just have to take general chem, general physics, and calc 1. But it looks like my best option rn so see you next Fall maybe!
Raghav yo astrophysics?? No way I’m doing the same exact major there!! See you in 2022 maybe? :)))
I’ve just finished that process and I’m “at Tech” rn. I wanna say youll get less confused but I’m honestly in pretty much the same boat with COVID
@@KM-wb1yd yooo that’s so cool! I just committed to UTK astrophysics and might switch to Georgia tech next year if I don’t like it but idk cause I have enough college credits to graduate in 2 years lol
Does GT have a quantum physics class?
Yes
Got in for CS, thanks for the vid
same :))
In your experience, what do you feel is the most useful coding language to learn in high school?
Soon to be high school senior who enjoys cs to answer your question! I would say Python is a great entry level programming language and one of the most commomly used ones. I took both AP CSP and AP CSA where we learned how to program in javascript and in java, but before those I took foundations of programming where we used python and loved it. Python is a great all rounder, it's object oriented, and the syntax is not too difficult to understand.
If you want a solid foundation, then choose a statically typed language like c++ or java. but if you just wanna start developing stuff right away and dont care much about speed or size, then learn javascript or python :)
either python, js, or java - i'd recommend getting exposed to all 3 tbh
python!! maybe i'm biased tho bc i use it a lot
