I couldn't get into my alma mater (UF) if I graduated now.

I was proud my daughter made it in, but she has been a straight A student since elementary school and scored well on all her tests. Even then it wasn't a sure thing.

Even the B school in our state (FSU) is harder to get into than my school was 30 years ago.
