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& #39;ve been conditioned..

to believe low acceptance rates=good schools and the opposite means they& #39;re bad. Dr. @saragoldrickrab has a great thread on how public schools were designed to accept the majority of applicants, that& #39;s their purpose and we need to provide the funds so they can carry out their..

mission. That& #39;s often not the case. My family& #39;s EFC is 0 and even with receiving a Pell grant, my sister will graduate with an expected $36,000 in student debt.
