<p>My thoughts exactly.</p>
<p>Yeah right, boneh3ad. I will believe you got those graduate admission if you post your acceptance letter but far as I know, there’s no valid reason for anyone to pass out on UIUC/Gatech mechanical/aerospace engineer over Texas A&M. </p>
<p>Gatech is known as south MIT for aerospace engineer and been 2nd place for numerous years in the past. I highly doubt you chose TAMU grad school over Gatech/UIUC with the admission for all those schools. Stop lying to yourself like aggieenginner.</p>

<p>Well unfortunately you are not getting anything from me because I don’t really feel like giving you any sort of contact information for myself, but if you really want to know, go ask Dr. Ari Glezer in the ME department (works with AERO as well). He would have been my advisor. Need proof that I have been there? His labs are (mainly) in the basement of the Love building where he has several wind tunnels, but his office is on the second floor. If I recall, it was about halfway towards the back of the leftmost hallway. He was working on, among other things, a high-lift wing design sponsored by Boeing.</p>
<p>My final two choices came down to TAMU and GT, and while I really liked Dr. Glezer, the chance to work with an NAE member/AIAA Fellow/ASME Fellow whose research involved a Mach 6 wind tunnel at TAMU was too great to pass up. I went to TAMU. GaTech has no meaningful hypersonics research on this scale.</p>
<p>GT is an awesome school. It really is. Saying that TAMU is garbage compared to it and that there are absolutely no areas where it is better is entirely bogus. Go ask around your aero department and see if they have a wind tunnel capable of Mach 6 Quiet Flow.</p>
<p>You might also notice that even in your beloved USNWR rankings, TAMU is tied at #10 with UT-Austin, which, while not #2, is still a top 10 program. I believe it has been ranked as high as #5 at times.</p>
<p>I have no need for background search on you to prove you are lying about your admission to your list of schools. I love how you put up some lame excuse to cover up your inability to get admission to top graduate schools.</p>
<p>Believe what you wish, but what I say is true. Could care less whether you believe me or like me. I have plenty of real life friends, a fiancee, a life, a track to a PhD from one of the leading minds in my field, and more people skills than you will ever have. Have a good life putting everyone down because they disagree with you and didn’t go to the #1 school according to USNWR.</p>
<p>Adieu!</p>

<p>I didn’t apply to GaTech, but 3 years ago when I applied to undergrad I did get into UT Austin and chose TAMU over it. The selection of TAMU over UT Austin is pretty common actually… maybe you should look into it further.</p>
<p>How somebody smart enough to get into Georgia Tech can fail to understand that research foci can differ enough among institutions that broadly-based rankings are inherently meaningless… that’s way beyond me.</p>
<p>If this guy really is in the program at GaTech, which I am beginning to doubt, he is probably only there for its high ranking. As for the rest of us, doing things for the right reasons is its own reward.</p>
