When I went to Ohio State for electrical engineering, they told us in orientation to look to your left and your right, and that only one of you three would make it through the program. They weren’t kidding. Talked to a recent gard - it’s still that way (although they do allow a bit more remdial math up front that does NOT count toward your major).

Old joke there: lim EE (GPA ->0) = business

Except now the business school rocks.

So there are still some REAL colleges...

Um, grad...

I lived that also--except for my engineering school, only one in four made it to graduation.

I made it, and then I found that my real education occurred after college.

Wonder if it was truly ethical to hocus them that way (and anyhow, that could have been three champs abreast). There’s the old saw about the bumblebee that never knew it shouldn’t fly, and so it did.
