<p>I'm glad I got in. I'm not sure if I will go since it's so far from home but at least now I have more schools to choose from. Out of all the schools I applied to GT is definitely the best in terms of engineering.</p>
<p>We are almost sure that our D will go to GT because of the communication the school has with the parents and students. I called a few times to clarify things and a real person answered and it was refreshing. Also, their website is amazing and that is reassuring to a parent when you need information and can actually find it. Besides being a great school they are more "personal" than many other schools.
Oh, sorry for the name....a parent thing.</p>
