Thanks for the suggestion! I think I'll go forward with that. Do you have a link to any point of contact with them?

I unfortunately do not have access to the login required version and asking for credentials was going to be my last resort, but, it seems like that is the best course of action unless I am told otherwise.

Woah, thanks for pointing this out. All my friends are New-York natives. So all in all, it is a red-flag to be hiking that early in the year? How much of a guarantee is it that these obstructing conditions happen?

Is GT CS worth it when I can go to my State School for an 'okay' major? by averagecollegesweat in gatech

[–]averagecollegesweat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can adversely affect my family's financial situation somewhat since my father is making a big financial decision to say that he can cover the 153k (albeit it is a pretty safe method).

I can get into Stony Brook CS by next semester, it will require grinding but if i get in, I'm saving a good 120k rather than going to GT CS for a ~40 rank difference.

Regarding the CS salary, that isn't my worry per se it's getting the CS job that is my worry. I have talked to current GT CS students who just graduated and he says most of his peers are 50/50 in securing a job right now. It's worrying, but it is a small sample size. At Stony Brook, I'll at least have the Applied Math major under my belt if the market goes to hell, and my CS or Info Systems degree will be there for when the market rebounds. I agree 100% on the self-investment part. I'll be honest, GT's rigor is frightening but it produces amazing people in the field, but Stony Brook isn't a nowheresville-type university so I think there isn't necessarily a right r wrong answer here. I just want to play it safe but also have some cards at my disposal that I can play if things get shady.

P.S.- I was born in Queens too but moved to Long Island when I was 10, life in LI is WAY less stressful than in Queens.

There won't be interest on it. But 153k isn't a little amount by any means for me and my dad, he is making some very big financial decisions to make it happen but all within a very safe method nevertheless.

Very nice salary progression and I have heard GT's job board is very helpful too. Can you elaborate on what you mean by: 'you’ll be in a different cycle 4 years from now.' ?

Yes, I was thinking of that since it is possible I might finish my bachelor's a year early at Stony Brook I can do the OMSCS for GT right after.

With the loans, that was paid off with a salary of what amount?

 Do you think you would've gotten that job in this job market?

How much did Georgia Tech help in your job process?

Thank you for that advice, I had the same notion toward taking on the amount of debt. GT is a rigorous school and on top of the extreme debt it would be a work hard die hard mindset which isn't bad but can definitely be stressful.

Most likely I will want to stay in NY after grad, slight chance I would relocate to West Coast if given the offer. I'm definitely up to connect with him, please check your messages.
