[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 935296, member: 630"] This is absolutely true both from personal experience and being told that fact by someone who has been very involved in Tech alumni boards for years. "Less emphasis on legacies" may be understating the attitude towards alums. My older son used the transfer pathway to get into and graduate from Tech--with Honors in IE. If he could graduate with honors, wasn't he qualified out of HS? The story of my younger son is worse. He had a 790 math SAT, graduated from the top public HS in the US (according to US News) won a national award for engineering in a robotics competition, etc. He was rejected but given the transfer pathway option. He was admitted to another top 10 CS program, so he went there. Why would he then want to transfer to Tech? Tech's attitude towards legacies cost Tech a good student and made this alum unhappy. My wife and I were going to give Tech a sizeable donation if both boys ended up there. Instead, I cut my Roll Call donation for a few years. The shaft never ends. [/QUOTE]
