Upon what basis do universities decide whom to accept/reject? It isn't based solely on grades. There are other considerations. Like what?

I know volunteering in your community and being involved in other projects is important. High school kids take AP(Advanced Placement) classes and often have really high grade point averages. Used to be that a 4.0 was an A and you could not get higher than that. VERY Long ago. I think now kids can apply with 4.5 or more GPA and a very long list of other projects. Maybe we should use that to allow immigrants in? What can they bring to our country? What do they have to offer us? What extracurricular activities do they have to show for their time living in their home countries? I said it was complicated. Well it is.

    To get into our University, you only need two things...a heartbeat and a checkbook.

    There is that m'dear. There is always that. You can also have a building named after you providing you pay for its construction. The lives of the rich and famous. The rich are not like thee and me. You aren't rich are you E? Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday to thee. You don't have to answer that question if it's invasive or puts you on the spot!

    Rich? No...just comfortable.

    Comfortable is very good. Being rich is good too but well it's harder for me to relate to rich than "comfy". Jim and I are doing fine. So far so good. I wouldn't say we're "comfortable" exactly. If we had a quarter million stashed away we would be comfortable for sure. We have some stashed away...hopefully enough to last as long as we live. But if we live decades longer than normal well we might have to go back to work! Thank you for your reply E!  :) This post was edited by RosieG at March 11, 2019 7:32 AM MDT
