I had no idea that Georgia Tech had grown to be larger than UGA

I guess I have been living under a rock. I graduated from Georgia Tech in 1989 when enrollment was about 13,000. I have always thought of GT as a small engineering school. I admit I've only stepped foot on campus about 5 or 6 times since I graduated, so haven't been there to notice the enrollment growing. I just saw a list of ACC schools in order of largest enrollment and was surprised to see GT listed as the largest school in the ACC with 47,000 students. The acceptance rate for out of state students is 12%, so they haven't decreased the standards for admission. That is also just the main campus. With those types of resources, I definitely need to expect more from our athletic department. We have no excuse for being so uncompetitive against Georgia athletically and while I'm making my dear Facebook post, why haven't we renovated our football stadium?

Because Bobby Dodd fricked you for eternity by leaving the SEC. You are a non-SEC school in an SEC market. Ask Tulane how that works.

Hyundai sponsorship can’t afford a stadium renovation for a non-football school

It's getting a lot easier to get into GT now. That's all it is.

Wiki says almost 48,000 students. That seems way off though.

The reason you had no idea is because you have no brain.

Georgia Tech's latest enrollment figures are just over 19,000, not 47,000 as Yekkies love to lie so much all the time.

Oh, you continue to live under a rock.

That is just undergrad students. With graduate students the number is 47,000.

Offering online masters is like printing $ for schools with academic rep.

It is Georgia after all. They prefer mail in ballots too.

We need Georgia Tech in the SEC in the worst way.

Western Governors or Southern New Hampshire probably have the highest enrollments counting online students. I doubt their degrees carry much weight.

Why they suck at football and haven't been good in basketball since Derrick Favors. We have a Missouri already

Full retard.

47,000… you realize most are grad students that never set foot on campus and take 100% online. They don’t give a shite about football from a masters degree through a computer. And they already have an undergrad degree from a university where they did spend time on campus that already has their loyalty…

The rest are largely foreigners that have more passion for cricket.

The remaining small minority of US citizens on campus lived their high school lives stuffed in trashcans and have PTSD from all things football…

Q.E.D. Full retard.
