<p>UIUC = Gatech > UCLA by ranking</p>
<p>It depends entirely on your specialty - one of the best guys in my specialty (computational electrmagnetics) is at Northwestern, not exactly a stellar name in electrical engineering! So which school has the professors that excite you with their work?</p>
<p>I personally would’ve chosen Georgia Tech because not only is their program a great one, I was a Georgia state resident when I was applying for graduate school and would’ve paid in-state tuition. Honestly I think you can’t go wrong with either UIUC or Tech - they’re about on par as far as mechanical engineering programs go.</p>
<p>anyone? Thanks</p>
<p>Usually by now applicants have a gut feeling about where they would best fit in, even if they aren’t yet ready to admit it. Follow your instincts. Don’t worry about prestige or what other people might advise. Instead, consider the professors you would study with and the general atmosphere of the program. Do you fit in, both academically and personally? Do you like how the program is structured? Out of your choices, which would have disappointed you most if they had rejected you?</p>
<p>thanks, but I dun really have a gut feeling. I am still pretty open to all 3 choices</p>
<p>UCLA seems to be a really fun place to be.
Atlanta seems to be a little “unorganized”
Illinois is just too cold</p>
