For me the percentage isn’t important at all. The way the math classes are offered are inconsistent with all the other classes I know of at Duke. If you are leaving Pratt because of the math courses you may very well still like engineering. You just maybe don’t want to take the GPA hit if say you are looking at med school. I don’t know of anyone who thinks the way the math classes are presented is appropriate. Then again as you say it has been this way for ever. So the powers to be, for whatever reason, are allowing it to continue. Whether it is weeding out or unintended consequences to me is a difference without a distinction. If it is 1% or 49% it is a situation that should have long been corrected if not intended. If intended it is weeding out.
