[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm amused by liberals who insist that everybody should be able to get a college education and in the same breath college Admissions at the elite schools has gotten super competitive and is broken

If you insist on making a bachelors college the new high school diploma, then yes, the desperate need to get to the "elite top 30" is going to get crazy because now that is the primary way students signal that they are smarter and different from the hordes attending college today.

That is going to result in a crazy admission process. Liberals,  pick your poison. You can either have a small percentage of the population getting BS degrees as in the past or you can have a sane and relatively stress free admissions system. You cannot have both.

Smart people know you can get an excellent education outside of "elite top 30".  They also know only 50-60K freshman are headed to those 30 schools each year so majority will NOT get in.  They will be fine.

Also, most liberals do not "want everyone to get a college degree".  Most want them to continue their "education" if college is right then do that, if HVAC/Electrical/automotive repair training is right then do that. [/quote]
