<p>rmldad, not necessarily. UT, the University you cite is required to admit all those in the top 8% of their class. There is ALREADY great inequality in the quality of students in that top 8% from high school to high school. I don’t think there’s going to be a huge difference between #5000 and #12,000. I just don’t. And if every school admits more students every year, there will be more college grads, so more educated people in society - everyone wins.</p>
