2. I'm a little conflicted about UC's policy.
Part of me wants to think that it should only be grades that count when it comes to admissions. Completely 100% merit based.

On the other hand, a student body filled with one group of people really does impact the overall learning environment at school. People from different backgrounds and experiences add value to discourse. Since a lot of the learning in college happens outside of the classroom in the interaction among students, having varying perspectives is really healthy.
