Buzz off...

if you're a well qualified in-state student wanting admission to the University of Washington:  Why straight-A's may not get you into UW this year.  Key bit:
"In the face of continuing state budget cuts, academic leaders at the University of Washington in February made a painful decision to cut the number of Washington students the school will admit this fall and increase the number of out-of-state and international students, who pay nearly three times as much in tuition and fees."
Hey, UW has to support the nearly $700k salary of its president somehow.

As I've written before, I believe higher education is the next bubble to pop.  Accelerating inflation of tuition, increasing debt burdens on students, coupled with little prospect of well-paying jobs at graduation.  It's not sustainable.
