UC guarantees admission to the top 9 percent of California high school students.
Your logic seems to suggest that, instead, they should automatically deny entry to the top 9%, because they 'will be just fine'.
When a college basketball coach is selecting players from among the undergraduate population, should he reject the best few players, on the basis they will be fine anyway? If not, what makes basketball and computer science different?
- drawkward 2y agoThe job of a basketball team is to win. A university's mandate is quite different.

- drawkward 2y agoHmm...thats arguable. But assuming thats the hook you want to hang your hat on, the guy in this post clearly had plenty of talent to beign with, and also many opportunities to develop it. Does he deserve all the opportunities? What entitles him? What entitles anyone to a scarce resource?
