Damn! I find myself agreeing with the Dude! The 20 points they do allow is the largest single factor on their qualifying scale - It gives them a huge headstart. I am in no way saying that there should not be diversity. I agree whole heartedly with the President's view that the top 10% of every high school graduating class should have access to the state's colleges and universities - this would insure diversity because high school classes across a state represent the diversity of the state's population. Ability should be the factor that determines access and nothing else.
