I’m of the opinion that now that many state universities are going to be remote instructions, there really shouldn’t be a reason to limit class enrollment especially for freshman year. Most of the freshman classes are general classes anyway, and could be used as a weeding out process so that those that can’t keep up flunk out and either drop out completely or transfer to an easier major. There’s absolutely no reason to restrict admissions to anyone with a gpa of 4.0 and stellar SAT score whose parents are able and willing to pay….especially since many of the state schools will have a big revenue shortfall for lack of on campus attendence.
Denying a kid with a 4.0gpa and good SAT score at even a not so top rank university is just bullshit.
