Georgia Tech and University Illinois Urbana

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a freshman civil engineer at Rutgers University New Brunswick, and am considering transferring to Georgia Tech or University Illinois Urbana Champaign after my sophomore year, and I would like to know what my chances are.</p>

<p>College Stats</p>

<p>1st Semester GPA: 4.0
2nd Semester GPA: Probably around a 3.8
So First Year GPA: 3.9
Honors College of Engineering
Scarlet Knight Scholarship
Engineers W/O Borders</p>

<p>High School Stats
SAT: 730 Math 640 Reading 690 Writing TOTAL: 2060/2400 or 1370/1600
GPA: 3.85 unweighted 5.35 weighted
Tennis, Soccer, NHS, Math Club, Math Tutoring, Italian Club, lots of AP's
Math II: 720 Math I: 690</p>

<p>Realistically what are my chances as a transfer as a rising junior to GTECH, UIUC, and possibly U Berkeley and if I have a chance any scholarship money possibilities?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>UIUC seems like a match and georgia tech seems like a low reach or a high match.</p>

3

<p>which in your opinion is the better engineering school?</p>

4

<p>Georgia Tech i believe is better IMO.
UIUC is still quite good, i think it has the a very large library if i am not mistaken?</p>

<p>For Civil Engineering, UIUC is the better school, but GT isn’t far behind. For overall engineering, GT is the better school, but UIUC isn’t far behind. </p>

<p>In summary, they’re peer institutions. In fact, if I had to pick the school most similar academically to GT, I would pick UIUC and vice versa. You won’t find an appreciable difference between them in academic quality, career opportunities, or prestige. You will find a huge difference in campus atmosphere and weather, though.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say GT is a better engineering school. Both are equal in terms of engineering.</p>

<p>So which do you think has “the better atmosphere”</p>
