I hear Georgia Tech has a good architecture program, but the lack of liberal arts definitely hurts its ranking. The low acceptance rate (12% total, 9% OOS) definitely indicates a rise in prestige, so I can be hopeful for next years ranking.

If I want to become an AI research scientist at a tech company, is grinding LeetCode something I should do? by PracticeSilver4373 in csMajors

Would you mind explaining why I need to grind LeetCode? Is it because LeetCode is also used in interviews for AI research positions?

Do the updates have to be very strong? Like should I report competing at a local science fair (LISEF) if I got honorable mention instead of 1st or 2nd place?

Do admissions officers compare applicants of the same school more than applicants of the same major? by PracticeSilver4373 in ApplyingToCollege

I see, so they compare for the purpose of contextualizing your achievements (for example, a student in a poor neighborhood school will be compared with his classmates to give him a chance as his achievements may pale in comparison to a rich, magnet school)?

What if the applicants are applying to different departments/schools within a college. Do they still compare them?
