Barring Ivy league-like schools (i.e. MIT) in eastern US, Georgia Tech is second to none. That includes UIUC, Purdue, and UMich.

Fortunately, it isn’t TOO hard to get into assuming you are in the top 5% in your HS class, with good extracurriculurs and above average SAT scores.

Although GaTech is awesome in engineering overall, it is a little better in some over others…it depends on what you are majoring in.

GaTech is number one in industrial, number two in aerospace, number three in civil, and around 6 or 7 for both EE and ME.
The caveat with aerospace is that it isn’t so great for “space.” GaTech is definitely more focused on the aero. Purdue and UIUC would probably be better for space.
