<p>First, congratulations on even getting into Georgia Tech. It is one of the best tech schools in the country, and has a elite computer science department. You should be proud of what you have achieved, even if it did not turn out the way you hoped.</p>
<p>In many ways, yes, a GT degree will benefit you more than a Georgia State degree. But mostly only if you are rather ambitious, or want to work in other parts of the country. In other words, GT can take you further, but only if you want to go far. If you want a normal ordinary job in the Southeast, then Georgia State would be okay.</p>
<p>Being passionate is important, so if you cannot find something you really like at GT then it might be smart to transfer. However, see if you can find some passion for the new school. Going from one place that you don’t like to a different place that you also don’t like is not going to help much.</p>
<p>You might consider staying at GT for the rest of the academic year, and looking at different transfer options between now and summer. This gives you time to seriously consider your options.</p>
