[QUOTE="MountainBuzzMan, post: 590441, member: 3069"] I understand how hard it is to get in now and if a legacy does not compare to the people who are getting in, I am fine with that. My only real complaint was we knew a bunch of kids and their credentials. A number of them got in due to race. (Which I am fine with) I felt like the bar used for that should also be applied to legacies. It really comes down to donations. Tech needs to keep accelerating its donations. Yet when they deny a legacy or multi generation legacy but let kids in who are less qualified, most of the time that action stops significant future donations from older grads. Tech was probably going to get a high 7 to 8 digit donation from me when I passed away. (Assuming financials continue at my current pace) But the process soured me toward Tech and I changed my will. Multiple that by all the denied legacies and they are losing a lot of future donations. I feel like with some minor tweaks they can have their cake and eat it to. The article came across as butt hurt without any real answers to solve the problem. Just let in more Georgia kids is not the correct answer without fixing a number of additional issues with the campus [/QUOTE]
