Michelle A. Behnke: Admissions worries miss larger picture

Dear Editor: I note that the concerns expressed regarding the University of Wisconsin admission policy never recognize a central fact. More high school graduates are seeking college admission. Not just in Wisconsin but across the country. So the competition to get into the college of your choice is greater.

If students from the majority are not accepted at the UW campus of their choice, it has far more to do with the number of other applicants from the majority culture than it has to do with the UW considering additional factors in its admission policy.
