[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 428934, member: 195"] It's been said before but perhaps needs repeating. I don't know when the UselessNews effect kicked in, but, before that, Tech was easier in and harder out. You couldn't get in as a stiff, but if you were top 10% (wag) of your class, especially in math, especially in-state, and maybe willing to start in the summer, you could get in. However, you only had a couple of quarters to wake-up to the reality that you needed to study and work. Professors did not have administrators with retention and "satisfaction" statistics over their shoulders. I don't know freshman retention, but it wasn't 97%, maybe not half that. Swim or sink was the pedagogy of Tech full stop, not just one class, no longer required. I appreciate that Tech still challenges and pushes a more select student body. Still, I suspect the difference is greater than many appreciate. I got in as a kid from FL because I was willing to start in the summer. I retook a Chem class and a Calc class because of Ds. I got out getting A's in 4th year AE classes. I'm sorry, but I'm proud to say, "I got out." Is Dean's List still a 3.0? [/QUOTE]
