I hate it when people compare the admission standards of private and public schools. Public schools, especially land-grant universities, are chartered to serve the residents of the state where they reside. The Morrill Act of 1862, enacted by Congress, established institutions "so that members of the working class could obtain a liberal, practical education." Private universities serve those who can afford to attend, which is great for those that choose that route. I'm not knocking private schools.
Happy 150th Birthday to the Morrill Act, and our public universities!
