Does anybody keep statistics of how many people enter a class that finish and graduate? More importantly, what are the reasons for the drops?
My wife talked to an upperclassman's father today who apparently painted a grim picture. 75% failure rate for statistics. 197 graduated out of 300 for the 2009 graduation.
In any regards, her concerns just went up a notch. These kids all have to be at the top of their classes to get in, and we know it is going to be tough. But 75% failure rate in physics from a bunch of bright kids just does not add up. And when the academic setbacks go away, seems like there will be plenty of empty rooms in the barracks.
This just wasn't the news we were hoping to hear 2 weeks before INDOC. I hope somebody can paint a more realistic picture. Maybe we heard some overly dramatic statistical representations. Hope so.
