[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is true for everyone. Not just  "Black and Hispanic Science majors."

It's shocking how many people pay a fortune to go to higher ranked schools, when they can go to a perfectly good, but less "prestigious" school for a fraction of the cost.

For this reason, I have little sympathy for people who spend 50k per year on college and then cry about it.

Did you read the article? I don't think cost is the problem they are talking about here.[/quote]

NP.. yes, it's about the fact that many are not prepared for the academic rigors of a science major at the top two UC schools.[/quote]
No dog in this fight, but like most people I can see both sides. However the first article is flawed based on data from 1990s. The second article is more  credible. I think it is common sense that all students at a top school benefit, even the students not at the top. These days, the graduation rates at top schools is very high (one of the reasons they are top schools) of all students is high and comparable among all groups, including athletes, legacies, etc. [/quote]
