As the title suggests, where do GT students tend to go to grad school? Especially engineers and computer scientists. Please also comment where you get these stats from. Thanks!
I don’t know of any published listing, but if you do well at Tech you can go anywhere for graduate school and top students from Tech have no trouble getting into the top schools in their fields. You still need to do well though and participate in research if you’re aiming for a PhD program. Simply graduating from Tech is not going to gain you admissions into the graduate programs and Tech, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, etc…
Lots of GaTech students do a five year masters program at GaTech. There is priority for strong GaTEch undergrads to get into grad school in many departments, and special program to accelerate your study.
If you want to pay for a masters degree elsewhere, you will have your pick of programs.
If you want a funded graduate program, that is harder but doable, if you plan carefully and show some talent for research work by either finding work on campus or at another university, see REUs in engineering and CS.
Those are funded learning experiences that pay $5000 for ten weeks, at universities across the USA.
College of Computing graduates go to UW Seattle, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and others. I got that information from the Big O Theory Club website and GT students. GaTech hires a lot of Carnegie Mellon PhD grads as faculty. Look at where GaTech faculty come from, thats where you may land, if you work hard in the summers doing research work. To get into a funded PhD program,you will need a good GRE score and top recommendations, and you can get those at GaTech but it will be a lot more work than a terminal bachelors type degree. So you will need to both take more classes,possibly TA math at GaTEch to get a recommendation, also work on a research project for credit, and also find programs to learn more over the summers. Just taking regular engineering or CS summer jobs may not get you the experience with research that you need, so talk to advisors once you get to GaTech.
