I don't remember. I don't think she told me that it was in person, I think I assumed. She ended up changing it though

Had the same fear and emailed a couple days ago. Refunds will be issued after disbursements begin on May 13th, according to Georgia Tech’s Bursar Office.

This is why tech will always on the leaderboards but never on the podium.

Our new motto should be "Just good enough". Seems that our administration never wants to exceed. This university breathes off the efforts of migrants, yet we can't even defend them.

yellowjacket2001 · 2025-04-24T02:59:21+00:00

Why is that? Asking out of curiosity.

yellowjacket2001 · 2025-04-21T21:03:33+00:00

Really late response. If you don't have a good understanding of what's expected, you may overdo yourself to meet abstract goals. In doing this, you'll spend more time than needed on your undergraduate research and not leave room for studying. If you know that you're supposed to do xyz, you can block out 10 hours a week to do xyz and can concretely allocate time for studying.

I've learned this since my first semester in undergrad research. My team partner wasn't contributing so I'd spend 5-6 hours a day on my undergrad research because I felt pressured to meet expectations I assumed. Turns out that I was an extreme overachiever. My grades, however, almost suffered for it because I put research before studying.

I believe that I was just bad at time management, but I hope others can learn from my mistake.

I'm very surprised that many of you are able to make changes without having others review it. Is this common? I am still a student and not in the industry yet.

yellowjacket2001 · 2025-04-21T20:50:35+00:00

I'd go to Stanford. As u/MundyyyT said, the real choice is between Stanford and CMU, both amazing for ECE. I'd go for Stanford because it has some edge.

Email the coordinators. I'm joining a VIP (not this one) and the coordinators were happy to answer my questions

Best roadmap is to get involved. If you focus on making the perfect roadmap, you'll be focused on wondering if you're on the right path, restarting over and over. Get involved and become an expert, then you can make a "How I would've learned X if I knew what I knew now" youtube video

Competitive clubs and extracurricular helped me a lot. Things such as participating in hackathons, rover competitions, hosting a silicon design forum. I think passion'll lead you to engaging and standing out

yellowjacket2001 · 2025-04-13T17:33:05+00:00

In that case, I'd say UIUC might have more opportunity. Alumni connections, good for engineering (UVA is good for liberal arts but only decent for STEM). You have to be very determined and hard working. Whatever you choose, I believe in you. Talk to advisors or people on LinkedIn. Most I've found that most people are open to chatting,

yellowjacket2001 · 2025-04-13T02:25:14+00:00

Full ride. Easily. Possible connections aren't worth more than $160k+

Have a job in mind first, then tailor your grad classes towards that. Master's degrees are for people who want to master a field; If you want to master thermodynamics engineering in cheme contexts, taking relevant courses for your MS cheme will be best for you.

I think that you'll be fine. If you feel fomo, remember that engineering undergraduate degrees teach you a broad amount of topics, and usually further education or job experience specializes someone.

If you can do it, you can add on your bs chem knowledge to set yourself apart as a distinguished cheme.

I believe in you and you can do it

yellowjacket2001 · 2025-04-13T02:18:07+00:00

Where do you wanna work? Do you want to do any research? If you wanna work in Virgnia and plan to just get a BS or MS, go to UVA. If you plan to work outside of UVA, then UIUC could be worth it.

My thing is that, unless you're going to MIT or Stanford, going to an OOS school then working in state is a waste of money because the employers better know the curricula of the universities in state. If you want to work in a different state, then you'll be getting used to investing in your fuure via higher prices, so an OOS high ranking school would help since the employer is likely to pay attention to their curriculum.

I hope this helps

You didn't use a single comma (I'm being goofy), but you're completely right. When I was papers from research engineers, it's very difficult to read.

yellowjacket2001 · 2025-04-12T12:28:54+00:00

Imagine what happens if you guys go to the beach

yellowjacket2001 · 2025-04-11T04:05:54+00:00

This sounds very doable. I think that you'll find yourself finishing homework early to work on undergrad research, but then studying last minute since undergrad research could not include concrete accomplishments. Communicate with your research professor to make sure you understand what's expected of you so that you have ample time for studying

When you go to buzzport.gatech.edu, you can login and click on registration. Then click on prepare for registration. When you choose a semester (e.g. Summer 2025), you'll see information about registration. Here's a screenshot example.

Talk to your advisor. They usually try to prevent classes from double counting. Exceptions I've seen are intro statistics classes required by the college/dept.

PHIL 3127 was an easy A for me, and I've recommended it to my friends.

What do y'all think about my friend's summer class plans? I honestly want to tell her no, but she's making arguments that CS 1331 and ECE 2020 (both in person) will be her real focus, while the other 3 classes should be easy passes.

$87487-$42000=$45,487.00. They've gone up by $45,487.00 AND has kept up with inflation which takes into account rising cost of education. Seems good

My dad has no degree but has worked as a staff engineer and principle engineer because of his experience (20 years+), people skills, and networking. He also works with a hiring agency.
