[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Cal a while back. Even before the test blind era, they admitted a heap of very unprepared kids, either as transfers from community colleges or as freshmen from sub-standard high schools. For these kids, Cal could be cut-throat and you had to work hard to make up for your inadequate background, as it didn’t dump down the weeder classes! But if you’re prepared, college at Cal or HYP (where I also had experience) should be fairly easy.[/quote] I was chatting with a professor who moved from HYP to Cal then. He thought some of the kids at Cal were so behind that they shouldn’t have been admitted in the first place. Surprisingly, he thought the average student at Cal was a bit better than the average at the HYP where he used to be a faculty, due to those admitted purely with $$$ at that HYP. Go figure![/quote]
