[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 310061"] I read a quote recently from someone we were chasing who said academics was a huge piece of their decision making process, because he wants to make the NFL and take care of his Mom forever. So sometimes people say one thing, but mean another. Like they want a school that will stand behind them and support them enough so they can stay in school, hopefully graduate, but at least make it long enough to reach the NFL. Other folks say that academics matter and really just mean they want to go to a major university. And still others mean quality of education itself is what they mean. Often times we forget these are 17 and 18 year old kids that speak and mean things differently than we might. When I talk to other kids who are looking at Tech and getting intimidated, I tell them it doesn't mean you have to learn the theory of relativity, know it by heart, and how to calculate different things. Sure, when you are in those Physics classes, you better. But what a degree from Georgia Tech means you had the discipline and work ethic to survive all that stuff and that will translate to your integrity, work ethic, and success in the workplace. You'll forget a lot of what you learn and that's okay. [/QUOTE]
