我是申請美國2020fall EE的同學，領域是VLSI Design.打算在畢業後在美國工作個幾年再回台灣。
在今年三月多的時候我收到了gatech的這份拒信，內容如下：
Thank you for applying to the Master of Science (MS) degree program in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Georgia Tech for the Fall 2020 semester. Although you meet our high standards for admission, we unfortunately cannot accommodate you on the Atlanta campus due to a capacity limit. We are, however, happy to accommodate you on either one of Georgia Tech’s two international campuses – Georgia Tech-Lorraine, located in Metz, France, or Georgia Tech-Shenzhen, located in Shenzhen,
China.
The MS ECE program on either of these two international campuses is identical to the MS ECE program in Atlanta, with the same degree requirements. All courses are taught in English, by Georgia Tech faculty or adjunct faculty, following the Georgia Tech course catalog. In the end, the same prestigious Georgia Tech MS ECE degree is granted as if you were studying on the Atlanta campus.
The tuition rates at Georgia Tech-Shenzhen and Georgia Tech-Lorraine are significantly lower than the out-of-state tuition rate at Georgia Tech-Atlanta. Housing costs are also lower at both international campuses which make attending either of these two international campuses more affordable than at Georgia Tech-Atlanta, where non-Georgia residents pay out–of–state tuition.
After spending the first two semesters at either international campus, students in good standing have the option of completing their degree on any of the three Georgia Tech campuses – Atlanta, Lorraine, or Shenzhen. When students exchange to another campus, they pay the tuition and fees for that particular campus.
我有上網了解這個case的情況，我大致上的理解是美國本校區沒錄取我，但如果我有意願想要去他們在法國或深圳的校區可以跟他們說，之後再等分校做出決定要不要錄取我（但上的機率感覺偏高）。學費與生活費比在本校區便宜，且如果第二年有達到申請交換到本校區的資格，在美國讀滿一年可以拿到opt及與在美國本校區畢業一樣的文憑。有看到許多人分享GT深圳校區的情況，我認為比較不好的點是校園很小、師資課程資源比不上本校區、且沒有什麼VLSI領域的老師會教課。
但由於網上資料不多所以還有一些問題想問，希望有經驗的大大可以回答一下我的問題。
1.有沒有人有在法國的分校讀過書可不可以分享一下那裡的師資課程以及經驗、學費生活費大概是多少、那裡的校園讀書環境如何？
2.我目前已經上了幾間學校 Columbia EE, USC EE,ASU EE, Pen state CSE,不知道放棄哥大或南加去GT分校是不是值得的（如果我最後有成功轉到美國本校區然後拿到opt 及文憑的情況下）
3.比較推法國校區還是深圳校區呢？
4.轉到本校區後拿到的文憑會有深圳、法國這些資訊嗎？這對我來說很重要！畢竟是為了想要拿到GT這所理工強校的文憑。
5.若成功申請第二年到本校區的交換，是否要改成research base 才能拿到opt?
6.有沒有人今年已經決定要去GT的其他兩個校區或還在考慮的？有的話可以站內信聊一下！！
希望有好心人士可以給我一些意見或分享你寶貴的經驗！謝謝
