[quote=Anonymous]State schools are more likely to employ "weed-out" courses for hard majors. These are intentionally brutal classes that cause ensure that marginal students don't make it to the core curriculum courses. Of course, You could argue that the most selective schools don't need these courses since the admissions process is already tough. State schools also tend to have fewer resources per student and more students per course. If a student is struggling, they are probably more likely to fail for this reason. And when they do fail, a state school is less likely to intervene or try to follow-up with struggling students. They just give you your grades and that's that.[/quote]
