[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Texas does this. [b]Top x percent of every HS is guaranteed admissions to UT [/b]i believe. State schools can and should do that. Private universities can do what they want to build the class they want. Us doesnt have a national curriculum and few national tests (and those are optional) so its harder to compare across the population. Other countries are often smaller or have national subject tests which scores determine everything (hence cram schools in Korea and other places). Id much rather have a national curriculum and meaningful subject tests to see that our population is actually educated to some standard but that would never fly. [/quote] And what happens in reality is that the high schools cheapen the value of the GPAs to ensure there are many more than the "top X %" who gain admission. It is a true race to the bottom.[/quote]
