Well said, @CabreraAngel. Kudos to all the @gtcomputing schools on this accomplishment, and to all our @GeorgiaTech partner schools on their awesome showing as well.
Our computer science programs are not just the largest in the country but, according to @usnews, they are among the best: @gtcomputing undergraduate program ranked #6 today (use rankings carefully, look up methodology, compare, before choosing a school!)
