Please Help! GA State VS GA Tech!

<p>[Update] </p>

<p>I have just investigated GT website heavily and found out that you have to have CALC I and CALC II to even be able to transfer. I also have a meeting with an advisor soon. </p>

<p>This is probably a deal breaker for me unfortunately because I just have STATS and College Algebra. I would take me another year to get CALC I and CALC II. I would have to take PRE-CALC in the Fall and then CALC I in the Spring and then CALC II in the Summer or Fall at my community college. This would be crazy because that would be postponing my Degree for another year.</p>

<p>I am not sure if it is in the best interest to do that for my family. I might just have to go to GSU because I could transfer right into that in the Spring with STATS and College Algebra. Does that make me a loser?</p>

<p>Why does this decision have to be so tough!!!</p>

<p>HELP!</p>

<p>@Everyone</p>

<p>Why doesn’t anyone else care about anyone else here… So do you guys think I should duke out a few more Semesters of Calculus and go to GT or should I just go to GSU and be done with it? </p>

<p>Please care and share your expertise to someone in need. </p>

<p>Best,

<p>Go to Georgia State</p>

<p>Thank you for sharing, anyone else?</p>

<p>I would go to Georgia State. Why put life on hold for another year while you re-visit high school math? It could turn into a calculus nightmare! Move on. Get your degree and don’t look back. That is my opinion.</p>

<p>I also believe going to Georgia State is your best option right now. Don’t waste anymore time.</p>

<p>Does anyone care about me?</p>

<p>@Everyone</p>

<p>Anything new? I think I have decided to go to GSU Mark Robinson Business School. I do not think I have the time to take 3 semesters of Calculus; I wish I did but o well. </p>

<p>I think this is a good move. I will just get my BA and MBA combined and knock it out in an accelerated program. </p>

<p>Please help me if you care about other people…</p>

<p>Good decision, now just get decent grades and you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>@Everyone [UPDATE]</p>

<p>Well since I can’t go to GT because I am to dumb. I am thinking about GSU [Georgia State University] and KSU [Kennesaw State University. Since no one outside of GA will really know who GSU is anyway I am now thinking about going to KSU. It is cheaper; less traffic; and a whole lot safer. I mean if I am just going to get that boxed checked saying that I have a degree cannot KSU do that for me? I hear it is a very nice school and up and coming. It is nationally accredited at least right? Not just regionally or local; not sure if that is right. </p>

<p>Anyway I mean I could spend another year getting all the calculus I need for GT but I just do not feel it is worth it this late in the game and I really think I am behind the eight ball anyway. Plus I really am not that smart and do not have the engineering mind that is required. I mean I do have some talent just not in MATH; even though I know I could get straight A’s in it like I have been. I just feel it is more mechanical then a talent; I do not enjoy it.</p>

<p>Well any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I have a couple more months to apply because I already tried and it is two early; so please help away!</p>

<p>HELLO! DOES ANYONE CARE?</p>

<p>Please Help Me! Anyone? Please! I Need You! I Am Having Anxiety And Can’t Sleep!</p>

<p>KSU is fine, tuition is low ($5.5K a year), and it has a large business school. Since you plan on going to grad school, keeping your cost down would be wise. </p>

<p>Just keep getting great grades and you’ll do fine. :)</p>

<p>Georgia State’s business school far outranks Kennesaw State’s program; the cost difference between the two is not large enough to choose KSU for. Also, people outside of Georgia have heard of Georgia State; it depends on your region. In the Southeast, J. Mack Robinson is pretty well-known. Atlanta is a pretty safe large city and the area that GSU is in is very safe, so I wouldn’t choose Kennesaw over Atlanta for that reason. Personally, I would choose GSU. I’m pretty sure that GSU probably has more connections to Atlanta businesses - for networking and internships - than KSU does.</p>

<p>All reputable schools are regionally accredited. KSU is accredited by the Southeastern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). KSU’s business programs are also all accredited by the AACSB.</p>

<p>Why are you not considering UGA’s Terry College of Business at all?</p>

<p>While you’re at either school, please take calculus. Then when you graduate, if you are still in GA you can get an MBA at a top 25 institution for dirt cheap.</p>

<p>@Everyone</p>

<p>PLEASE HELP ME!</p>

<p>Okay I talked to someone again. I was really thinking about going to KSU. But they said that when you leave Georgia and anyone ask you where you went to school. No one is going to know where KSU is or what it is. BUT they will know Georgia State. So you can simply say; where did you graduate. O well Georgia State; they will know its legit.</p>

<p>You have been given enough information, you need to make this decision for yourself.</p>

<p>If you truly prefer KSU it is OK to go there. Don’t worry about that.</p>

<p>You sound like you are suffering from opinion overload. Everyone is going to have a different opinion about which one is better, but in the end only you can decide. It sounds like you want to go to Kennesaw State, so just go there - you will be fine.</p>

<p>Why don’t you set up a decision matrix? Here’s an example [The</a> Weighted Averages Method of Decision Making : Atlantic Business Magazine](<a href=“http://www.atlanticbusinessmagazine.ca/blogs/the-weighted-averages-method-of-decision-making/]The”>http://www.atlanticbusinessmagazine.ca/blogs/the-weighted-averages-method-of-decision-making/)</p>

<p>You might rank each program by cost, duration, name recognition/reputation, ease/difficulty, convenience etc… and assign weights based on what’s important to you.</p>
