I'm currently a senior in Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, aka Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech is a public school right by the heart of midtown Atlanta. Georgia Tech's College of Engineering is one of the best in the country and world, with many of our programs ranked in US News' top 10 lists. It's primarily an engineering school, but we also offer a variety of other majors in science, business, and liberal arts. The quality of education you would receive at Georgia Tech is top notch. We also have a unique culture and our traditions, from our Fight Song to our mascot. Everyone, regardless of major, gender, age, or race, who attends Georgia Tech is a Helluva Engineer.

In addition to that, our campus is located in Atlanta, one of the most diverse cities in the USA, and with a booming engineering and software market. Most of our students will find themselves with a job offer halfway through their senior year. We also foster the development of hundreds of startup companies and organizations, through our startup center and Invention Studio. We also have a huge robotics program, the GT Robojackets, who participate in battlebots, robocup, and mentor FIRST teams around the area. In addition to robojackets, we have other engineering and competition teams such as SolarJackets, HyTech Racing, and GT Motorsports. We have hundreds of clubs for students to join and meet new people, make friends, and even industry connections.

If you have any questions about GT, feel free to pm me and I'd be happy to answer!

I am also a helluva engineer at Georgia Tech, more specifically, a second year biomedical engineering major with a focus in undergraduate research. I am a team leader (basically a super cool TA) for the GT1000 freshman seminar class that has a focus on undergraduate research and innovation, so if you have any questions about transitioning to Tech, I'm your person! I currently work in a lab at Emory (we have a joint BME department) working on several DNA origami projects. I am also still very much involved with FLL, FTC, and FRC in Georgia and currently mentor team 4468 here in Atlanta as well as volunteer at wayyyyy too many FLL and FRC events (is that even possible?). If you have any questions about Georgia Tech, biomedical engineering, or college in general, please don't hesitate to message me! #THWg
