[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the one who said UVA is more prestigious, absolutely not in engineering.

GT is like Ivy League of engineering. UVA is not known for engineering. Indeed, Virginia Tech would be higher status than UVA in engineering. [/quote]
This isn't how undergrad prestige works, that's why grad schools have subject rankings and undergrad has overall rankings. UVa is simply more prestigious for undergrad...[/quote]

And yet, look how many folks on this board who know engineering were like absolutely GT without a question. [i] If you care about prestige in your neighborhood, sure, maybe UVA. If you care about prestige in the field your child is entering, there is just no comparison.[/i] GT is one of the top schools and EVERY engineering firm knows it. GT is way way way way more prestigious in engineering. You should understand that in engineering, it's like not far behind MIT. So it's just not true that UVA is "simply more prestigious."

Before my kid went into engineering I thought Georgia Tech was a good-ish school but I wouldn't have known the difference between Georgia Tech and UGA. Now I find that crazy that I didn't know that Georgia Tech is truly in top 5 reputation in country for engineering. The prestige is through the roof. Including for undergrad graduates. [/quote]

Completely agree with this. My boyfriend in HS got in to both Georgia Tech and MIT for Aerospace. He picked Georgia Tech and loved that it had D1 sports and better weather. [/quote]
