<p>From the last year batch, I know someone who picked UM over Gatech and I also know someone who picked Gatech over UM. Go Figure!! We met them in April at the tech thingy for admitted students.</p>
<p>My son had BME from several places but we were seriously considering Case Western and Gatech in the end. He chose Gatech since he liked the vibe better. And just this sem he switched from BME to EE. </p>
<p>Since Gatech has strong engineering program, you cant go wrong picking Gatech, in case you decide that you dont like BME and want to switch to something else. Gatech all engineering programs are in top 10. Case Western were not and I dont know the rankings of engineering programs of UM, but AFAIR only a few were in top 10.</p>
