[QUOTE="Techster, post: 543173, member: 360"] The biggest thing I gather from that isn't that GT has a wide admissions gap between general population and SAs, it's that GT is doing a f$cking great job graduating SAs. When that article was written in 2014, the grad rate was 79%...which is still impressive. Now I believe it's in the 80's. Then you look at what UGA is doing. Are you kidding me? As a GT coach, IMO, you can walk into any room and have the confidence to tell any kid if he works as hard off the field as on the field, he'll have an elite degree that less than 1% of the world has. Sell exclusivity. All CGC needs to do is point to the grad rate, and point to academic rankings. Those are facts that other schools can't refute. CGC made it known that academics isn't taking a backseat to athletics under his watch: players have to sit on the front row, mandatory tutoring attendance unless they are senior enough with a certain GPA, GPA competitions, etc. (CGC had a special sticker that Temple players got to put on their helmets if they had a 3.0+ GPA). For those that are worried that our APR is about to take a big hit to compromise for signing more elite players, I think that fear is misguided. I think CGC is 100% bought in and aligned with TStan's Total Person program...which is why CGC emphasizes being elite in every phase in life. [/QUOTE]
