<p>here is my advice: DONT LISTEN TO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY!!!</p>
<p>honestly, it’s all random and different for everybody. some people will vehemently disagree if i say tech is worst school in the world cuz professors dont give a flippin **** and this place is boring and full of work. some people will also go ballistics if i say you should come to tech because tech is not that bad and all the haters are just simply lazy dropouts and you will get a co op and research in tech easily and everything will be dandy and butterflies everywhere. </p>
<p>if you want the specifics:
one of my friends was top 10 in his high school. in tech, he has crap gpa and he almost got an academic probation. on the other hand, my other friend barely got into tech and now he has above 3.3 (deans list).
i had Bellissard for calc 2 and got a D for first time in my life, and my physics TA said bellissard was the easiest prof he ever had in his life and he made an A without even studying. there are alot more stories like these that i can pull but it wont really matter; im not trying to convince to you stand on any side.</p>
<p>here is the bottom line: im sorry but ONLY WAY you can find it out whether if this is right school for you is by actually attending this school and see if this is right for you.</p>
<p>if you can afford that chance(eg you live in georgia or you got tons of money or you wont mind transferring if tech doesnt work out), then go for it. if you cant, you are not worse off by not going to tech. there are other good schools. plus, if you want to be an engineer, it seems like masters is a must so you can apply to tech for masters.</p>
<p>as much as i want to talk about how horrible tech experience has been to me, to the point i want to transfer but i cant, how horrible the academics is, because professors litreally read the textbook off to me in the lectures (bad teachers everywhere) and dont do anything else then fail students and not acknowledge their efforts, and advisers dont give me good advice because i simply cant study every single hour in my weekend to get a C, and treat me like an inanimate object, and even tutors tell me they cant do this math problem when im stuck at this homework, </p>
<p>that just wont be fair because, simply that doesnt necessarily apply to you for 100% since tech is both good and bad for everybody.</p>
