<p>Well it was partially in my defense to the insults and ignorance from so called intelligent Berkeley students or did you just get a C in reading comprehension? </p>
<p>Ok how about this for a solution. Turn UCB into a private institution, charge 40 grand a year to anyone who wants to attend whether in state/out of state or internationally and allow equal opportunity to anyone potential student across the world to compete to get in. None of this adjusting racial profiling percentages in relation to the population, or giving preference to natives whether frosh or transfers, and just eliminate it. </p>
<p>That would be the only way to actually be fair to those that pay good money to attend UCB for educational reasons. What I have witnessed is that many of BOTH frosh and transfers from California were slowing down the classes in comparison to those not from California due to preference. To me that is pretty selfish and unfair to those paying premium price but is the way the system is set up. If the snobs and shallow ones just want to take up space because feel they deserve to go to UCB then weed out the ungrateful spoiled self entitled brats by allowing free competition for a seat. </p>
<p>Sounds fair to me. Everyone pays 40 grand and has an equal shot. No pussyfooting either. You either know what you want to do at UCB and know something about the professors, subject material, and program beyond US world news rankings or refused entry period…NEXT!</p>
<p>None of this sneaky switching major nonsense either just so some not so clever Californian thinks he/she can pull a fast one…BOOTED! It causes problems as it is and is annoying to students and the administration which is why they are stricter on that stuff now.</p>
