What Makes Georgia Tech Different
STEM-Focused Strength
Especially strong in engineering, CS, robotics, AI, aerospace, and industrial engineering. Students interested in technical careers often choose Georgia Tech over many private universities.
Co-op & Internship Culture
One of the most structured co-op programs in the US. Students alternate semesters of study and paid work, graduating with significant industry experience and professional networks.
Atlanta Advantage
Major corporate headquarters, growing tech industry, logistics/aerospace companies, and consulting firms. Lower cost of living than NYC/SF/LA.
Dr. Karan Gupta's tip: Georgia Tech is often underestimated. Students assume “Public university = easier.” Not for engineering or CS. Georgia Tech rewards strong math/science readiness, technical curiosity, and evidence of building or solving problems. Applicants who treat it as a backup misjudge its selectivity. Talk to us.
