Agreed. I've hired a lot of people and interviewed a ton more. I don't put a lot of stock in to where a degree is from these days. One of my worst had a business degree from Harvard and one of my best had gotten her undergrad from MTSU and an MBA from Phoenix. The Harvard guy didn't last more than a couple of weeks before we had to let him go because he was worthless while the MTSU girl was a rockstar from day one.

Although I will say that every GT grad that I've ever interviewed was odd as hell.

You pay a little more for an NC... Not surprised that Arky doesn't know this.

A stupid list that leans way too heavily on small liberal arts colleges who offer degrees that won't get their graduates in the workplace as anything other than a barista.

Apparently grammar class is not included in the extra cost.

Custom Trophy cases are NOT cheap these days. Finding one for the CWS titles is not so hard but the ones for all the BCS Trophies must be hand made. Duh.

I found out why GT's ranking is lower than I expected:

which includes professor evaluations and freshman to sophomore year retention rates ( ), debt (17.5%), which penalizes schools for high student debt loads and default rates, four-year graduation rate (11.25%) (LOL)

Tech processing Caucasians

That would make more sense. Hell, my aunt got processed by Tech a long time ago

Speaking of exotic minorities at GT, watch this video and pay attention to the yellow shirt (partially obscured by vest)

Yea you'd think they'd stop that

Btw I've had some friends of the female orientation get into GT and some of them weren't really what I thought to be smart enough to be tech so I've always assumed and now I ask, does Tech let in a larger % of females and make it more difficult on guys these days kind of like how if your black UGA let's you in to combat our low diversity?

Yes, I would say in general, they are more lenient on a girl's admission qualifications than a guy's.

Being a white man has no institutionalized advantages in this state
