[GoodForAnother]

our biggest issue as a university, imo.  happy to hear that clink got in, but what other recruits are we missing out on?

outclassed by Academy of Art University -- embarrassing

Semantics.  Princeton Review ranked KSU the 17th most beautiful campus in America.  Not too shabby for for a bunch a hayseeds.

It is amazing that we can have such a high acceptance rate and still be named the college with the best value in the midwest last week.  Material doesn't matter, we make masterpieces all day er' day.

yep basically this. Not our fault we can take whomever we want and make them studs and studets in 4-5 years

guys we can talk about our numerous awards from national publications all day but what it all comes down to is 100% is better than 99%. fact.

I never understood why it's such a big deal to some, for a university to give a certain amount of people an opportunity or not.

i don't really think of k-state as a club that's hard to get into, just a club that only successful and friendly good smelling people choose to get into.

I feel really bad for the 1% that didn't make it. I mean at some point you just gotta give em a shot.

Every institution needs that 1% to be made an example of.

I just can't believe I ever stressed-out about getting into KSU.

They can go to juco for 2 years and then get in. It's their high school advisor's fault for not telling them that, really. I mean our guidelines are very clear. Why apply if you don't meet them?

I know.  Big Oil fucks us again.  When will it stop?  Never, I fear.  Go cats!

just drove through campus and there's a new sign out front of anderson...

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

We really are America's team, aren't we?  I think so.

This. It seems like universities should be rated on the quality of graduates they produce, rather than the number of applicants that are accepted.

Besides, how else are we going to grow our enrollment if we turn down 20% of applicants???

We'll take the bad with the good, but we'll produce nothing short of spectacular.
