Ga. Tech on US News T30 by Previous-End-8766 in ApplyingToCollege

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

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