The State of Education

The Bridge Program in Math and Science at __________ is a three-week residential experience for 20 rising high school seniors. Selection of students is based on their academic performance and potential to contribute to and enrich campus diversity. This year the program runs from June 19 through July 9.

My alma mater, a liberal arts college of longstanding has established a bridge program. I am very familiar with such programs in the community college system where they have to accept everybody. But when a school that prides itself on its selectivity has to do so, something is not right.
