Depends on the company when it comes to CS. I know plenty of managers in industry who love having Georgia Tech people on their teams because their program is well-known for its intense projects. Similarly, there exist very well-known companies who recruit from UIUC, but not from UCLA. Both schools are very well respected in the software industry, and they shouldn’t be discounted by any means.</p>
<p>Having said that, UCLA is an excellent choice. The program is well-suited for industry, the professors do very solid research, the campus environment is excellent, and the location is tough to beat.</p>
