[quote=Anonymous]You are all overlooking the legacy problem. Most colleges and universities slot 30% of openings to legacies. So your incoming class for a state school is legacies; maximum allowed out-of-state kids (paying full freight); diversity candidates; overseas candidates; financially disadvantaged candidates; geographical selections to equal out distribution from the entire state; and, then, finally, the top scores (GPA) with 15 AP courses and top SAT or ACT scores, which means your normal, good, white, very hard-working kid with a 3.8 and great but not perfect test scores doesn't have a chance to get into their own state university system that mom and dad have been supporting for 20 years via property taxes.[/quote]
