  <title><![CDATA[Georgia Tech Ranks No. 16 on WalletHub’s List of Best Colleges and Universities]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><span><span>WalletHub, a financial website, crunched the numbers to determine the top-performing, lowest-cost schools for undergraduates. </span></span></p>

<p><span><span>Georgia Tech came in at No. 16 out of 857 colleges and universities nationwide. Two other Georgia schools finished in the top 100: Emory University at No. 31 and the University of Georgia at No. 64.</span></span></p>

<p><span><span>The schools were compared in seven areas: student selectivity; cost and financing; faculty resources; campus safety; campus experience; educational outcomes; and career outcomes. <a href="https://wallethub.com/edu/e/college-rankings/40750">WalletHub</a> evaluated those dimensions using 30 relevant metrics, each graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the best school performance. Georgia Tech’s overall score of 74.02 landed the Institute in the No. 16 position. </span></span></p>

<p><span><span>In each of the seven categories, Georgia Tech ranked:</span></span></p>

<ul>
	<li><span><span><span>Student selectivity: 45th</span></span></span></li>
	<li><span><span><span>Cost and financing: 613th</span></span></span></li>
	<li><span><span><span>Faculty resources: 765th</span></span></span></li>
	<li><span><span><span>Campus safety: 260th</span></span></span></li>
	<li><span><span><span>Campus experience: 197th</span></span></span></li>
	<li><span><span><span>Educational outcomes: 32nd</span></span></span></li>
	<li><span><span><span>Career outcomes: 13th</span></span></span></li>
</ul>

<p><span><span>Georgia Tech is the top-ranked public school in the list of best colleges and universities. </span></span></p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
