[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College is different today, so don't compare your experience 20 years ago.

The economy is different, and most kids don't have money to go to a private university.

Flagship state schools are far more selective now as a result. Even 2nd and 3rd tier state schools.

Lots of kids end up at MC or other CCs as a result...especially white kids whose friends with the exact same grades and scores make it into UMCP because of their diversity/adversity.

And this is why people care about this new policy. [/quote]

Yes, but the kids who go to CC’s (and not to UMCP) [b]will end up doing fine in life because of their privilege![/b]

Giving up those slots at UMCP to someone more worthy due to them having less/no privilege is simply the way your kids will do their part to level the playing field of society.[/quote]

but then sending losers to yale will be pointless! either this does changes something or it doesn't. you can't simultaneously claim that this is nothing but insist that is somehow necessary. if it does nothing then why is it needed?[/quote]
