[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 504547, member: 630"] It is true that it is harder to get in but easier to get out. It has gotten much harder to get in just in the last 4 years. If you don't have a 750 math SAT plus excellent grades and you are a non-resident, don't even bother to apply. My son is a first semester transfer. He was SO much more qualified than I was coming out of HS (730 math and A in B/C calculus, for example), but he did not get accepted (neither of us were GA residents). He was able to transfer only because of the Conditional Transfer Pathway for children of alums. He always wanted to go to Tech, and he only applied to two schools--Tech and the one he transferred from. Tech is still hard for STEM majors. I re-live it through my son as he gets his butt kicked. However, he is trying for A's and B's and I was just trying to get out. Clough was no friend of athletics, but he did get rid of the flunk out culture that existed before and after the early '70's when I was there. The flunk out culture needed to go away and it has. When I went to orientation this fall, they stressed all of the academic help that is available. A speaker said "I understand that it used to not be this way." No kidding. They would flunk you out and not even say "sorry" as you were on your way to Vietnam. [/QUOTE]
