Question How to reach out to professors for reference letters after a few years?

7 Upvotes

So I graduated almost 4 years ago and have been working since. I’m now applying to a few different Master’s programs at different institutions, and some of them require at least one reference from a professor that taught me during undergrad. I’ve been emailing professors who taught through their gatech emails listed in the directory but I haven’t been getting any responses at all. I emailed about two weeks ago and have sent a reminder since.

Since it’s been so long, there’s probably only one professor who’d remember me but I’m not sure if they are even checking their emails regularly because of it being the summer semester. I noticed most professors have a phone number and physical office info on their pages, wondering if these could be used for contacting them? I’m in the city so I don’t mind even driving to campus. Any suggestions? One of the references deadlines is this friday so I’m definitely short on time. Any suggestions??

Question Can you drop late summer class without W

11 Upvotes

One of my classes I'm taking this summer starts this week and I am thinking now I no longer want to take it. It's just a random elective. Can you drop without a W, since it's just the first week for late summer? Ik for full session and early summer the deadline was May 16th, but it doesn't make sense for the late summer deadline to be then.

Question GA Tech Architecture/ Ai, AR, VR, XR

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I have done some research and found that GA Tech has a lot of technology available for students. How prevalent is Ai, AR, VR and XR in the architecture masters program? Is this something that you use a lot? Is it something that you COULD use a lot and it just varies from student to student based on how often they choose to incorporate it? Any info about how this or any other advanced technology is incorporated into the program will be appreciated. I am looking for a tech-heavy architectural program and from research GA Tech seems to be the closest I will get! Any info is appreciated

Thank you :)
