<p>Hi guys,
I've just been accepted into GATech computer science program and I wanted to know how long does it normally takes to get bachelor's degree? 2 years? What if I take summer class?
I'm a transfer student from community college with 3.8 GPA. I also have taken all math(linear, calcIII/IV, diff eq), physics and cs class in community college.</p>
<p>This depends on a lot of factors. Since you were accepted as a transfer, you are required to take a MINIMUM of 36 hours at GT for your degree. While this can be done in two semesters (18 hours each), you will need to factor in what courses you have taken, required GT courses, the workload of certain classes, etc.</p>
<p>Go here ([Current</a> Undergraduates ? Undergraduate Study Plans | College of Computing](<a href=“http://www.cc.gatech.edu/current/undergraduates/academics/plans]Current”>Thread Combination Credit Sheets, Academic Year 22-23 | College of Computing)) for examples of what courses you need to take depending on your chosen combination of threads.</p>
<p>Sooo… The 30+% 4-year graduation rate basically only applies to freshmen eh?</p>
<p>Sorry for double posting. But I heard that GATech is a very very hard school. Is it true?
Because I don’t want to go there and spent every weekends at home studying like hell and no social life…
It’ll be kinda sad if the truth is like that.</p>
<p>I’m assuming since you already have plenty of transfer credits, you won’t spend nearly as many semesters here as someone who begins as a freshman. But yes, some people who come to GT first are not able to graduate in four years.</p>
<p>As for your other question, GT is tough, definitely. A lot of that has to do with the constant workload of certain classes. I transferred in and, compared to my previous institution, not only am I having to work a lot harder, but my grades won’t nearly be the same. Tech may be challenging, but it’s worth all of the opportunities both during your studies and after you’re out. In my opinion, a lot of the people who complain of having no time for socializing are the ones who are terrible at prioritizing tasks and lack time management skills.</p>
<p>Cool. If it’ll worth it, I’ll give it a shot then. </p>
<p>In my current situation, I’m able to balance between social life and school work (and I’m taking 20 credits of hard classes this quarter). Oh well… I guess it’s gonna be the same then. I asked that question because most of my friends that transferred to universities are kinda laid back you know with tons and tons of time available for social life.</p>
