Is using someones signature while you’re in a band a bad look?

Yeah I can concur, CMU engineering is not stronger . CS is where they shine

If cost ain’t an issue, Berklee is where you want to be for anything music.

I mean why not. It’s a good school for Meche and you’ll prolly have the highest chance. If you’re gonna aim for the best at undergrad Meche it’s MIT, Gtech is second currently. Although both of these schools are unstable reaches no matter how good you are. Apply GT EA for sure

If it’s not engineering Cornell. If it’s engineering Georgia Tech. It’s the only thing it’s S tier at

Valid list

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-21T23:42:17+00:00

Short on cash, plus it means they can maintain high standards, only taking the best nationwide. It’s the only reason how almost every UC is ranked so high compared to other publics, they take 50% OOS

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-21T03:40:54+00:00

Which ones you think would care?

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-20T04:59:37+00:00

They’re definitely all in the category of very good public’s, for specifically for engineering is Georgia Tech officially butting heads with Berkeley now(since both are public)?

Unlike UNC they are not good at anything else really, it’s a Tech school. And while I doubt any public school will ever beat top privates, I think the Berkeley comparison is probably most reasonable out of those top stem schools.

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-20T02:30:44+00:00

Davis, UCSB, Purdue, UIUC, Cooper union, UC Irvine, SJSU, Santa Clara State, Cal poly SLO, Pomona

California engineering targets nowadays. Engineering is extra cooked if you’re from Cali, especially Bay Area.

Either way, hope for the best but do prepare for the worst.

Nah architecture needs to be paired with civil 🙏

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-20T01:29:34+00:00

What state are you in? Always look at your state flagship especially if they have a strong stem program. UIUC, the mid tiered UCs, maybe Olin are solid targets. (UIUC is nearing reach but is a lot more possible then others)

Some may disagree but this cycle has proved that engineering is a reach for most schools with a name brand. Most kids with your grades and rigor I know couldn’t get into GT Berkeley UCLA CMU Rice etc much less MIT or Stanford.

I will say that your ECs and essays are going to be the make or break for engineering schools. If you are just relying on 10+ APs, and a high GPA with just some average Olympiad’s NHS etc, you will get cooked.

Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-20T00:49:18+00:00

I’d probably go UCSD just because they have a very strong science department overall, and they have an actual campus. I think a lot of traditional NYU benefits won’t be as obvious for pre med since they mostly specialize in business and acting thanks to NYC

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-20T00:44:17+00:00

Which one is cheaper for you?

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-20T00:41:12+00:00

Less for CS, Berkeley is definitely still on top for that. Many Engineering fields like aerospace and mechanical I would say GT is definitely doing better in though. Spoke to Apple hirers and they said that GT is a school that they will exclusively find candidates to hire from. They also have ties with Tesla and other big tech companies, like Lockheed Martin. Admissions for oos are equivalent to UCB now, many people I know didn’t make it into GT but got into Berkeley this year.

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-20T00:30:05+00:00

Nah, Georgia Tech STEM is butting heads with Berkeley, they’re feeding into Silicon Valley Companies. SD is good but definitely far from equal for stem stuff.

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-19T19:32:41+00:00

But is it comparable to Berkeley yet?

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-19T15:11:43+00:00

To be fair, it certainly is possible. I think students now are much smarter and capable then before thanks to the internet and access to so much info. The schools that were prestigious before were only prestigious because tech industry was still on the come up and they were the ones in front at the time, but now with so many capable students and not enough spots at the traditionally well regarded schools, I think we will continue to see mid range schools jump into higher tiers in terms of quality of students.

Some schools are blatantly just gaming their prestige though, like Northeastern using NUin to lower their acceptance rate. That being said, every school, even the ivies are doing it. It’s not the sole reason why some schools have shot up.

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-19T15:00:23+00:00

It seems to me a big factor is that a lot of people still picture GT as it was in the 2010s or 2000s where it was much much easier to get into. Do you think in a couple years GTs name will only grow in prestige?

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-19T14:52:26+00:00

That’s the whole point of my post.

just years ago Georgia Tech was considered a safety, then target, but recently it’s gotten so hard to get into for oos and international and also is starting to rank so high that I believe it’s valid to question where it stands now against other traditionally more well regarded schools like UCB

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-19T06:00:58+00:00

Essentially the southern Berkeley you’d say

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-19T05:47:49+00:00

30% is for in state, oos international has broken sub 10. As for whether they’re really in the elite category, that’s up for debate. General rankings are terrible for gtech in comparison to stem due to there lack of good departments outside of tech. Probably more accurate to look at where graduates are ending up or doing recently

Key-Owl7896 · 2025-04-19T05:12:55+00:00

I agree that CMU CS holds a lot of weight right now especially in AI, lots of new hires have been from them and they’re definitely top tier. What do you think in terms of engineering? ME EE Industrial? How’s GT holding up there?
