No, but they know how to spell "compete".
Yeah, but they do that weird pause and arm roll thing in the middle.

Try thisI haven’t seen my favorite Picture of Clempson. Somewhere there is a picture of a guy on the back of a plow being pulled by some horses in the middle of a farm and the caption says “Ski Clemson “. I can’t find it on the Internet either. But I have seen it before.
That was the thing to do after your Little League game was over, while you were watching the rest of the games.RC Cola was started in Columbus, Ga
i take it you didn't put roasted peanuts in your RC bottle during childhood?
RC Cola History

There’s a legacy admission plan that offers legacy applicants a guaranteed spot if they do a couple semesters at another school and can maintain GPA/hours.So my dad (BS Materials Science '69), one of my brothers (BSCE '98, MSCE '00) and me (MSCE '93) all went to Tech. My very younger brother applied for the class of '07 and was not admitted despite a 3.8GPA but a mediocre SAT. Triple legacy but no dice. Needless to say the family was pissed.
And Georgia Tech is crazy hard to get into it. I asked the HS counselor a couple of years ago when my youngest started ninth grade “What do his mom and I need to do to make sure he gets into Georgia Tech?” She did not bat an eye and said “ Make sure he’s the valedictorian and start practicing SAT/ACT now.” I was 22 away from being my high school class valedictorian in 1986.
Yeah, in the mid-2010's at my massive Cobb County High school (not Walton, but not one of the bad ones either), a literal handful of the ~600 kid graduating class got into GT. Getting into GT now is more akin to getting into a high-end private school than anything else, it's something you have to be actively working towards, it's not like getting into Virginia Tech or something.
