[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t bother to read every post in this thread, but I don’t think anyone has mentioned the main reason GT gets lower ratings, which is its graduation rate. The GT four year graduation rate is relatively low because many students co-op (which is a good thing, I think). They also have many students who drop classes or take a lighter load to keep their gpa up to retain their scholarships. Many (most/all) of the in-state students have a Hope or Zell Miller state-sponsored scholarship, which are based on HS GPA but require the recipient to maintain a set gpa. https://finaid.gatech.edu/undergraduate-types-aid/hope-zell-faqs[/quote] From an OOS GT parent, I agree completely! GT degrees are extremely rigorous (students rarely can take more than 16 credits a semester successfully) and thus it is very common to take 4.5 years to graduate. In fact, you’ll see lots of “5th years” if you ever visit! [/quote]
