So I just started college this spring (I graduated high school last May and took fall semester off) and I am thinking about transferring to Georgia tech. I’m taking an informational session for transfer students early February but I was hoping to get some answers on here from people who have experience.
Right now, I’m doing General studies but I know for sure that I plan on studying International affairs hopefully if I get accepted to tech. I saw on the transfer chart for my major, that I need Eng 1101 and 1102, I am currently taking Eng 1101… I also need two lab sciences so I plan on starting with Bio 1 in the science… I’m having trouble figuring out the math courses though… it says I can sub calc 1 and 2 for Finite mathematics and survey of calc… has anyone gone through this process???
I’m also taking other courses that I know I’ll need for my major at GT such as Economics, history, and government… but when I search the transferring process for GT, I only read about engineering majors which makes sense because GT is known for math/science but I wanted to hear from people who have experience with something such as a liberal arts major… I appreciate any info you guys can give me:) thank you!
*bio 1 in the summer (if it transfers because I hear that sometimes summer courses don’t) I’ve also tried speaking to an advisor from my school but she never contacted me back so I took it upon myself to figure it out. I’m also planning on speaking to an advisor at Georgia tech since the ones at my college are no help lol
I assume this is the chart you are referring to:http://admission.gatech.edu/transfer/course-requirements-major
I think your best bet at gaining accurate information for your specific situation/intended major will be at the transfer informational session. My daughter is a second year student in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts at Tech. My only advice would be to focus on current school and community involvement in addition to your classes. Admissions will not only be looking at courses and GPA, but also how you are involved in “improving the human condition” and how you plan to take advantage of the many resources Georgia Tech has to offer.
