<p>I feel like Woody Allen at the beginning of Manhattan trying to figure out the best way to get his message across.</p>

<p>The idea of financial aid, to give the money to the most needy students is objective.
The way it is carried out is subjective.</p>

<p>"How can a formula based on a set of rules that applies equally to everyone be considered "subjective"?</p>

<p>What the rules are is subjective. The fact that it applied to everyone does not make it objective.</p>

<p>If I go into a room of 100 people and say I am going to choose the most beautiful woman, that is objective.
When I choose the woman, that is subjective.</p>
