Got the Application...

<p>OK well I just received the application for next year in the mail but before I start filling it out I want to know if it is worth it. I'm pretty sure I could deal with the atmosphere of GIT seeing as I loved the time I spent at Case this past June and Case and GIT seem very similar socially wise. The thing is I'm a Texas resident and I wish to do Aerospace Engineering and UT would only be $19,000 and they are ranked 9th in it. Even if I didn't get into UT(Top 10% thing) there is still TAMU which is $18,000 a year and ranked 11th. So my question to you do you still feel like a number at Tech and how much better education will I receive going to the 2nd rank school compared to the 9th or 11th? Also for the OOS students is GIT worth the extra $10,000 compared to your In-State school? And of course what would any thread at CC be without some chances? </p>

<p>Its no harm in filling out the application...Tech's application is about as easy as you are going to get...you dont even need to send them a transcript yet.</p>

<p>you can get in</p>

<p>Yeah I plan to do it now. Would it be better to submit my ACT(22e/31m/30r/33s) or SAT(690m/610v/600r) scores? Anyone else have an opinion on the UT vs GT education wise?</p>

<p>Comparatively,your act & sat score is exactly the same. Here's a link

I would rate GT slightly higher than UT</p>
