[QUOTE="tomknight, post: 651954, member: 3775"] 3.0 is still pretty superlative. My daughter got out 2 years ago. She went her first year somewhere else, and had a 4.0 in Chem, Bio, Physics, Calc, etc. Then, she came to Tech. I told her coming in it is not like any other thing she'd ever done, and no matter how much I tried to prepare her, there would come a time when she would have to look in the mirror and decide if she was cut out for it or not. Now, she says her job (with one of the most groundbreaking drug firms) is easy to compared to school. And, she says I was right - no matter how much I tried to prepare her, she had the moment when she had to decide if she was made for this or not - if she could do it, on her own - because no one else can do it for you. Her grades recovered somewhat after her first year, but Tech is still a very, very, challenging academic environment. And, like all of us I think, her most recurrent nightmare is that she overslept for an exam, and she wakes up running to class. She asked me a few weeks ago if I had ever had that one, and I told her I'm down to about every 7-10 days now, after being out for 30 years. That place works you - there is no free ride at Georgia Tech. [/QUOTE]
