Does undergraduate really matter?

Transfer Students

<p>I am wondering if where you get your UG realy matters... if you are planning on getting a masters. I have transfered to georgia tech (as an entering sophomore) and i find that the school is not what I was looking for. The academics are top notch but other things dont sit well with me. Considering I am planning to go get a masters, would it hurt me if i transfered to a lower ranked school for engineering? I was considering the university of florida. It is still a good school and I grew up in the town and find that it may suit me better (in other things that arent academic).</p>

<p>Is it bad that i will have transfered again at all for getting into gradschool?</p>

<p>Do you think that a well respected aerospace eng. masters program would care? The main reason I was going to get an MBA was to get into management in my field. I just dont want to have another transfer hinder me when getting into grad school (if it doesnt matter that much going to UF over Gtech for undergrad).</p>

<p>I know at UF, my GPA would be higher than if I was at georgia tech, and my GPA at tech wont be terribly low either.</p>

<p>I suggest you also post this qx on the Engineering majors forum. I think there are some knowledgeable posters there who have better insight re this.</p>

<p>I also think it is a bit too soon to know whether GaTech is going to work out for you (see the Should I Transfer featured thread).</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>UF is a well known school, if you plan on doing grad school they are going to be accepting you based on your grades and EC's. The difference between UF and Georgia Tech is too low to make a difference in you being competitive or not.</p>
