Just to add you could’ve done TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee) to both GaTech and UGA from Georgia Perimeter (community college) and saved a bunch on tuition or get in via transferring to a difficult school. I went to KSU to be with my wife (girlfriend at the time) and did Information Systems. Had I known I would love software engineering I might have done CS elsewhere.
Are you still in Atlanta? If so what kind of tech do you work on?
- uwuhn 7y agoI did TAG too (in California).
- filoleg 7y agoOh yeah, I definitely heard about TAG program before, but it is fairly tricky, as I felt that the first years at GT are the ones that shape you up and give you a very strong head-start in terms of internships and such. I've known quite a few people who went through TAG, and a lot of them struggled at GT pretty majorly after transferring, because they weren't hit with the GT intensity hammer straight to their temple when they started college. While students who went through GT from the very beginning already embraced the hammer hits to the head by that point and even started hitting themselves with it. Definitely not a hard rule though, I've met quite a few TAG transfers who were just as resilient and successful in their college career. As for ATL, unfortunately no. I moved to Seattle right after graduation for a couple of reasons. Starting with the career opportunities and ending with the desire for a change of scenery.
