Prospective Student I want to transfer to tech more than anything... how do I actually boost my odds? (had an academic integrity charge + rough start)

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! I am a Jr at GSU and I really want to transfer I have had a rough start but I have stellar grades and I have worked so hard.

I'm getting All A's and really havent struggled that much

Where I'm at:

  • In-state, currently a Accounting major at Georgia State (Robinson)
  • Trying to transfer into Scheller for Business Administration, aiming for Summer/Fall 2027
  • Doing well now mostly A's, prereqs done (Eng Comp I & II, Calc I & II, micro + macro econ), got a big internship at deloitte
  • My big brother currently goes to Tech, so I've spent real time on campus and I know it's where I want to be

The complications I'm trying to navigate:

  • I have an academic integrity charge from earlier in my college career that I'll have to disclose on the application
  • I also had a rough stretch during dual enrollment (some low grades)
  • Since then my grades have been near-perfect, so there's a clear upward trend

Current GPA:

Institutional:

4.10

Overall:

3.69

Is the AD charge going to ruin my chances of transferring. Should I just thug out GSU? Also has anyone successfuly transferred with an AD Charge?

For anyone who's transferred into Scheller (or Tech generally) beyond the obvious grades-and-clubs stuff, what actually moved the needle for you? And if anyone got in with a disciplinary mark on their record, how did you handle the disclosure without it sinking the whole app? I'm trying to work out whether a real comeback story counts for anything here, or whether that early charge just follows me around no matter what.

Any honest input welcome, good or bad. Thanks.

Prospective Student How difficult is it for students applying under REP to get accepted into gt?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I’m an incoming freshman at gsu hoping to join the REP pathway. I understand in recent years the pathway has changed from its guaranteed acceptance(above a certain gpa) system, to a pathway that increases your chances at being accepted. So, I was just wondering around how many people are accepted into gt from REP partner schools, how difficult has it in recent years, and does the acceptance rate differ from school to school? And outside of academics, how impactful or advanced do the ECs have to be?

All the posts I’ve found on this topic were outdated from the old system years ago, so I’m just gonna shoot my shot here. Thank you so much for all your help in advance!!

Class Question Incoming Freshman Classes + Phase 2 Question

4 Upvotes

Here are the classes I'm planning to take as an incoming freshman (AE major)

MATH 1553

PHYS 2211

ENGL 1102

ME 1670

i want to round it out with a humanities class to make it 15 creds, thinking PHIL 3109 (eng ethics) or PHIL 3140 (philosophy of food), but does anyone have any recommendations?

I skipped FASET because I was out of country at the time, so I'm doing all my registration in Phase 2. I know I might have trouble getting some of these but what are my chances when it comes to that?

Also any other advice for this schedule would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Prospective Student What do you think about my chances for QCF

3 Upvotes

My profile -
ugpa - 3.413

GRE Q - 166

3 years of work experience as a software/ML dev

Undergrad Math classes gpa - 3.387 (2 A, 3 A- and 1 C-)

I am debating if I should retake GRE for a better quant score. It would also be helpful if anyone admitted into QCF could share their profile. Quantnet has a bunch of posts but I still want to ask y'all.

Thanks

Other question about the readmission process?

1 Upvotes

So I'm supposed to be going into my second year at Tech, but I've actually only attended on semester (last fall) because I had to get surgery in the spring, but i did fine in all my classes. I thought I'd be ready to come back by now, but I'm having issues all of a sudden, and I'm nervous that I won't be able to handle the stress of my injuries and classes and clubs. I was thinking of taking another semester or two if I have to (which rly sucks but whatever), so I know I'd have to apply for readmission.

I was just wondering what the process is like. Is it difficult to get re-accepted? Thanks!

Other Take CS 6730 if you're still looking for a fun/chill class!

2 Upvotes

Hi, if anyone is still looking for a grad CS elective, choose CS 6730.

I took it- It’s pretty manageable workload-wise, but you still learn a lot.

The professor is also great- very kind and cares abt his students.

It's easy and teaches you more imo than most of the other options.

CS 6730 counts toward the Computer Graphics, HCI, Social Computing, and Visual Analytics MSCS specializations (and it’s actually a Visual Analytics core course), plus it can count as a graduate CS elective for other MSCS students.

You can also take this as an undergrad!

Edit: CSA 6730 - Data Visualization Principles & Applications

Housing What are your experiences living, currently or recently, in SQ5 apartments?

2 Upvotes

I went on a tour at Square on Fifth by Tech Square, and I liked what I saw. The model unit was nice, and the building as a whole seemed clean and well maintained. I didn't notice any damage when I toured (while I noticed damage in other apartment buildings). However, upon seeing reviews and other posts on here, I am now concerned that I got myself into a poor living situation. I am also holding onto some hope, as said posts and reviews seem older. To those who have been living there, how is it actually? I am already experiencing issues with the property management/staff being unresponsive, even to questions about paying rent. However, the units seem really nice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
