My D is at another school, but we know many GT kids. Her high school bestie is a psychology major at GT now on a premed track. According to her the classes are challenging, but she is managing to keep her grades up. She is completing her sophomore year and still a pre-med so that is a good sign. She is also very involved in ECs that interest her so has found a good balance. She opted to do the summer start and is happy with that decision as it allowed her acclimate to college life with a smaller cohort and to get some gen eds out of the way. She also had AP credits for several classes which gave her a bit of flexibility with scheduling.

I have heard her complain about registration for the classes she wants, but it sounds like it has worked out even if she had to initially get on a waitlist. Some of it is also due to her not being flexible about taking early classes. lol

I’ve seen many posts on CC cautioning against GT for premeds. No doubt GT is an academically rigorous school. I’d venture to say the med school pre-requisites are difficult everywhere (my D just survived ochem2 and got her first ever B… and is proud of it!)

Best of luck with your decision!
