[QUOTE="Techster, post: 61035, member: 360"] Sorry, still not seeing where my link says if a school has 75% or higher STEM majors, they are DESIGNATED a STEM school. As the first sentence in the article I linked to says : [B]What are the leading STEM universities in the U.S.? As part of the [/B][URL='http://usnewsstemsolutions.com/'][B]U.S. News STEM Solutions[/B][/URL][B] conference, we are publishing an exclusive new list of the [/B][URL='http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities'][B]National Universities[/B][/URL][B] from our 2013 Best Colleges rankings [U]that grant the largest proportion of bachelor's degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.[/U] [/B] Yes, GT has one the highest proportions compared to other universities on the list DCS links to, but as you can see in that list (which includes Clemson, NC State, Duke...we are not even the only STEM school in the ACC), DCS original statement is false. As for your examples of Autry, Custis, JHD...were they the only available kids in GA? No, they were the only kids in GA the staff could land. Past kids like Stephon Tuitt (Notre Dame...who was pretty much across the threshold), Jordan Jenkins (now at UGA), James Vaughters (Stanford), Deshaun Watson (Clemson) were all highly sought after GA kids that considered GT or were offered by GT but chose to go elsewhere. All of those guys were high academic caliber kids as well. For every kid that failed to do well at GT, there's another GA kid that GT recruited that's doing well academically at other schools.
