<p>I don’t know anything about Purdue, but I do know the reputation of Ga Tech. The school wants to pressure the students from day one, and there are multiple “weed out” classes (as I’m sure there are at other colleges).</p>
<p>Low GPAs can often result, and I know a number of alumni who have told me to “stack the deck” for each semester to be sure you can keep your GPA where it needs to be. One girl who was a chemical engineering major said she almost could have double majored, since she took humanities courses every semester. For the sole purpose of a guaranteed “A” to balance her GPA.</p>
<p>It is not easy at Tech, but a diploma from Tech will take you places. Congrats on the scholarship!</p>
