it’s actually fairly small but when most people in georgia refer to atlanta they include the greater atlanta area as well so they’re referring to a much larger and more populated area
i was referring to metro atlanta specifically and not the surrounding suburbs haha! like walking around midtown and downtown, it’s relatively small compared to somewhere like new york or los angeles
totally agree on the point that you make about the stigma at Tech that it’ll break you and that you “get out.” It’s creates this stereotype that we’re not expected to have fun during our time here at Tech. Also, as a CS major, I have SO MUCH respect for designers, LMC, and other majors than mine - tbh give me all your secrets about how y’all do it (i can’t write or design for shit lol)
@@madebyymira Hahah. Was the same in 2003, luckily i "got out" after almost failing a mech engineering thermodynamics course, luckily turned it around pulled a B. Minefield til the very end.
hey congrats! tech feels very secluded from the rest of atlanta in my opinion, i think it’s very safe. i walk around by myself during the day and sometimes at night, but when it’s pretty late i’ll always walk w a friend. gt police is also very active and dorms only can be entered with buzzcard access
@@madebyymira Alright, that's awesome! Also, seeing as you're not involved in greek life, how does the social scene feel now that you're in your second year? Do you still get involved in events, go to parties, etc.?
Junebug i think unless you’re in greek life people don’t go out as much but they still definitely do. i live in an apartment now so i usually just hang with friends in there. people kinda settle down after first year w like meeting new people and stuff, but i joined a club and an organization this year and have made a couple new friends through that! at tech i think there’s people on both sides of the spectrum so you can really choose how much u wanna be social or not, and there’s definitely opportunities for that!
Junebug excellent question. My daughter got in the other day. Bio major. She won’t be rushing. We go visit again in February but I’m pretty sure she will be a yellow jacket! My biggest concerns are safety and the whole “breaking you” stereotype.
Thank you for this video. My daughter got accepted EA for biology. Do you have any friends with this major and if so how does it rank on the “breaking you” scale. She is very disciplined and already has a strong work ethic. She won’t be rushing but I’m hoping she will find her tribe. We are thinking west campus for housing since she won’t be rushing and likes an atmosphere more on the quiet side. Thoughts?
do you know much about the music technology program? i’m a junior in high school so i’ll be applying next year, and music technology is what i’m interested in. if you know anyone who is in the program, what do they think about it?
Isabella Bryant i do not actually know anyone in music technology, i’ve heard it’s a very small major. but it’s in the college of design i think (which i’m in) and i have to say i love being a part of a small college and major. we get a lot more personal attention w professors and our advisor is very accessible which some majors have to wait weeks for an appointment. good luck!
Heyy I’ve been considering Georgia Tech but I want to major in Business administration and minor in psychology. Do you think tech is a good school for that?
hey! though georgia tech is known most for its STEM majors, i have heard good things about the business program and i myself have checked out the psych minor! the curriculums for everything are available online :) do you have any specific questions?
You mentioned how its hard to double major or even minor and the heavy STEM emphasis @ GT. I will be an aerospace major- but I am set on minoring in a foreign language. Do you have any perspective on this?
Brenna Huang hey! If you really want to do a foreign language and can’t find room for a minor another great way to get that outlet is through their international plan. I’m not sure about the extent to which AE’s participate but I’m an incoming freshman in ME planning on doing the Chinese language IP it is a great way to get a foreign language experience (you can also get a foreign language distinction on your diploma with a few more classes) and an international experience (if you want to study abroad) all in one. I highly recommend checking it out. I can’t give you first hand experience to say whether it is worth it or not but it probably is at least worth checking out :)
how much CGPA do you need to get admission to Georgia tech for an MS in UX design? do they ask for a portfolio/work experience for someone from a nondesign/ stem background?

thanks for all of the tips! So I somehow got taken off of the waitlist a couple of days ago for environmental engineering but it is so late and I am pretty deep in the process at the school I was originally planning on going to, Virginia Tech.

Very nice perspective,, I will forward to my son who has a transfer offer for Physics major for next fall. We are also in Cali, he is in UC Irvine so trying to research on if it would be worthwhile to move to GIT next fall. Thanks for your informative video :)
I never thought I'd hear someone say Atlanta is a small city.
It is lmao

@@madebyymira Hahah. Was the same in 2003, luckily i "got out" after almost failing a mech engineering thermodynamics course, luckily turned it around pulled a B. Minefield til the very end.
Got in yesterday (yay). How's the safety scene there?

Reasons I would choose Tech, the Varsity, Grant Field.
nobody goes to the Varsity a 2nd time
How were the expenses traveling back to California to see your family 2-4 times a school year? I’m in a similar situation with you.
definitely not cheap but i fly on a cheaper airline and look for sales

For future videos, could you speak a little louder, wasn't very easy to hear and understand you! Appreciate the content though.

good question! i think minoring is definitely doable! and what izzy said, international plan is an option too
I can't hear you, can you talk louder please thanks!
i will keep this in mind thank you!
how much CGPA do you need to get admission to Georgia tech for an MS in UX design? do they ask for a portfolio/work experience for someone from a nondesign/ stem background?
so was stanford your first choice then?
at the time, yes it was.
U should enunciate more
thanks for the suggestion! still trying to get comfortable in front of the camera

I got my acceptance letter today! Hope to attend GA Tech this fall :)
congratulations, All the best
congrats!! did you end up accepting?
How is it going?
Congratulations 🥳 I hope you’re having fun
how were your stats/extracurriculars?
Is this Georgia institute of technology?
i’m going on a georgia tech tour in february and you have made me more excited for it. i’m wanting to enter the school of design as an architect major!
Sarah Galloway aw i’m glad to hear! and yes architecture is a great major! good luck
Hi! I just got accepted as an id major and was hoping to ask a few questions. Do u have an email i could reach you at?
Thanks!
i can try to answer to the best of my abilities! i dont really want to publicly comment my email. is there somewhere i can message you at?
mira d I guess the best way would be if you send me a dm on Instagram/Twitter. Both are @ewanalbright. Thanks for your help!
thanks for all of the tips! So I somehow got taken off of the waitlist a couple of days ago for environmental engineering but it is so late and I am pretty deep in the process at the school I was originally planning on going to, Virginia Tech.

What are you studying and how challenging your first yr was?
Hi! I just got into GT for CS and am wondering if I should commit. Would you say your opinion in this video still holds true today?
Very nice perspective,, I will forward to my son who has a transfer offer for Physics major for next fall. We are also in Cali, he is in UC Irvine so trying to research on if it would be worthwhile to move to GIT next fall. Thanks for your informative video :)
Yeah you got me at intensive workload. NEXT college 😂😂💨
LOL yeah i feel. it’s def manageable though and of course you can take a lighter course load too
lol. its a bitch at GT.. Where did you end up Kenyatta.. I saw some Ol Miss love on your 247
Can u switch your major once accepted?
hey current GT first year scrolling through the comments. yes you can! they make it relatively easy especially if your an engineer.
yes! gt does a great job in making it easy
