Why is it such a great school?

Actually, the Revealed Preference makes sense to me, particularly in light of Georgia Tech’s high acceptance rate. The applicant pool is likely very self-selecting and, given the school’s prominence in engineering, an acceptance to GT is a big deal.

According to a little analysis I did a few months ago, GT has 9 engineering programs ranked in the top 10 with an average ranking of 5.33. The top five were:


MIT-10 programs, average rank of 2.90
Stanford-11 programs, average rank of 4.73
UC Berkeley-11 programs, average rank of 5.09
Georgia Tech-9 programs, average rank of 5.33
U Illinois-12 programs, average rank of 5.58
