I think the UGA Upperclassmen quota is excellent.^^
I can tell you that things have changed dramatically in the state of Florida over time. It is getting tougher and tougher to get into the Universities as many more people live in Florida and want to continue their schooling here, admission standards have increased, stronger applicant pool, and so many out of staters/foreigners want to attend school in Florida as well. This creates a problem for many young women who want to go to a university (and partake in recruitment) and must take an alternate route to get into the university. These situations do not mean the women aren't great candidates to have been admitted in the first place. They have strong GPAs, activities, and are children of donating alums to the university, but for whatever reasoning they are passed over. I have seen this every single year and it is just awful.
Some attend a smaller, private school first and transfer in. Some attend community school for a semester, a year, or complete a two year degree and transfer in. Some attend community school their senior year and then go into a university later with higher class standing. These situations then change a recruitment situation for the women. It has becomes quite common and it would be nice to have an upperclassmen quota to allow great young women a chance to become involved in many of our wonderful organizations.
