I’m fine with university’s getting tougher. It really separates who really wants to get in college and who doesn’t. Anyone can score a good SAT but a well rounded student shows strong motivation to actually get into a great university.

This artical actually helps out a lot, and gives students a lot of ideas about college and whats going on. I think its important for students to know how colleges are working and how there not just excepting anybody, and for thiose who just coasted there way through high school should know that they should start doing something before college is out of there range for sure.

College admissions have gotten wayyyy harder then before. the raise GPA as well as SAT and ACT. each universitey is highered there standards and therefore get more competive for student to get in. Also some of the other students that acually qualify for these universities cammom go through bc of “budget cuts”

I was aware that to be accepted into an University starting for the graduating class of 2009 would get even tougher. First, Writing scores are going to be counted into the application process, but that’s not all year after year from now they’ll keep adding new “requirements.” This article is informative but also scary =/ . . I want to be accepted!!

This article almost scared he half to death because it was a real eye opener, it talks about how it is getting a lot tougher to get into college.It shows how competitive it is getting to go to a good school. Students have to start working harder than ever if they want to be accepted to the school that they desire to go to.

I think that good and bad at the same time. Its good because now people who is just going to college just to make their parents happy and not reallly for themsleve. but at the same time its bad because forthe people that really want to go but dont have eerything that they really need. or cant makethe cut for it

Florida Universities raised standards for addmission and say that the standards will go get higher from here. the bar has raised now since alot of kids have been working to the bone to get a better education. And with more children attending public schools now the precentage only get higher.

the article is about how colleges are raising their standards for kids to get in, to ensure they work harder in highschool and increase competition among students.
i think this is a good idead because if you want it bad enough you will work for it. the harder you work the better the achievement feels.

i think that in a way, cutting the amount of students that will be accepted to college is a good thing. Doing this will increase competition among students, and just like in business, competition leads to better results. This will also cut down on professionals who lack proper training
