> and now doing a master's at a large state university ahh, Georgia Tech

• praneshp 10y ago
  I went to Georgia Tech, and a small subset of Indians there matched the "bachelors in India + work in consultancy" description. I didn't feel anyone there was clueless though. Definitely no fake resume shit. It is possible that I'm clueless, and cannot identify clueless people. Thanks to you, TIL that Tech is a state university. Never knew.

    You didn't know George Tech was a state school? Does that have some special meaning other than public?
    • praneshp 10y ago
      No, I did not. I thought it was privately owned (like Stanford, Johns Hopkins, USC, etc).

        LMAO. I'm sorry but that's hilarious. How many years were you there?
        • paulddraper 10y ago
          I didn't go there, but I thought the same. "Techs" seem to always be private...MIT, Cal Tech, Florida Tech, etc. (Oh, by the way, Florida Tech definitely fits the aforementioned stereotype.)

            Virginia Tech is also public.

            Understandable misconception, but he went there. Not being able to recognize cluelessness in other people might just be an understatement.

              Yeah, I suppose so.
            • praneshp 10y ago
              Except for reading up on the school's history (which I wasn't too keen to), is there another indication that a school is public?

          2, got a MS there, after a Bachelors in India. You must be thinking I fit the profile :-)
