UPenn or Georgia Tech

I think it’s fair to say most GT alumni appreciate attending GT, but some also feel they may have missed something by not attending a more comprehensive school. When we toured GT a few years ago, a group of students driving by yelled at us to “Don’t come here!”. That’s very much a Tech joke, one I had to explain to my son. :slight_smile:

If anything, GT is even more “STEM” heavy since the recent surge in OOS students. From 2002 to 2012 or so, the % of degree’s award to STEM majors made up about 71% to 72% of the total. In 2016, it was up to 79.6%. For comparison, Cal Poly-SLO is 43.4%, U-Michigan is 39.1%, UC-Berkeley is 35.5% and UF is 29.5%.

GT and other STEM focused schools are great, but the experience will be different.
