[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suppose it is easier (perhaps more entertaining) to snipe about certain schools than to discuss the more substantive question of addressing the educational mandate of state flagship universities [b]in light of the shortage of slots for qualified and motivated instate applicants[/b].

Yes, but this is how it is now - fiercely competitive with not enough slots to go around. How will it look in 5 or 10 years? The population pool of college students will be much smaller. A student now might need >4.0 to get in. In the future, most likely there will be more slots than students. [b]UVA [/b]must have 2/3 in-state. With a lower total applicant pool, it's not realistic to assume everyone will have >4.0. The school [b]will have to be much more lenient towards in-state applicants and accept weaker scores in order to achieve their 2/3 requirement.[/b] [/quote]

This assertion that you keep making is unfounded, just dumb. Provide your math and citations please.

From Wikipedia: "For the undergraduate Class of 2027, the University of Virginia received a record 56,439 applications, admitting 16.2 percent.[156] The early action acceptance rate was 27 percent for in-state Virginians and 12 percent for out-of-state applicants.[157] The regular decision acceptance rate was 13 percent for in-state Virginians and 8 percent for out-of-state applicants.[156] [b]UVA is required, by Virginia state law, to matriculate two-thirds of its undergraduate student body from its pool of in-state applicants.[/b][158]"
