Maybe GT is a bit ahead of UCLA in engineering.
But, for the graduate level, in EE, that is not necessarily the case.
For instance, NRC ranks UCLA EE ahead of GT.
(My field is VLSI).

And I believe there are other advantages to attending UCLA. But I’m not here to brag about UCLA. What I am just saying is, the GT people here seem a little arrogant, ie “virtually everyone would rank gt ahead of ucla”, and “GT is the best out of the three”, etc etc. I hear it constantly, and 99% of the time from BanjoHitter or some other GT affiliated person.

BTW: I have not asked my friends. I asked two tenured professors in Comp. E and EE, and they both told me to go to UCLA over GT, although one of them said UIUC is the best of the three. So I ultimately chose UCLA where I will attend in the fall for MSEE. Please don’t make me regret it, hehe.
