<p>I have been accepted to both Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech. I am having trouble even leaning towards one school over the other. For me, as a Virginia resident, Virginia Tech is cheaper, but I have looked at the USNWR and seen that Georgia Tech is ranked higher. I would like to know what will be the difference in job/internship opportunities, and would one college be preferred over the other if my end goal (other than starting a career) is to attend MIT for grad school (did not apply for undergrad).</p>
<p>Both schools have <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys-4.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/internships-careers-employment/1121619-university-graduate-career-surveys-4.html</a> , but VT’s provides more detail.</p>
<p>Can you afford Georgia Tech?</p>
<p>I am still waiting on the details of my financial aid and scholarships I applied for.</p>
<p>More input would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>Until you know whether GT is affordable, there’s no point deliberating whether you ought to go there. Did you receive the extra information yet?</p>
<p>To put it plainly, if I want to go to Georgia Tech, I can afford it, but I would like to know if it would be a good investment or would Virginia Tech have the same caliber of program for a better price.</p>
<p>By the way, I am doing Aerospace Engineering.</p>
<p>Since you have such a specific major, you probably should ask both departments and both career centers about job placement.</p>
<p>For your major the ranking of the university doesn’t matter. Perception of that department within that professional field is what counts.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the perceptions of the departments?</p>
<p>FWIW: [Aerospace</a> / Aeronautical / Astronautical | Rankings | US News](<a href=“http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-doctorate-aerospace-aeronautical-astronautical]Aerospace”>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-doctorate-aerospace-aeronautical-astronautical)</p>
<p>Thank you, but I was looking for something other than the usnwr. Any employer surveys of where they recruit from? Btw, I already looked at the wsj. Thanks.</p>
<p>I work, and part-time recruit, at a major aerospace company. While GaTech may be slightly higher ranked, we recruit at both schools equally, and there is no real advantage either way.</p>
<p>Thank you that information is very helpful. Does anyone have any information about graduate school opportunities?</p>
