[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 826560, member: 198"] Georgia Tech is required by law to have 60% instate admissions minimum. If 4000 new kids com in as undergrads each year, then 2400 in-state kids are being accepted. Let’s say 1/2 are engineering, that’s 1200 in-state engineering students per year coming into the program. (These are guesses because I don’t want to take the time to look this up.) We have a 97% graduation rate now, so we don’t have that 2/3 drop off we used to have. That means almost 1200 new engineers with ties to the state are being released back into the Georgia wild every year. That’s a lot of engineers for jobs in the state of Georgia each year. Some will go elsewhere, others from elsewhere will stay. It probably balances out. On top of all this, I’m not sure how many 4.0, high Board scores, lots of extra curriculars are actually being turned away. I realize there have been several mentioned here, but this may be a very small population. You’re talking about doubling the engineering undergraduate population. We already offer about 7,000 kids a year. Only 41% accept. I’m all for bigger and better, as long as it’s better not just bigger. [/QUOTE]
