[quote=Anonymous][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]"

You’re too dumb to understand the assignment. 
Let me explain it to you, like you are five. 
You assert that: [b]UVA [/b]….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.” I’m asking, how have you determined this? Provide your math on how you’ve calculated this otherwise lazy, finger in the wind claim. 
Please show your work.
Don’t come back until you do it correctly.
