Georgia tech has been fairly stable in the ratings and will likely improve with continued declines in acceptance rate. Last year it was ranked 35 out of national universities. It was also the number 7 public university. (ahead were UCLA, UC Berkely, UVA, UMich, UNC and William and Mary). Their ranking is held back somewhat due to the graduation rate. Due to co-ops and internships it can take longer than 4 years to graduate.
