Why is Georgia Tech not in the Top CS program? I thought it was a Top 5 CS program.

I would say it's top 10 to 20 and depends on the company where they consider it. some companies consider hire and put it in their rotation and some don't.
it is indeed a very good program, but it's also very large. So for a company to commit to recruiting from there, they're going to have to put a lot of resources into it.
UIUC is a bit similar.
It's a lot easier for the companies to send one recruiter to a really small prestigious highly ranged program who just gets to know the students and wines and dines them, than it is to send like two to three recruiters and two to three Engineers to Georgia Tech to spend a few days combing through hundreds and hundreds of resumes and trying to find the best 10 people.
this is probably TMI at this point haha
