Mid-tier UC's don't get as much credit as they should?

omeg:

Cal has been great for years. Back in the dark ages, Santa Cruz was the only selective UC (yeah, go figure). Cal and UCLA accepted nearly every minimaly qualified applicant. The big differences today are: 1) demographics (lotsa more 18 year-olds); 2) a higher % of kids now go to college, as opposed to the work force; 3) kids are more willing to go OOS to college.

btw: HYPSM was much, much easier to get into as well.
