[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 775908, member: 4572"] I think the bulk of this is due to older alumni (no offense) who make GT seem like it was hell on earth. And while GT was almost certainly more strenuous back in the day, that mentality has trickled down to their kids, and their friends, and their friends’ kids. Is GT harder on average than most of the other large state schools in the southeast? Probably. But that mostly only holds true in engineering fields. The business school may be marginally more difficult to “get out” of than other similar programs, but it’s not in some other stratosphere. The overwhelming majority of business students at other southeast state schools could get by just fine at Scheller. Other schools have programs that are as competitive and highly touted as GT’s engineering, such as nursing, communications, or agricultural programs. But because GT is almost entirely a STEM based school, those tough programs at other schools don’t hurt the school’s entire reputation like it does at GT. People grow up hearing about how hard GT is, how everyone there is a “nerd”, how there are no girls there, how living in Atlanta is dangerous, how there’s no time to party, how the football team sucks. When those are the pre-conceived notions someone has about a place for 18 years, it’s hard to break once they decide where they want to go to school. [/QUOTE]
