GA Tech Class of 2025 EA1 and EA2

Being in Texas and Austin, UT can’t be beat for price and convenience. I live in Austin too. And if your kid needs something, it’s a short drive for you.

For both CS and business their outcomes will be similar at either school.

That said GT and UT aren’t similar schools.

UT has 40,000 undergrads
GT has 15,000 undergrads

UT mf ratio 50/50
GT mf ratio 60/40

UT instate OOS ratio 90/10
GT instate OOS ratio 60/40

GT has 3 CS buildings and 2400 undergrads.
UT has 1 CS building and 1500 undergrads.

GT has 1200 business undergrads.
UT has 11,000 business undergrads.

GT is a engineering school with 40 majors, and the smartest public school in the country.

UT is a state university with 200 majors, and the second smartest public school in Texas.

The UT academic equivalent to GT is being in UT honors programs - UT Engineering Honors, CS Turing, Business Honors.

GT getting your classes and transferring majors is easy. UT nope, and you can only transfer to less desirable majors.

GT students can live in on campus dorms all 4 years. UT nope, just freshman year.

UT sports…eh. GT occasionally but usually nope.

GT’s campus is actually larger and nicer than UT’s and very green by comparison. UT is claustrophobic and devoid of greenery.

Austin is a walkable town, if you don’t mind the homeless. Atlanta no, don’t do that.
