Date: February 4th, 2026 1:33 AM Author: OldHLSDude Georgia Tech would be my pick if he's a serious engineering student (assume this is undergrad). Reputationally Georgia Tech and Illinois are pretty close, and great at that. UT and UCLA are also very close to each other and considered slightly less prestigious than the other two.
Which location/campus he likes best and cost are factors, of course. Illinois is in the middle of a corn field, Tech is in the middle of Atlanta, UT is in a great college town and UCLA is the LA experience.
Georgia Tech is unusually entrepreneurial. Overall I think it has has the strongest reputation of the four. It's also smaller and more focused on engineering across the university than any of the others. Another + for Tech is that Georgia has been a steadfast and consistent investor in STEM college education and lacks some of the budget problems of Illinois and California.
I've heard from people who work at UCLA that it can, like all the UC schools, be painfully bureaucratic. I have had some personal dealings with Georgia Tech folks and had friends on the faculty there. They act more like a private university than a public. That's a good thing.
There are no bad choices here, but IMO Tech stands out for the above reasons. |

Date: February 5th, 2026 8:08 PM Author: OldHLSDude All of these are very good, highly regarded schools. At this level the individual student characteristics will likely outweigh any institutional differences. However, I feel like Tech is just a hair better. YMMV.

Date: February 4th, 2026 3:48 AM Author: Josh_Allen Georgia Tech and UIUC have the best engineering reputations among those. Can’t go wrong. I’d prefer UIUC for B1G collge town experience. Will be as fun as engineering school could be.
UCLA has the most lay preftige. Admissions there have gotten insane, so congrats to him. |

Date: February 6th, 2026 10:09 AM Author: michael doodikoff because Tech has a real campus, and real frat parties etc, and some dudes there are not complete dorks. GA State is like urban highrise buildings, they have nothing to do. And its nearby, like GSU might have dorms across the street from Tech campus (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5830807&forum_id=2most#49650643) |

Date: February 4th, 2026 3:14 PM Author: scholarship I have several family members who graduated from GT and they all have great jobs and are smart. As mentioned above there are GSU chicks all around too. They wear jean shorts and smell like bum piss but have hot little asses and ovulate constantly. Despite being nerdy engineering types, they have good frat parties and stuff. I visited the chapter of my fraternity there in college and they were completely insane and had lots of fun, would build unbelievably elaborate structures for silly things like beer funnels and water slides and secret rooms and stuff too, just a different breed (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5830807&forum_id=2most#49646711) |
