<p>Here is my dilemma, I love both of these schools but each has its pros and its cons.</p>
<p>Clemson: I live 30 minutes away, its not as prestigious so it will be harder to get into grad school, I know people there already, all of my siblings went there</p>
<p>but I have over $10000 in scholarships, I've never heard anyone say they hated it, it's fun, it has a good (not great) engineering program, you can have fun wether or not you are greek.</p>
<p>Georgia Tech: I've heard nothing but it's a butt load of work, there is no social life, none of the professors help you, the test are way more than what the teachers let on.</p>
<p>but I have in-state status, you have a job waiting for you at graduation, its easier to get into med schools, its 2 hours from home, its in atlanta...</p>
<p>I want to have a good time in college but I also want to be really successful after college, I havent had to work that hard in high school not going to lie but I have kept up a 4.0 GPA and got a 1320 on the sat. Would going the hard route and picking georgia tech be more rewarding than an overall experience at Clemson?</p>
<p>Good question - I’ll be interested in your answers. It might be helpful for respondents to know what your intended major is, especially whether or not it’s Engineering.</p>
<p>If you’re willing to knuckle down and do the work you will probably do well at GT. It’s not nearly as impossible as a lot of people make it sound.</p>
<p>That said, med school? Your UG school doesn’t matter so much there. Go to Clemson, you’ll probably end up with a higher GPA.</p>
<p>my major is engineering but at georgia tech I am a polymer and fiber major meaning I get in state tuition unless I switch majors so Im stuck in that major so if I wanted to try something else I would have to pay out the butt</p>
<p>Clemson: I live 30 minutes away, its not as prestigious so it will be harder to get into grad school, </p>
<p>That’s just not true. </p>
<p>but I have over $10000 in scholarships, I’ve never heard anyone say they hated it, it’s fun, it has a good (not great) engineering program, you can have fun wether or not you are greek.</p>
<p>We like Clemson!</p>

<p>If you’re intent is to go to med school, I don’t see what the big argument is. Clemson certainly can well prepare a student for med school while also providing a full campus experience. </p>
<p>GT is social-life challenged. And, if you’re a guy…GT is girl-challenged.</p>
