That's not how it works in other countries with free college. You have to pass admissions which are very competetive and obviously not everyone gets in.

- biophysboy 6y agoIt would be cool if we could do something like this - I think it would get a lot of political and financial pushback.
- heavyset_go 6y agoThis is already the case. NY went tuition free for state schools for middle class income brackets, and admissions is still the same as it was in the past. I'm unsure where you got the idea that subsidized higher education meant that students didn't have to meet academic targets for admission.
- biophysboy 6y agoIs there not pushback on the means by which they determine who gets in? SAT, grades, the income bracket window, etc? If one barrier is removed (tuition), it seems reasonable to get the idea that who gets in will receive even more focus.
