<p>Just some thoughts here. You ask if you made a mistake and that had you applied you would have gotten into Georgia Tech. I’m not sure what your stats are but there are plenty of kids who didn’t get in. Those kids stats were very good and you can’t just go by what the “average” class GPA,SAT scores and number of AP’s were. There were kids who were above those averages and did not get in. Some of those kids are going to UGA with the thought of transferring after 1 year. So you may have ended up a UGA anyway with the thought of transferring to GT.</p>
<p>Transferring to GT is a whole different ball game. You have to take all the required classes and if you look at the GT thread it looks pretty competitive. If you are going to transfer you really need to make sure you do very well your first year at UGA. Also it looks like from the website that they treat transfer students differently. If you start as a freshman you can decide your major later. But if you are a transfer student you have to apply as a certain major and if you want to change it later to a different one they may or may not allow it. So I would make sure you really know what your major is before you transfer.</p>
