What to do after Waitlisted?

So I was Waitlisted for Tech and denied from UGA, now I have to pick from one of my 2 backups: Auburn or Kennesaw State. If I don’t get in from waitlist, I plan on transferring in through Conditional Transfer during my 2nd year of college.

In the meantime, which of my backups should I pick and plan to attend if things don’t go my way? I intend to major in either Biology or Biomedical Engineering for a pre-med track and am a GA resident. Which school would be better? Both have pros and cons to them, just looking for some collective advice :slight_smile:

Did you get financial aid for Auburn? My guess is that Kennesaw will be significantly cheaper (I assume you qualify for HOPE, if not Zell Miller), which – as a parent, anyway – would make the choice obvious, especially if you plan to transfer.

I agree with YankeeinGA, although having said that if you want to spend 4 years at a great SEC University surrounded by Georgia engineering students you can’t beat Auburn - it is an AUsone place… $ smart move would be Kennesaw or North GA (they have the 2/3 or 3/2 to Tech program for engineers).
