[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 551307, member: 198"] This is just ignorant, stupid talk. Georgia Tech produces the highest number of black engineers and the highest number of female engineers in the nation. There is no issue with minorities and admission to Georgia Tech. It's been that way since the 80's, at least. My son is applying to Georgia Tech this year. He hasn't heard back yet. As a legacy, if he isn't admitted this year, he is GUARANTEED ADMISSION next year if he has a 3.3 gpa with at least 30 semester hours of college credit. My son scored a 35 on the ACT, went to one of the best high schools in the nation (New Trier HS just north of Chicago), and has the AP classes. He probably will not get accepted, and that has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the caliber of student applying to Tech. 700 on the Math section of the SAT is below the 50th percentile of those admitted to GT last year. It's tough to get in now, but as a legacy, you're guaranteed an opportunity, whereas, a non-legacy has to get in on their own merits. [/QUOTE]
