<p>Well let me just address the class thing. i never said it would be ok for them to pick classes first. And that statement about going ahead of the lunch line is not necessary, becaue you make sound as if they just walk through the dorr get all their things paid for, for no reason and then get a degree with nothing contributed on their part. Financial Aid is given to thoes who need it, period. Many people are going to college and are just scrapping by, but many who are given financial would not be able to go to college without it and are scrapping by with it (again i got zero FA). You make it sound as if UF is allowing a majority of below avergae students into their school. If you want it to just be a "merit" system then basically only people with 1400s, 1500s, and 1600s, would be allowed into college. and for the most part people that get into UF in my opinion are qualified. I havent heard of any 2.0 or even 2.5 acceptees. also test scores are not all that counts whether you want to admit that or not. Why is UF getting so much better every year.... i don't think its just because its from all the students with 4.0s and 1600s. college is not just a plave for people who have the highest grades it for those who are deserving more than just by an academic standard, though that is number 1 on the list, (don't care if you think I believe it or not), but more is taken into account and that is why UF is always getting better because students contribute academically but also to the capus as a whole. It's not your decision who is desrving of who gets to go college and get an education. Don't make it sound like people with good grades and SATs have nowhere to go. Don't know too many people with 1300s+ and high GPAs stuck going to the local community college because nowhere would accpet them. As people going through the college process are minds are very narrowed on who should be accpeted because we all think they should be at such and such a level or screw em, period. Obviously UF is doing something right because their constantly moving up.</p>
<p>P.S. not angry or anything just responding and having a healthy argument</p>
