Hm. that's a tough one. I have colleagues that have attended both. (1) regardless of which choice, you'll be fine academically, professionally, and career wise. (2) now GT and Rice both have very safe campus. of course, downside of both is GT campus is in middle of downtown, and Rice campus ( a friend told me) at night or close to evening is not theplace to even walk (lots of muggings, even a rape). (3) see which one (professor) is more welcoming. go visit. if can't, imho, Houston has a bit more things to do than Atlanta.

so I have a question about that. I was checking the Georgia Tech ECE page, and they say "3.25 minimum GPA." About Me: GPA: 3.2 (3.18 to be exact) in aerospace from Georgia Tech experience: 3 years at NASA (aerospace), but now moving to Air Force (non-military engineering position) in signal processing. USAF tells me they do alot of business with GTRI / GT EE School and sends kids for their masters to GaTech. How will this 3.25 gpa minimum requirement affect my application? I'd imagine...working at NASA and having the USAF pay gatech for a masters would be enough, yes? (also, if you are an ECE or EE BS/MS grad, how difficult is it for an aero/mech BS to get an MS in EE/ECE signal processing? Since it's not analog or optics, i heard it's just alot of math.)
