[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 510397, member: 789"] Somebody needs to haul Peterson out of town & tell him not to come back. There’s several elements to the getting easier: A. Shift from quarters to semesters. In quarters you can be on probation in Qtr 2, on warning in Qtr 3 and ejected before your Sophomore year even starts. Can’t go that fast in Semesters obviously. B. The grading has really changed. The All Man’s average now is probably 3.2 (I know they don’t publish All Man’s any more). There’s far more opportunities to get A’s & B’s now than ever before as opposed to when the All Man’s average was 2.6 C. They let you have a do-over which was unheard of in the good old days. How’d you liked to replace your F with a C or a D with a B on the second go-around? Would have done wonders for my GPA. D. There’s a lot more tolerance for accepting transfer credit. If you’re slick you take the ball buster classes off-site & transfer them in. Once again, we’re trying to compare 1960 or 1980 to 2018.Times have changed. GT grads have a reputation of being able to hack it in the most difficult circumstances in industry and it’s largely due to the pressures they’re subjected to while at GT. We don’t need to turn our undergrads into a bunch of thumb sucking snowflakes & coddle them like little entitled brats. It doesn’t mean Johnny is a bad person or has failed at life if he can’t handle the academic workload at GT. Same as ringing the bell at BUD/S, etc. There’s plenty of phenomenally successful people that didn’t go to GT. Hell, I have close friends that failed out of GT & went to other top national universities and got their PhD’s and have had a far better career than I had. Why do academic types come to GT in droves after hearing the phrase “I got out” instead of graduating & still chose to come while it chases away manly college football player types? Makes no sense.
