and Gawd knows there are better Tech Universities (sorry, GA Tech, but true)...

After three dismal seasons without any decent players wanting to even look towards Atlanta, let's see how happy they are with that statement.

#1 for many many years, followed by Stanford, California Inst. of Tech, University of CA-Berkeley, Harvard, and yes, GA Tech... and sorry, GA Tech is overrated on a number of those metrics albeit # 5 is quite good.

Of course, that likewise doesn't mean they don't graduate some exceptional students (apparently only white male ones--per GA Tech's own assessment now, though... )

I graduated in ‘82 when I was part of the only around 10% female student population. Just checked in 2024 it had improved to 44%. Now will likely go backwards. No doubt the school is afraid of losing research dollars and likely some racism/misogyny to top it off.
