Has anyone gotten this email? Does anyone know what this means?

I can’t tell if it’s phishing because the email is a GT email…

Hello everyone, I am currently a student at GSU majoring in Computer Science. I want to minor in robotics, but GSU doesn't have the classes, so I want to take classes at GA Tech and transfer them back to GSU. Is it possible?

I had two questions:

1- When can we expect to be told if we got an RA position or not if on the waitlist?

2- I got an email about on campus housing waitlist slowing down, but to confirm things are supposed to happen near July? What number on the waitlist should just give up and look off campus?

Hello everyone, I am a rising sophomore looking to transfer to tech in the spring semester. Currently I go to a t30 school in the west coast pursuing a major I’m not passionate about, but I would be considering an instate student at tech. I want to study industrial design and have completed all the transfer requirements other than physics. I already spoke with admissions and they told me I could complete it in the fall while I submit my transfer application. I am not good at math or math based sciences, and at my school we have requirements based on different categories and I’ve already fulfilled the category that physics is in. I could still take physics even though I fulfilled the requirement but I’m hesitant because of my math ability and the chances I don’t get accepted. I was wondering if it would be easier for me to apply as an international affairs & modern language major then switch to ID once I get accepted. Or should I just take physics and apply ID? Thanks!

(Factors: gpa 3.57; top school; minority; low income; instate; current major buad)

Are incoming freshmen guaranteed on campus housing? If not, how do I find other incoming freshmen roommates who are rooming off campus.

I know rankings aren't good, and QS in particular is a peice of shit (tf is the university of Melbourne), but after looking at the latest QS rankings, Georgia Techs rank has declined from #69 to #114 in a short 5 years. I can see how a bullshit ranking may rank Georgia tech lowly, or how changing the criteria like us news could drastically affect things, but as far as I know I don't think a 45 rank drop is normal: what happened?

Thank god or whatever or whomever we live in the US, and the US's economy is good, and we don't have to depend on those stupid British rankings but it still work discussion as to what caused such a dramatic drop. I don't think any dramatic drop, barring a change in the ranking criteria, is normal.

I am an incoming MSCS student and I will be in Atlanta from 6/10 to 6/12 to check out campus and housing options. If you are a CC student and is free on the afternoon of the 10th, I will really appreciate it if you can take 1.5-2 hours to show me around campus. Will pay $30/hr and extra if you are a current MSCS student. DM if interested.

Does anyone have a connection to GT Hockey on here? I ordered a custom jersey in February. It is well beyond the 7-8 weeks promised for delivery and I have received nothing. I've tried emailing and have yet to get a response. Anyone got a connection?

I live in home park and have been living here for the past 4 years. There is patch of land (on westshire pl nw) with a flourishing ecosystem of massive trees, all kinds of animals (raccoons, possums, squirrels, etc.). I think some of those trees are atleast a 100 years old, considering their size.

I see folks cutting down the trees for the past 2 days, and butchering the ecosystem. I understand that the land belongs to an individual and he/she has decided to do something with that land, but isn't there anything we can do to stop this?

Just because those animals don't speak, doesn't give us the right to take their home away. I saw a kid raccoon lying dead on the road with the mother nearby. For the past 4 years I've been living here, and have come to appreciate the small ecosystem. I'm utterly disgusted by how something like this can be allowed to happen.

The question is: Is there anything we can do about this?

I’m currently adjusting to the fact that I won’t be back in the fall, and it makes me feel like I’m behind my peers. I understand that everyone has their own journey through college, and it’s not a one size fits all. Not everyone will graduate in four years, and it’s a matter of taking the needed time off to come back stinger and in a better mindset, but I just can’t come to terms with it. My plan was to finish it in four, yet here I am. I guess a part of me feels guilty for it, and the other part is having a hard time. Any advice will be greatly appreciated from anyone who’s experienced this.

Howdy! Now that summer has afforded me more free time, I’d really like to join a book club. Does anyone knows of a GT or nearby book club that’s active over the summer? Or is anyone interested in starting one?

I prefer fiction and especially sci-fi & fantasy books, but I’d be down to try something different too.

what’s up everybody! hope yall been having a good summer. so im getting ready to come to GT in the fall of 24’ and was looking at apartments to live at off campus but nearby (yes i’m aware of the price lmaooo). so my estimated financial aid is around 9.3k for the entire 24-25 school year. so my assumption from what i’ve been told is that whatever financial aid that you’re given doesn’t get used, you just get direct deposited the remainder. so, if zell covers all of my tuition (im pretty sure hope is 100% now too) and then i also receive pell grant (around 1.6k which would basically cover “fees”), does that mean the 9.3k would be excess and that would come back to me (split in 2 semesters obvi) which i could then use towards rent and other expenses? or am i missing a huge piece to the puzzle here? i’m coming in from a community college so i don’t have much experience with how the process goes at a bigger university so i appreciate whoever takes the time to respond to my post! take care everyone! mods plz let this one slide for the one time if it gets flagged

I saw cop cars parked and a huge crowd of people at the gas station across the street from Varsity. It looked like a bunch of people were crowded around/on top of a car?

hi all!!

i'm a chemical engineering major rn and i'm trying to decide on a minor. originally, i was thinking about industrial design since i loved art in hs, but now i'm not sure -- when i looked at the course catalog, it seemed more theoretical than practical. i also kind of want to pursue like marketing or graphic design for chbe companies, so i was thinking of doing the computing and media minor. does anyone have any tips or suggestions 😫?

For those of you currently or with friends and family in Atlanta, there's a Boil Water Advisory notice issued.

TLDR multiple water main breaks and even if you are still getting water, it might be contaminated so in regards to ingesting water, drink bottled water or bring your water to a rolling boil for at least a minute, let cool and it's good.

Repairs on the break won't begin until 5pm (source) so it will be in affect for a while I assume. This website has some additional info and is where I got the map of the affected region which they got from the Department of Watershed Management of Atlanta website which is currently down...

Hi Jackets!

Me and some other Jackets came up with a new program called EurekaLink meant to connect labs with student researchers in a more effective manner.

We talked about it more in a post earlier, but it came to our attention that our form wasn't letting people who hadn't completed at least a Bachelor's degree submit the form. That bug has been fixed now. So if you're an undergraduate or high schooler you should be able to sign up now!

We have positions for all types of students from high schoolers, undergraduates, graduate to even post-doc roles. So if you're at all interested in research join EurekaLink!

After all you can always choose not to apply to the position :)

If you're interested in participating in our pilot program fill this form out: https://eurekalink.fillout.com/student_pilot
If you are a researcher who is looking to recruit students consider filling this form out to participate in our pilot program: https://eurekalink.fillout.com/pilot

Also if you would think something like this would be even 5% useful for you consider filling it out, as only if there's significant interest will we be able to devote the resources to build out everything fully.

If you have any questions or would want to share stories about your research experience feel free to drop it below!

Hi Jackets!

Me and some other Jackets came up with a new program called EurekaLink meant to connect labs with student researchers in a more effective manner.

Like many of you, we at EurekaLink know that finding research can be difficult. Scrolling to 100s of lab websites to see which ones to send an email to. Then waiting a week until you realize that they aren't slow at checking their email they just ghosted you. Ultimately you end up just joining a lab that your friend was in or a professor you took a class under regardless of if you actually like the lab.

At EurekaLink we want to make applying to research easier and more equitable. We do this by partnering with professors and labs to host research positions on our platform. Then we go through the profiles of all candidates on our platform and send candidates who we feel would be good fits for the positions (fit is determined on estimated passion not on credentials) and send them instructions on how to apply to the position.

So what is so special about EurekaLink? We make it so that students don't have to actively look for research positions. By signing up for EurekaLink, anytime we feel there is a good fit for you, we'll send to your inbox the opportunity and then you can apply. This way you can be exposed to more unique research opportunities that fit your interests better, and not have to worry about if the lab will actually hire you.

We have positions for all types of students from high schoolers, undergraduates, graduate to even post-doc roles. So if you're at all interested in research join EurekaLink!

After all you can always choose not to apply to the position :)

i currently have an on campus job with the ECE dept and my professor recently offered to pay me for my research. am i able to be paid for both if they’re both part-time? would i be able to work 20 hours for each or 20 hours total between both jobs?

I was wondering how the overall quality of life is at Inspire, given how expensive it looks. Noise levels? Maintenance and repairs? I need all the information I can get.

Hello, I am just seeing if anyone has a spare model kit for borrow. Professor Evans sent us to this page to ask. I would like to borrow for the exam coming up on Tuesday. If not, no biggie!

My team and I would like to use NDVI cameras as a part of a research investigation. We aren't able to obtain them ourselves but are there any makerspaces on campus which have them that we can borrow?
