AI summary (from OfferLand data and posts on the site, 2026-10-21)
Georgia Tech and UCLA are both hard to get into on OfferLand, with admit rates of 35% (100 results) and 50% (120 results) and nearly identical admitted profiles: median GPA 3.73 vs 3.71 and TOEFL 102 vs 103. Both are mostly EECS, and the CS master's is tough at each, 20.7% at Georgia Tech (29 results) and 11.5% at UCLA (27 results), with ECE master's at 40% vs 25%. Of the 32 people who applied to both, only 4 were admitted to both and only 1 reported a decision (UCLA), so there is no sign of how most people choose.
