[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Copying an interesting comment to the NYT article:
[quote]Elimination of SAT/ACT from University of California applications has led to a wave of unprepared and unqualified admissions— students who have no business being at a UC, and cannot do the work.

My spouse is a UC professor and she says that in 20 years she has never had so many students who are completely unqualified to attend college (and failing her class)— and this is a good UC. She teaches honors students no less.[/quote]
If this is true, I wonder if the UC administration will figure it out before the brand is damaged.[/quote]

They aren't going back. It would be good to know which UC school this is since there is a wide range of UCs. What this person said has always been true at the lesser known/newer UCs. This is why they have such a robust state system. To educated as many CA students as possible at every level. [/quote]

Commenter was from the “OC” so that probably means Irvine? Which apparently rejects nearly 80% of their applicants, so you’d think they wouldn’t have such a hard time finding capable students. [/quote]
