Hmm, symbols message up.. that shoudl be a generic "U of State"

Unfortunately places like Med School and Law School (just to name 2) use GPA as a very-heavily-weighted factor for admissions.

In reality any group of people is going to have above average, average, and below average. Just so happens that theoretically, the below average Harvard student is still way above the national average.

A self-contained system like a college, imo, should still have a general bell curve and be giving out mostly C's. Of course the material would need to be adjusted so that only a few very top students can really master it all, while most will be average, and some below average..

But since after graduation your GPA matters for a place like Med School, where they don't really care very much if it was from U of or Harvard, they have to keep it comparable, even though a 2.0 at Harvard may be equivalent to a 3.8 at U of ..

Truth! I'm currently playing through a bunch of the old Sierra games from way back (Kings Quest series, Quest for Glory/Hero's Quest/etc).

I lived in Scotch Plains and wholeheartedly agree with you!

The student, in most cases, can only borrow $27500 over the course of the 4 years - anything above that was co-signed by parents. If more parents were able to say "no" to their kids, the problem would be greatly reduced.

they used the correct phrase, "champing at the bit".

A few of the Ivy's (not sure about all, but it may be) do not give loans at all. At Princeton if you make 65k/year or less, you will be 100% covered for tuition, fees, room and board. Heck, a family of 4 making 100k would only pay 5k for Princeton.
