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?

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?

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.)

Understandable misconception, but he went there.

Not being able to recognize cluelessness in other people might just be an understatement.

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?

Yeah, I suppose so.

Virginia Tech is also public.

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