[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 280510, member: 198"] The Administration has changed the philosophical approach to undergraduate students. There is no way you go from 35% (4-year) retention to +97% freshman retention without a whole-sale change in approach. Whereas GT has historically been easier to get into as a Georgia resident, it's much more difficult now. Unfortunately, a large portion of that 65% loss were in-state students who were just not prepared for the rigor of the Tech freshman experience. My understanding is that the Georgia residents enrolling today are a much higher caliber student than when I was in school in the late 80's/early 90's. Couple this with a de-emphasis on weed-out classes, and it's just a different environment. Ivy leagues have been using this approach since time immemorial. [/QUOTE]
