The academics piece to all this is bs. I like the fact that WVU gives more people a chance to get a higher education. More Universities should do this more often. There have been many people who got a chance, straightened up got a degree and did well for themselves. Yes, a lot do fail out, but everyone who PAYS THEIR OWN MONEY should have a chance at higher education.
From WVU's admissions website:
"West Virginia residents must have at least a 2.0 grade-point average and either a composite ACT score of 19 or a combined Math and Critical Reading SAT score of 910."

All of us.
WVU fans, we are not saying your degree is worthless or anything. I understand your argument, but allowing everyone in who meets a low requirement like a 2.0 or a 910 SAT score will affect your University's reputation. A&M and Texas admission are extremely, extremely competitive. Texas A&M is considered a "research" institution, which is very different from a "teaching" University. Students at A&M get the opportunity to participate in research projects that usually graduate students do because of their academic ability and the competitive admission they had to go through to get in. Not only that, but TAMU and other "research" institutions teach you how to research and problem solve from day one. Heck, one of my good friends was published as an undergraduate during his junior year, graduated with a degree in Biomedical Science (an extremely difficult degree at A&M, and he came from New York to be a part of it as a first generation Aggie) and is about to graduate from Johns Hopkins after working in a medical research department at Georgetown for two years without a graduate degree.
Point is, competitive admission has a purpose.
