<p>I know that Georgia Tech is known for it's CS program, but I haven't heard much about other areas of engineering there. I'm interested in Mechanical Engineering and robotics and I was wondering if anyone could shed any insight on what Georgia Tech has to offer in these areas. The 5 year BS/MS program is pretty appealing. Are there options for undergraduate research and studying abroad?</p>
<p>Also, would admissions be more difficult since I'm out of state or does the school treat all applicants the same?</p>
<p>It's more known for Mechanical Engineering than CS I would think. Granted we're known for pretty much anything science/engineering related. I was out of state and got in ME, and I didn't have the best grades/scores. The 5 year program is hard to get into...you need to maintain a 3.5 up through your junior year to be accepted I think. </p>
<p>Research opps. are there, you just have to be proactive and ask/find them yourself. Professors don't just offer them, and sometimes you're competing against a few students...depending on the position.</p>
