I am an international student and I have got into computer engineering(undergraduate) in uiuc and gatech but i am just not able to decide which one to choose. The weather is not much of an issue. From which college is there a greater chance of getting into a good IT company? I have heard that there are not many companies around Urbana Champaign, as in it is isolated, so placement is easier from georgiatech. But the cs program of uiuc is considered better than that of georgiatech. I have also heard that the course at gatech is much harder to an extent that many students drop out. So which one to choose?? If two students are equally qualified, but one is from Gatech and the other from UIUC, who would be preferred by a good company like oracle, google etc. ?
They would be rated equally. Both schools have phenomenal engineering programs. A couple ranks higher doesn’t really mean anything. Both candidates would have a chance to land a job with a big company, but they would be differentiated based on intangible qualities and what they made of their college experience. You will ultimately succeed at the school in which you are happier. I would decide based on fit. Also is cost an issue? Less debt could be the deciding factor.
Thanks collegekid3456!! No cost is not that big an issue
