Bingo! We have a winner. Ask me how I know. (Though the almost guaranteed acceptance via the Conditional Transfer Pathway is unique.)

Tech had 3436 transfer applications for fall 2020. 41% admit rate.

From GT Admissions: In terms of data on pathways, I can tell you that 54% of our 2020 transfers entered via pathways vs. 46% “regular transfer.” We do not collect SAT/ACT for transfer students (nor do any USG schools). All pathway students must have a minimum college GPA of 3.3 or higher and...

That's *just* for Tech applicants!

The following stats are from the class of 2020 at Walton High School in East Cobb. NOTE: I hand counted the number of perfect scores from a scattergram so the numbers may be off by one or two. Otherwise, the data was direct from Naviance and reflects Walton only.

If an important measure is deaths (or severe illness) / infections, is it better that the denominator (still unknown because of testing limitations) is small or large? A small denominator implies the virus isn't spreading quickly but a large one implies the virus may not be as dangerous as feared.

March 18 CDC update posted moments ago: Total cases: 7,038 Total deaths: 97

I read a Twitter debate about whether the virus was airborne or not. One guy said it doesn't meet the scientific definition of airborne and the other said it could be transmitted through the air so that was good enough for him. It appears they were both right more or less...

I'm entirely happy with being a top-flight MCLA program. The guys on the field are outstanding examples of true student-athletes - they represent Tech well on the field and in the classroom.

Well, that was an embarrassing weekend.

I'm looking for two for the Miami game.
