Dan Grass on "Most Freshmen at the Top Universities are Graduates of Public Schools"

This article is very interesting. I don't know if I particularly agree with it. I am one to believe that you can make data say anything you want. For instance. It says that the number of students attending top tier colleges are coming primarily from public universities. I would be interested to find out what is the percent of students applying from public schools. If more students are applying from public schools than in the past, that would skew the data. There are areas of interest such as that, that would help me form a better understanding of the situation. Additionally, what are the requirements and how have they changed for admittance to these colleges? Again this is another issue that would need to be discussed to better understand what exactly is happening within the data. I think that when you look at what public education is demanding of itself though, you'll see that it is becoming more and more aggressive to compete with the private school sector. The last aspect of this article I would want to think about is what is happening to scholarships at these institutions. Are these programs receiving scholarship funding for equal parts public and private school? Very interesting.
