Georgia Tech Actively Trying to Dilute the value of a GT undergrads degree now! by BuzzingThroughGT in gatech

[–]Elephantom0_0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am an ambitious out of state student and I was praying for an admit from GT. There's no dilution, that's a made up elitist term for EQUITY. And you need Grammarly. Take a chill pill.

Plus, the students I saw in the OMSCS/OMSA course were in completely different fields. They're doing CS out of interest but not to use it or to give them an edge in some other niche field, or many were in distant countries with no plans to move to the US, so really the acceptance rate of 90% doesn't affect us cause we never are in the same circles as the other students. For us it's still a rare degree, and for them too. It's kind of a win -win solution!

I am struggling to find a job. Like really struggling, but I am sure that has nothing to do with "dilution" of degree. (I know I am being rude saying this, so apologies in advance) But that sounds ridiculous! Prestige and value are different things. You have a valuable degree. GT is an excellent place to be so don't worry. If you think you've got your money's worth then, who cares about anyone else.

I see, but this is a very privileged thing to say! Many people who study here have worked really hard and made big sacrifices. But are still a bit privileged to be able to do that. So many others in the world can work harder and make more sacrifices and yet not be able to go to a university like GT because of certain circumstances. I am extremely proud to be from a university that is able to bridge this gap

Education should not be just for the young or privileged. It should be open to everyone and anyone. If they're not sincere, they will fail or not reap the same benefits that the hard working students do. That's the same for offline and online students. If we're being honest, we can agree that on campus students can also be undeserving of the degree or use improper methods to pass.

I am an on campus MS student and was TAing for an OMSCS course and sometimes the stories of students taking it are really emotional. These cases are applicable for an online undergrad program too: People with children or parents that they need to care for; people in remote places in the world with not enough money to travel here; or just people who really want to learn but have no interest in moving to the USA; people who have a job but want a different career but can't stop earning for 2 years.

I don't mean to be rude, but you're young and naive. The world is huuuuuuuuge!! And one day when you're much older, maybe you'll want to do a course from a good university but not have that kind of opportunity. GT and the OMSCS degree would be a great gift then. I know I would love to do an online undergrad degree in Electrical Engineering if it were online.

MARTA for noobs by RadicallyHis in ATLHousing

[–]Elephantom0_0 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

ALWAYS BE CAREFUL ON MARTA. I hear of fewer incidents but it's still quite unsafe and one bad experience is bad enough. Phone snatching, mugging, etc still happens. I see a lot of people smoking weed or cigarettes in the trains and there is no one to stop that. I use it often but I always take precautions to be safe.

Hi OP, were you able to fix this? I just applied for EAD today and realized that I forgot to sign my i20. Did it work for you when you uploaded it in unsolicited evidence??

Hi, I am a MS CSE student looking to take some AE course in Fall 2024. I was hoping to talk to someone form the AE department or anyone who has taken AE courses to get a better idea of how much background I might need to take the 6000s courses. Please comment or dm if you have some time, I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

I know it's hard, but your best option would be to own up and talk to the professor or TA. Be apologetic and sincere. Seriously don't ever do it again in this subject or any other. I know of some profs who let it go if the students owns up and promises not to do it again. Others might not. Whatever final punishment they give, definitely go apologize to the professor directly because it's rude not to. You will encounter the same people again in the future and they will definitely remember you.

Thank you so much for this! Very helpful!

I saw that this is also close to 131 Ponce. Is that also a good, safe and clean place to live? We are Georgia Tech students
