[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 429006, member: 198"] There's no hubris here. The facts are simple. I did some research about 20 years ago. I went through the Top 100 Universities listed in the USN&WR and listed out the gpa requirement for Dean's List or equivalent. There was only one school that only required a 3.0 gpa. There are hundreds of fantastic universities and colleges throughout the US. No one is questioning the quality of education one can get somewhere else. Bottom line is that the most common factor (other than love for Tech sports) on this site is that a large percentage of us matriculated at Tech. These are the experiences we have. I never consciously chose to use the term "I got out," but I do. It wasn't until someone pointed it out later that I realized I did it too. I don't brag about "getting out," but I do say "I got out in 1993" as opposed to saying "I graduated in 1993." I'm not sure why TStan has such an issue with this. It is an honor to graduate from Georgia Tech. It's not easy. That diploma is well deserved when it's awarded, and student-athletes should understand that. I think 18-year old kids should think deeply about whether they're willing to put in the effort it takes to make it through Tech. It's the same effort it will take to get through some other well respected programs, but also much more than some others. A student -athlete that doesn't take Tech's academics seriously won't be here long. [/QUOTE]
