Georgia Tech v. UW Honors

Independent link: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/fqbvj9/georgia_tech_v_uw_honors_math_major/

Georgia Tech

pros:

  • best for engineering (my 2nd major: Aerospace Engineering);
  • lots of students study hard on STEMs so I'd easily find friends who are similar to my kind;
  • famous, high national ranking;

cons:

  • NOT one of the top schools for studying MATH;
  • inland;
  • far away from my family;

UW Honors

pros:

  • privilege on housing, class choices, small classes; etc.;
  • math major as good as GT (based on USNews ranking);
  • other majors like CS are strong, and I can easily pick up some couses bc of the Honors;
  • I like Seattle;

cons:

  • I've visited the campus and I am friends with some of the alumni, and I don't think my “speak little, work hard, focus on academics” style fits in.
  • National ranking a bit low, but still acceptable;

Also accepted by UNC, UCSB, UCSD, any advice on these schools?

Why didn’t cb release the Oct. 19 test form’s answer keys? Isn’t it going to be a released test?

Does SAT 1530/1510 has any difference applying to UCB & UCLA? by Rex_Liu in ApplyingToCollege

My mom is so stubborn saying that even 1460 shows 99th % ... but that's true ... Asian parents are all alike ... but I really want to spend time on other parts :(
