JamesMadison - I never went nor applied to GT, nor UCLA. I’m at UIUC. I know a few GT grads, and they all appear to be performing at a higher level than the vast majority of their peers (all from good schools). When I solicited suggestions for grad school, senior engineers and managers at my company included GT as a good reach school for me.

Interestingly, you seem to have made my point:



Well, the three professors I asked (two at my school, 1 in texas), ALL told me that UCLA’s graduate EE program is stronger than Georgia Tech’s in VLSI.



UCLA may be the better school in your particular specialty, that doesn’t make it better overall.
