My little sister has decided to attend Cal State Sonoma, a fantastic regional college in NorCal.

Someone within our orbit made a hurtfull comment that Sonoma "accepts everyone" (89%). And it really had me thinking how little folks know about higher ed. We've been conditioned..

to believe low acceptance rates=good schools and the opposite means they're bad. Dr. @saragoldrickrab has a great thread on how public schools were designed to accept the majority of applicants, that's their purpose and we need to provide the funds so they can carry out their..

mission. That's often not the case. My family's EFC is 0 and even with receiving a Pell grant, my sister will graduate with an expected $36,000 in student debt.
