Got denied from Georgia Tech, was pretty much expected, but I don't know what college I should go. I plan on transferring to Georgia Tech in 2018, and I have two schools in mind to attend freshmen year: Georgia Gwinnett College (Low Tier) and Georgia State (OK Tier).

GGC is really close to home, I expect it to be easier and tuition is cheaper, and there's GSU further away closer to Tech and much more expensive. Should I even consider GSU? For the frank chance that I fuck it up and I don't get accepted into Georgia Tech and I had to stay here? Or should I take the cheap and easy street and hope I get in at the end of the year.

I plan on going into a Math major if that matters to anything.

There used to be regent's transfer acceptance guarantee b/w the two-year and four-year schools. As long as you meet the class and gpa requirements after 2 years, then you would have guaranteed acceptance into GT. They had it with GPC so I'm sure there is still some sort of program available like this.

It really doesn't matter which route you take there, just be sure to verify all your credits will transfer. However, if you're have to take out student loans, then the cheaper route is really the way to go.

If GSU is your backup plan, IMO, a math degree from GSU can not compare to a GT math degree. Even UGA's math program is not equivalent to GT's.

Don't give up if this is what you really want and good luck!

Thanks! I will have to look deeply at how much its going to cost me, debt is my biggest fear coming from lower class home. And I don't want debt from a college I expect leave.

Also, I hear so much about transferring over two years, according to Georgia Tech I just apply next year. Should I go for it? Or should I wait to complete my requirements in two years?

Don't hold back or wait- go for it next year! There's nothing to lose, and the GAT could just be your plan c.
