No, it's very different. You took a test and passed out of it - you showed your knowledge. It wasn't based on a number whose usefulness is debated even within the medical community.

I mean, if you want to determine if people are physically fit, give them a freaking physical fitness test - don't just look at their BMI. And even then, as I said, it should be all or nothing. And even then, I'm sorry, but I just don't think this has anything to do with college.

Elementary school and high school are different than college. Period. They're paid for by the taxpayers and are teaching much younger children.

That's another thing. What about returning students? As I said, when you get older your metabolism goes. It's discriminatory to older students.
