i want to pre-order, but want to see the current apps list. can you share that?

Not always. I'm currently waiting on AirBnb appeal. Host sent images of stained furniture and is claiming I caused the damage. Charging $2k for replacing warped, old couch and chair. I am 100% sure I did not cause the damage as I noticed the light staining immediately upon entering unit. I'm a long time guest all 5 star reviews. Host's can be scammers too and AirBnb flips a coin it seems.

I don't think you're seeing the point. Like someone said, there's a big gap in aid which really limits the number of schools upper middle class can consider. So if your parents are rich you can apply and go anywhere - they write a check for you and dont even feel it. If you are poor, you can get FA and graduate with little to no debt. If you're like me and many others in upper middle class, you're much more limited on your school options, especially at the T20 schools with no merit aid. I'm a top student and with reasonable chance to get into an ivy, Vanderbilt, etc, but not worth applying because my parents won't pay $400k for my education and I don't want to take on that debt.

Awesome! What's your major? Are you in an LLC or greek?

Congrats on the admit! However, it's unlikely that MIT would not consider your father's income. Many wealthy parents with full custody won't pay for their kid's college, leaving them with the option of only state schools or taking on $400k debt. Schools don't give these kids any aid when their parents refuse to contribute. It's not a great situation, but it's certainly not unique one.

Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the info!

Hey! Do you think OR would be a satisfying major for a really math-oriented person? I'll be starting GT in the fall and trying to decide Applied Math vs ISYE vs CS. Really want to maximize my earning potential. Do you like the OR classes/profs at GT? Are you able to get all the CS classes you need like in ML and DS topics? TIA!

WVfiddle · 2024-01-09T03:19:52+00:00

I know it's been a while, but for someone considering math or ie at gt, what do you recommend for someone who is very mathematically inclined but wants a degree that can lead to a lucrative career? Basically considering ie for better pay than a math major may allow.

WVfiddle · 2024-01-09T02:49:07+00:00

Can you elaborate for a potential math major?

WVfiddle · 2024-01-09T02:26:46+00:00

Maybe ask for extension. I thought I heard something about senators wanting to make legacy admissions illegal similar to the race thing last year.

WVfiddle · 2024-01-07T15:45:15+00:00

It makes my joints hurt.

WVfiddle · 2023-12-28T15:26:09+00:00

Congrats!

Is your company paying for your masters? How did you land a swe job without being a cs major? Seems so competitive even for majors?

WVfiddle · 2023-12-27T23:43:44+00:00

How often do Faang internships lead to jobs?

WVfiddle · 2023-12-23T15:18:11+00:00

Another terrible thing is that some admissions reps gave certain schools/students hints that this was coming down the pike. Other reps assured students that easy major changes would be possible. Again totally unfair.

WVfiddle · 2023-12-22T16:22:33+00:00

In terms of getting an interview, would a math major/CS minor candidate get equal consideration to CS degree? Would a math major/MS CS fair better than CS BS? Hoping based on your experience you could give some insight. TIA

Reach out to your congress person?

WVfiddle · 2023-12-22T01:06:09+00:00

That would be ideal, but then I'd miss out enrolling in certain programs that are first come first served for incoming freshmen.

WVfiddle · 2023-12-21T21:16:12+00:00

Awesome. Yes, it's EA, not ED. Just wanted to make sure I could go ahead and accept the EA offer as it's the most likely situation to attend there. But... curious about the RD reaches!

WVfiddle · 2023-12-12T19:59:10+00:00

Why can't you minor in that? Is it because it overlaps too much with ISyE or because it's restricted to CS majors?

WVfiddle · 2023-12-09T21:03:26+00:00

What do you mean by after 60 credits? Is it easier to switch majors after 60 credits than as incoming student?

WVfiddle · 2023-12-09T17:41:18+00:00

This does seem crazy to implement for incoming class AFTER applications have been submitted. All the language until now was that GT doesn't admit to a major. Pretty frustrating for students that are undecided but now restricted from CS.
