[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I imagine it means it's capped for students.  why not cap it for colleges ie can only fill x% of whatever.

But I get it -- you guys all LOVE how the system works now, how it really serves students and families, how America is fostering an educating populace at all levels and how even a suggestion that could be improved, really pissed you off.  because that's now what your kid and his bestie experienced.  we get it.[/quote]

I don’t love or think it can’t be improved. But I’m a realist and also tend to be pragmatic and most of the posted suggestions, including the OP’s are unrealistic.[/quote]

This is like telling car dealers they have to negotiate and can't sell their cars for more than MSRP.  The market dictates what happens in both instances.  You as the consumer have the choice whether to participate or go elsewhere (and for college that means one of the 2000+ universities that are affordable and don't fill their class with such a high percentage of ED students. But it's not reasonable to expect universities to give that up.  Ultimately they are a business and it's a good way for them to ensure they have enough freshman come fall.  [/quote]
