[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really mystified by all of the people arguing that an in-state kid who scored 670 math on the SAT isn’t fit for the 3rd or 4th best school in the state. [/quote] That kid is. It's the one with a comparative 990 SAT score who's getting into UC San Diego, or lower.[/quote] But the overwhelming majority of kids at UCSD are like the 670 math kid, ready to start Calc I or beyond when they arrive. It’s all in the report! The number of kids who need remedial math is too high, but as the report explains the danger is that the remedial kids will fail. And despite what people in this thread claim, those students do fail at shocking rates, as detailed in the report, because the vast majority of students in quantitative majors at UCSD arrive well-prepared, and once the remedial kids reach Calc I, they’re in the same courses, taking the same exams, and subject to the same curve as everyone else.
