[QUOTE="yrp, post: 590472, member: 3901"] I dunno if any of you have been students recently but Tech is super crowded, especially CS (which I majored in). I wasn't in a single CS class that had fewer than 50 students (and there was only one class that was that size). Even 3 and 4 thousand level classes had 100-150 students and filled up a CULC or Klaus classroom. Machine Learning had 1000+ students if you count all sections. Two professors split the workload along with maybe 25 or so grad TAs. We can't admit more people into Tech without getting more buildings, housing, and more professors in. We also have 60% in state students - increasing that number is hard considering the fact that OOS and international students pay so much more (not to mention the loss of diversity which will definitely make you a worse engineer). The solution to this isn't to lament the admissions process or hope that Tech makes it easier to get in but to open more engineering schools across GA. I don't think this is related to Tech becoming less practical or anything like that (if that is true, it's a separate issue). [/QUOTE]
