hey everyone,

i'm weighing Georgia Tech and UIUC cs. Looking at the GT cs course catalog, I found a lot of specialized 4000- level classes (GPU Programming for Video Games, ML for Trading, Cyber Warfare, etc.) that uiuc doesn't seem to have equivalents to (still a great curriculum regardless). ik i want to take a breadth of courses in cs, but marginal differences aren't a deal-breaker.

what are some of your experiences with these classes? are they a significant pro for GT? thanks for any help!

4000 level classes are specialized in general. The GPU class is only offered over the summer, but the professor records it on YouTube if you’d like to scope it out. Heard lots of great things about him.
