College for the average student

@artemis95

I disagree – where I live, only the top 10% of the local high school classes can reasonably expect to get admitted to the top three state schools, and even the next 2-3 state schools down require at least a 3.7 weighted GPA from our local schools. My sister is a B student and is unlikely to get in to any of the top 5 or 6 state schools

<p>What state?</p>

<p>If California, there are 32 state universities, so students who would not get into the top 5 or 6 (in admissions selectivity) ones should be able to get into some of the others.</p>
