[QUOTE="CEB, post: 952667, member: 4905"] +1 My family had no ties to Tech when I came down. My oldest son applied and was not admitted. Unfortunately, he just missed conditional transfer requirement as a soph and was not admitted as a junior. He’s finishing in Athens now... still struggling with that. I don’t anticipate either of my younger two will have an interest in Tech (or be admitted), so I’m another data point for you. There is certainly a sense of community / family at those other schools because of the ability / willingness to take more kids. It’s the price of being an elite (yes, I said it, and its accurate in this case) academic institution. Academics is first and foremost... which arguably, is how it should be. At any rate, its not how you build family bonds, its not how you attract sidewalk fans, its not how you become embraced by the community / city, but I realize that is not the goal. Part of me is proud that Tech realizes and champions that stance and part of me is very frustrated by it. [/QUOTE]
