Hey everyone. I just started freshman year at Indiana University at Bloomington. I was initially admitted for Finance but after thinking hard about life after college, I have settled on Computer Science. I really want to transfer to GaTech’s CS program after my freshman year here. Below is an outline of my classes and I would appreciate some tips and honest feedback about transferring into GaTech’s CS program.

I have credits for English Composition 1 and Calculus 1 from high school.

Semester 1:

Calculus 2

Physics 1

Intro to Com Science

Intro to Micro Econs

Semester 2:

Calculus 3

Physics 2

Eng Comp 2

Intro to Software Systems

Either: Intro to CS discrete math OR Intro to Macro Econs

These classes meet the transfer requirements on GaTech’s transfer table. I plan to submit my application during the Feb 2020 - June 2020 window and hopefully attend GaTech by Fall 2020. I would have a total of 42 credits by the end of Freshman year (June 2020).

Other than academics, I plan to join the Computer Science club here at IU and other CS-related activities.

I’m an international student btw, if GaTech takes that into consideration. And I understand that I will not be receiving any financial aid from GaTech.
