Hey everyone,
I was admitted to UT Austin and Georgia Tech for Aerospace engineering and am currently on the waitlist for UCLA Aerospace Engineering and I CAN'T DECIDE where to go next year.
Im lucky that my parents are paying for college so price does not matter much but here are the costs per year for each school (im OOS for all):
- UT Austin: 50k
- Georgia Tech: 50k
- UCLA: 59k
Also here is the per year costs for each school for me
Heres notes on each school in my mind
UT Austin -
- Investing Heavily in engineering over the last few years (EERC is amazing)
- Austin is a great place to live
- Connections with NASA
- Great student life
- Great for entrepreneurship, McCombs is highly rated (thinking about a minor in business or dual degree with econ)
- I have been admitted to the engineering honors program with 10k scholarship (scholarship already included in coa price above)
- Great school spirit
- Great alumni network but only within tx
Georgia Tech -
- Most highly regarded
- Extremely rigorous
- top notch professors
- AE program is one of their best programs so they care about it alot
- I have family in Atlanta
- Student life is meh
- Most resources specifically dedicated to AE students ie. AeroMakerSpace
- Gender ratio is kinda bad at around 65/35
- most hands on experience (I think)
- best connections with industry
UCLA -
- Might not get a great dorm freshman yr cuz im on waitlist and havent had the chance to find potential roommates via facebook
- I have always wanted to live in California
- SoCal has one of the largest Aerospace industries in the world (JPL, SpaceX, Boeing, Lockheed, Aerojet Rocketdyne, Armstrong FRC, etc.)
- Love the culture at UCLA
- Nicest campus and dorms
- Best name recognition across the country and internationally
- smallest classes for engineering students out of the three
- Lots of things to do in LA (Disney, Sports, Hiking, Skiing, Santa Monica, Hollywood, etc)
- Most diverse campus
- Best weather
- New Engineering building (Engineering VI)
- Has one of the best economics programs in the country so will try to minor or dual degree with econ
CC do your thing i need help deciding!
