[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GT but prep your kid. If he's used to be the smartest kid in the room there's going to be an awakening. GT promotes its retention rates but several of the programs in the engineering/cs spaces have very high washout rates. [/quote] I'll second the prep-/pep-talk and double-down on the washouts. And that hasn't changed much over the years. Several decades ago, I had a college-level counselor at my ACC-engineering alma mater tell me that, while [the state legislature said] they had to let in just about everyone (in-state), they said nothing about trying to [i]keep[/i] them so.....[the faculty] tried very hard to kick most out. C-wall classes are no joke. And the numbers didn't lie. Barely a third of us made it through. The two schools have very different vibes: Small-town vs. Big Southern City being the main one. Both are good. In my opinion, though, I believe GT to have the better overall Engineering School. [/quote]
