I am personally connected to this because my brother is in college. In particular UF, they have a lottery based system on admissions. First of all a lottery system is when a college randomly selects who they let in, not caring about the credentials of the other people applying. I think this system is unfair and a lot of people loose out on a college that they have worked for. My brothers experience is actually astounding he had a 4.7 GPA, and a 2000 on the SAT, to me this is a dream, this is what colleges should be looking for. So anyway, my brother had friends who were way less qualified, like having a 3.5 GPA and only a 1300 on the SAT and they got in over him. That's ridiculous. I understand why some colleges do this, but I think the cons out weigh the pros in this situation. So in all, if colleges didn't do this, the more deserving kids that actually put in the work wouldn't be turned away from opportunities that they deserve.
