That is missing that...Over forty percent of the students who apply to Rutgers are not accepted. And, those who are have to figure out a way to pay for it. Maybe a nonissue to the snobs, but for us regular folks $28,000 instate (or $37,000 out of state) is nothing to sneeze at. Saying it doesn't matter a bit what your kids do in high school is not a luxury afforded to middle class families who are worried about paying for college. Good GPA and test scores do matter in access to merit scholarships. So, no many of us don't have the option of just ignoring the realities of college admissions and financing.
