<p>They’re absolutely outstanding. As we discussed in another thread, all of the top name companies come to GT. Not only do you have the top oil and gas, aerospace, programming, manufacturing, etc. companies on campus, but you have the high prestige employers as well (investment banks, management consulting, venture capital, hedge funds, GE management training, Google, etc). The opportunities coming out of Tech are very hard to find at any other school, even the other top engineering schools other than Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, and Michigan. To put it another way, the top students out of GT compete for the same jobs as the top MIT and Harvard students. </p>
<p>That said, Tech has a lot of opportunity but it’s a big school meaning that there’s a lot of competition for those jobs. If you’re in the top 10% of the class, the really high salary / high impact positions are open to you. If you’re in the top 30% or so, there are some really good positions but those very top positions are out of reach (where as top 30% at MIT still have those opportunities). The top 50% will have multiple job offers and find a position with a very competitive salary at a nationally respected company. The top 75% will find a job but can’t be as picky. The bottom 25% will probably not find a job at graduation unless they work exceptionally hard identifying opportunities.</p>
<p>Honestly, I think it’s insane to give up a free ride to GT unless it’s for a very exceptional school like Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, MIT, etc.</p>
