<p>Hey guys, I've narrowed my undergraduate college selection to 3 schools: Emory, UGA, and GA Tech. Emory is a reach school for me more because of financial issues than qualification (if I get enough financial aid, then I will definitely go if accepted), but just in case I don't get in or can't afford it, I need to be able to choose between GA Tech and UGA. To be honest, I'm leaning toward GA Tech, but one of the main issues that's making this a hard decision is that I'm not exactly sure what I want to major in. I know I want it to be in a biology/chemistry field that ultimately helps in conserving the environment. An environmental engineering major sounds AMAZING for that but so does Fisheries & Wildlife (more field based, woot!) and there's always the possibility of me just going into chemical and biomolecular engineering which could be just as great. I'm just not sure what I really want, and I've heard that GA Tech is NOT a place for people that don't know EXACTLY what they want to do. I want to know from people WHO HAVE ATTENDED OR WORKED AT EITHER SCHOOL (please no "[enter school] IS #1 , GO THERE BECAUSE WE'RE BETTER THAN [enter rival school]!"). Does GA Tech allow flexibility for finding the right fit or are the rumors true that they expect you to already have decided upon the career you want to do for the rest of your life?! Should I just go to UGA and explore their giant pool of biology major options?</p>
<p>GT and UGA are both part of the University System of Georgia, and for that reason have fairly similar policies and procedures. At GT, you are not required to declare a major for your first two years, and changing majors is not hard if you are in good standing.</p>
<p>There are majors, including one you mentioned - biomolecular engineering, where the chain of prerequisites are such that being in that major from the start is advantageous.</p>
