lol what?

All of them end up working for either Oracle (Larry Ellison) or Apple (Steve Jobs). I don't think Ellison ever graduated and Jobs went to Reed College.

That is not a good yardstick...in that other post, it says the average salary for Yale is $70k. What does that tell you? Not sure.

Is Yale an engineering school? Over 75% of GT is engineering or computer science.

Look at USNews rankings by programs for GA Tech:

Engineering: #4
CompSci: #5
AI: #6
Aerospace: #2
Mechanical: #2

The list goes on for technical fields...essentially, top 5 in just about everything.

Now, I am sure if you look at their rankings in non-technical areas, they are probably not even Top 25.

good for all engineering courses..
But the courses are tough, kids normally are stressed there...ton of weed-out classes

What if DS is not sure on the major yet?

For what major? For aerospace engineering, it’s one of the top schools in the nation. But I wouldn’t go there for poli-sci.

It’s not MIT or Caltech… and it’s not better than say UCLA… it competes with Purdue, it’s in the right general ranking.

All the rankings can't be wrong.

Us news is biased against engineering oriented schools. Caltech, Harvey mudd, and stevens are all rated lower than they should be

Link didn't work but anyone have any insights on the school.
