The wonders of the US education system never cease to amaze me.
Are tests not standardized that class rank matters? When I first entered university here, grade average was all that mattered. Certain grades even guarantee university acceptance...
- jessaustin 11y agoI would suggest two things. First, you have seriously underestimated the variation among secondary educational institutions in USA, a mistake that no USA college admissions process would make. Second, even in the context of the fortunate realm in which you attend university, a "good grades guarantee acceptance" policy probably somewhat underestimates the variation among secondary educational institutions there.
- Mikeb85 11y agoProbably because the country I live in has much less variation in the quality of secondary education. The fact the US hasn't figured out how to offer a consistent level of K-12 education is, quite frankly, mind-boggling (along with the lack of health care, and many other things we take for granted in the rest of the 'western' world).
- jessaustin 11y agoIt's probably because USA is inferior to your nation in every way. b^) Don't believe everything you read.
