UC talks of wider entrance policy: NON-ACADEMIC SUCCESS WEIGHED

<p>Call me cynical, but I find it hard to believe that with current economic conditions in California, the UC's are going to be expanded to accomodate a large number of students whose stats suggest they could be better served at Cal State Universities, from which they could transfer to UC's should their stats improve to the current level required for UC admission. Instead, I imagine that the current admissions criteria will be changed in the way this proposal spells out, so that fewer top students will be accepted in favor of students who previously did not meet admissions criteria but can now make up for it with their initiative and other non-quantifiable qualities.</p>
