GT's CS looks pretty good too. I'm a senior in HS and I'm applying there for CS with the same basic goal.
Tech has a college of computing, which I think will be nice (especially compared to being thrown in w/ engineering and having to do all those extra required classes). And they have "threads" where you specialize in 2 aspects of CS (and you do 1 thread if you do computational media), which is cool.
Seriously though, we're completely separate from the engineers, have a brand new building (The Gates-Hillman Center), and all the professors are working on cool stuff all the time. It's worth the application fee (if there is one?)
