<p>I am technically a first semester Junior at GA State right now studying exercise science and planning to do Physical Therapy, I have about 69 hours right now and have just now decided that I wanted to transfer to GA Tech and study Electrical Engineering. I have not taken the physics classes required and I have not even started to take Calculus yet, so it will be a while till I can transfer. I plan on transferring to GA Perimeter and doing the RETP program to transfer over. I have written out the classes that I need and it turns out that I will not be able to graduate until Fall 2015 or Spring 2016 and I graduated high school in 2010. I will also be paying out of pocket and loans once my hope is out. Is it worth staying in school that long to graduate with an engineering degree from tech or should I just stay with exercise science at GA State? Also, I realize that engineering is a hard program can anybody give me some advice and/or some knowledge from their Electrical engineering experience at GA Tech or engineering school and what they are doing today?</p>
<p>You’re basically re-doing your whole college career, if you decide to do it. Like you said, HOPE will run out and all that money spent on your previous courses will be wasted. You’d have to spend a lot of EXTRA money, time, and energy. I don’t know what your current personal situation is, but if I had enough money and if I knew that EE would ultimately make me a lot happier for the rest of my life, I would do it. (But for my situation, i wouldn’t be able to do it.)</p>
<p>Shoot…I would transfer just to be away from GSU.</p>
<p>It really depends on what you want to do. I was a computer science major and I transferred from GSU when I was a sophomore. All my credits transferred luckily. If you want to become a physical therapist you probably have all your pre-reqs done. Go to Tech for engineering, and if things don’t work out…you could always finish up and go to PT school.</p>
<p>I’m sure having Tech on your resume will be a plus on your application. Not to mention the engineering degree</p>
<p>Yes you should.</p>
