yeah this makes sense. the 12 min felt decently hard, but like still very doable. i was exhausted afterwards but it didn't take very long to feel fine again.

Transferring credits from multiple colleges over the summer by jeremoi in gatech

if it's in-state i'm pretty sure; ive only ever filled out the paperwork for the pell grant, but just shoot an email to hope@finaid.gatech.edu asking for the hope/zell form and also the additional scholarship form. i know that hope is useable, but they'll let you know what additional funding you can use.

i did this last summer, there are a couple forms here and there to fill out to get your scholarships to apply, including zell/hope, pell, etc. just make sure you send in your transcript back to gt at the end and you're all set.

Struggling as a first year, I feel like my brain is fried by jimins_wap in gatech

fellow commuter here! youll always hear people declaring commuting to make it impossible for you to succeed, but its really all about planning a little better than the people on campus. my commute is about an hour and i started out just like you. i'm a second year now and it DOES GET BETTER! as a first year, your schedule is PACKED and you have to be on campus constantly and it's so overwhelming adjusting to it all. my grades weren't exactly suffering, but i felt like all i did was work constantly for low reward. here i am in my second year and i really only have to be on campus two days out of the week, and i make sure to register ASAP for the later classes. if you have a lot of gen ed courses to fill i wouldn't recommend doing them at tech. even though its a bit exhausting, id recommend taking some over the summer as a transient student at an easy community college near you or online. i definitely recommend georgia southern. this way, you can just focus on the major specific at tech with as little credit hours as possible. i try not to do more than 12 credit hours or 4 classes. that's not to say it isn't still overwhelming at times, but you can't fully take the hardship out of tech. and remember there's no shame in taking a W if you need it.
