@marvin100 Well for the 18’s in the state, yeah, they can’t handle it. But I am talking about the state residents that are qualified. 28+ that get rejected because they pay less and lose the spot to a cheater.
State residents definitely deserve a much larger majority of the seats at their flagship, even over OOS. OOS students are used in the same way as nationals, to pay more. Noticeably easier at certain state unis to get accepted if you are OOS vs In state, simply because you pay more. Which is wrong, considering you already have payed the taxes and deserve the in-state tuition as a resident.
Yes, a lot has to do with the voters, but the purpose of the state uni was to educated members of the state with priority. Not for everyone to be forced to go to a uni states away to pay the extra tuition, because the twisted game states unis are playing.
But all that doesn’t even compare to an international who was basically allowed to cheat stealing your spot at a state uni, who will most likely waste it because they had to cheat.
