<p>I personally believe Banjo is overstating the advantage of a GaTech degree versus one obtained at U Florida. At my aerospace company, for undergraduate work, we actually do not distinguish between these two schools, nor do we give preferential treatment to any of the other 25 key-schools on our recruitment list. It will come down to the student and his accomplishments. For thesis-oriented graduate work, it will come down to the student and his publications and quality and alignment of his research. This much is a fact in my area of expertise, but in other areas of engineering, of which Banjo appears to be an expert, YMMV.</p>
