Go to community college like I did. I took a bunch of remedial classes that helped me prepare for university. I wasn't prepared for a real university education out of high school. But after 3 years of community college (2 major switches) I transferred to UCSD for CS and got by BS and am currently doing my masters.
I don't think lowering the standards is a good idea. I think we should fill the gap's in education left by high schools failing at their jobs.

Re:UC proposes its first enrollment cap on out-of-state students

In this situation I don't think it's possible to not political.
Aren't they being political by accepting out of state students who pay more money? Are they looking at applicants bank accounts or are they looking for applicants that would be successful and contribute to the diversity of the school?
UC makes the claim that they out-of-state funding creates more spots for in-state applicants, while the audit says otherwise.
Both are plausible explanations, but we need some actual numbers in order to determine whether having a bias toward accepting more out-of-state applicants really does increase in-state applicant admissions.
