[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Florida gives credits for AP scores of 3.  That’s extremely uncommon.[/quote]

So does UC. There are distinguishing features between UC and Florida but this isn’t one of them.

Well, neither cares about the quality of the education their students get then.  That’s the problem with huge schools.  Again, the mission is to educate as many kids as possible as cheaply as possible.  Quality isn’t the most important metric.[/quote]

A simple glance at the CDS of UF and UC shows that your comment is stupid. Quality is their most important metric. Their admission standards are high (especially for the top UCs).

Both California and Florida have public universities whose "mission is to educate as many kids as possible as cheaply as possible." But this is not UF or UC. In California, this is the Cal State system. Similarly, Florida has a large number of schools below UF in the state university system (Florida State, University of Central Florida, Florida International University, University of South Florida, etc). And both states have large community college systems that educate as many as possible as cheaply as possible.[/quote]

If this is not the goal, there would be no need for online classes and bringing freshman in with enough credits to be a junior.  I would agree that Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD and UCSB are several tiers above Florida in quality of education, though.  Same for Michigan, UNC, UVA and Maryland.[/quote]
