I got into Georgia Tech. I had poor GRE scores, a high master's GPA, and several publications.

There's a reason IIT ranks so low: IT BASES ITS ACCEPTANCE ON STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES.

MIT, Purdue, and Illinois don't even CONSIDER GRE scores for computer science. They look at RESEARCH record.

IIT just produces drones, or calculators.

IIT is NOT a quality research school. Standardized test scores do NOT mean quality research.

Get it through your head, Indians. IIT is nothing more than a test-based school. It's not a research school. No innovation or brilliant thought comes from there.
