[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish we were more like Europe - national exam based admissions and GPA.  All this pressure for kids to change the world or be an impossible best for college admission.   [/quote]

Really?  I have news for you - that is EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS at 98% of the colleges in the US today.

Admission based on grades and scores.

You got what you wanted already and don't know it.[/quote]
Even then, I don't envy European admissions systems. They're awful if you ever talked with international students. [b]I just miss pre-TO predictability. There used to be more association between GPA, SAT, ECs, and result. Now, everything is off balance.[/b][/quote]

I think at 98% of US colleges that is demonstrably false.[/quote]
Sure but the 2% is what matters. No one thinks about Britain's education or France's education based off Gloucestershire or Paris 6. Instead, we discuss Oxford and the Grande Ecoles, which both have placement and testing standards and are rigorous to get into.[/quote]
