Georgia Tech wait-list 2028

[veebg]

There is one that I could see from other groups:

Rutgers Honors College in-state [20k] vs Georgia Tech OOS [53k] for Electrical Engineering

I just got into GT through the waitlist and have already committed to Rutgers Honors College. Considering that GT is a top 5 school for engineering, should I consider going there? 50k/year is near the max I can pay out-of-pocket, and GT is at that boundary while Rutgers HC is much nicer at 20k/year. This means I would be spending an additional 130k for a GT degree over a Rutgers HC degree. I am not sure yet if I want to go to graduate school. If I do plan on going, it may become too expensive (assuming like 80-90k/year for a top-end graduate school) if I attend GT, but that’s not the case for Rutgers. Plus, I would have the comfort of being in-state for Rutgers. Basically, are the outcomes/networking/opportunities available from GT for an additional 130k (which I can comfortably afford if I do not end up doing a master’s) worth it compared to all the perks and benefits of Rutgers HC for electrical engineering? Also, would it be better to attend Rutgers HC as I probably have a better ch…
