In 10 years, Georgia Tech's admission rate will reach 17% where UCLA is today.

I saw this coming. As recently as 6 years ago, when I first moved to Atlanta, Tech's admission was 51%. 1 out of 2 student who applied got it. Today, less than 1 out of 4 students are accepted today and Tech is starting to be on the radar of FCBS. Maintain a certain GPA in high school and your HOPE scholarship will pay your daughter or son's tuition if you are a Georgia resident. The #1 out of state students that come to Tech are from California.

Asian immigration increased several folds the last 2 decades. The top tier colleges have a quota on Asian acceptances. Asian students are applying to second tier colleges in the low double digit acceptance rates. These colleges are becoming the popular safety schools while the former safety schools such as Cal and UCLA are now dream schools.

The odds are better applying to good colleges not listed at the back of the Chinese Business phone book.
 
This is interesting. Georgia's Tech's Asian student enrolled doubled in the last 10 years and the Asian percentage is currently similar to that of UCLA around 33%. I believe UCLA had some type of affirmative action back in 1998 to limit the Asian student % enrollment not to exceed 35%. I would not be surprised one bit if Georgia Tech did something similar to what UCLA did back in 1998 in the next 5 years.

Tech's Admission went from 51% to 23% just within 6 years. I am betting that Tech will rank in the top 25 in the next 10 years.

Why does it seem like the bulk of the students are from ANHS?  These kids don't seem to be true Valedictorians, ie. graduating #1 in their class...

I was one of the valedictorians in my high school (over 5000 kids at our school so we had a few) but honestly kids should have time to be a kid. Not sure I'd be top of my class these days.

My opinion chapman is over priced.
Which cal poly are you talking about?

Anyone with a 4.0+ GPA is considered a "Valedictorian".

4.0? Even though you can get higher than that these days? Must have a LOT of valedictorians in that case!

San Clemente High had 153 valedictorians:http://www.ocregister.com/2017/06/01/san-clemente-high-graduation-2017/
 
OMG! NO WAY! LOL!

I think we probably had twice as many grads and maybe 5 Valedictorians. 4.0 was the absolute highest you could get "back in the day"...... AP classes didn't count for extra and if you didn't ace that AP class (rare to even have an AP class in those days)there went that 4.0.

PE didn't count (lucky for me).
