[quote=Anonymous]The UC system is supposed to take anyone with above a 3.0. Prior to the creation of Merced, it was failing at that. Merced was set up to help those qualified students without tippy top statistics, particularly from the Central Valley — and it has done an exceptional job of educating those students. So, yeah. If your goal is to get into UCLA or Berkeley straight out of high school, it is hard to do so but that’s not that different from many other in state flagships. And, California’s higher ex system includes and is bolstered by the Cal States and their excellent community college system, which helps fill the gaps for students who don’t want to or can’t attend a research school. There’s still stigma around community college but they are far more affordable and Gen Z is particularly mindful of that. If I were a high school student there are worse places to live than California.[/quote]
