<p>ok so right i'm deciding between georgia tech and miami..and need lots of insight when it comes to making my decision..im planning on majoring in bme at ga tech and neuroscience at miami</p>

<p>first of all as of now i'm planning on being pre-med or planning on going on to get my phd..probably in neuroscience..or a closely related field..which school would give me best preparation for this?</p>

<p>also i heard the grading at ga tech is VERY hard..is this true? if i put in a great deal of effort would my grades be that different at ga tech compared to miami?</p>

<p>also the oos cost for ga tech is very high..if i paid oos state tuition the first year would i be able to be in state tuition after that since my mother (who is my parent on the fafsa) moved to atlanta since i'm her only child and wants to live close to me moved to atlanta? are there any other ways to get the in state tuition cost?</p>

<p>also socially, how is ga tech? i know there must be a great deal of studying obviously, but is there anytime for fun? i'm a female fyi and would want to go to parties, have fun in atlanta, ect.. my academics will be first obviously but obviously there is more to life than academics..anyone with insight?</p>

<p>that basically sums up my questions..anyone with additional info would be greatly appreciated..thanks!!</p>

<p>I would be a bit biased since I’ve only been at GT but in all honesty it’s not AS hard as they make it seem. Yes it does get difficult (this week I’m up to my neck in work) but it is very possible and maybe easy to make A’s and B’s (considering you’re an above average student). I’d say the main addition is stress. The work is doable but it can sometimes be pretty stressful.</p>

<p>I believe out-of-state tuition is fixed, correct me if I’m wrong.</p>

<p>Again, I’ve only been to Georgia Tech so I wouldn’t be able to compare, but (even though I’m pretty antisocial myself) there is definitely plenty of social opportunities on campus and quite a few “non-nerdy” fraternities, clubs, and just people in general.</p>

<p>It’s hard, but you gotta keep up with it.</p>

<p>The only way for you to get in-state tuition is if your parent who claims you on your tax form is living and working in the state of Georgia, or if you are an independent.</p>

<p>As far as social stuff, Greek life is pretty big here. Most girls in sororities that I know keep up a pretty high gpa and all go out together on the weekends.</p>
