[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 823162, member: 844"] I am currently a HS teacher. I have a student who just came back from touring GT. This kid has a perfect ACT score and has the resume and work ethic to make him Tech material. I asked him for his impressions and he said he felt that the campus was too urban for him. Keep in mind that we are in a suburb of a rather large city ourselves. My son was accepted a decade or so ago and came back from his tour. Told me he didnt feel like it was right for him (curriculum too narrow and he was unsure of his major). I think he was uneasy about telling me but I was glad he made the right choice for him. He grew up a Jacket fan (of course) and I didn't want him there solely because I went there too. I point this out specifically to keep in mind for all of us relative to recruiting. We often times look for subterfuge when a kid chooses another school over GT (grades, cash, coaches can't recruit, etc.) when in reality GT is NOT a perfect fit for everyone. For a lot of valid reasons. [/QUOTE]
