[quote=Anonymous]It is a different world. Far more difficult to get into college or university than it was in late 70s/early 80s. Back then the highest you could go was a 4.0 and no AP classes and there was one valedictorian. Now you can have a GPA up to 6.0; carry 15 AP classes and public high schools have 60 valedictorians (don't ask me why - I have no idea - I can only assume its everyone over a 4.0 GPA). And your kids are competing against a huge international market wanting to send their kids to American schools and very happy to pay full freight. And the colleges, in turn, want to boast diversity diversity! It's a much different world.[/quote]
