| I'm kind of confused by exactly what they're trying to achieve.
It seems that they want less kids coming in because of the overcrowding problem. At the same time they want these kids to be more qualified (thus the decrease from 12.5% to 10% of kids being guaranteed a spot). Am I wrong? Yet to do this they are removing requirements such as SAT II, which probably are better indicators of ability to do well at campuses like Berkeley. Wouldn't it make more sense to just increase the numbers required to be guaranteed admission.
In response to the idea that counselors don't know requirements - Really? I mean really? You'd have to be a pretty terrible counselor to not know the requirements that are posted on the main/every page of the uga website.
Now for those who want holisitic admissions, I want them too, but to a certain degree SAT II scores are important. They shouldn't be setting up kids for failure at Cal by promoting ideas such as scores aren't important and then forcing them to compete against other kids with strict curves. |
