Penn doesn't open doors, you do. Because it costs how much it costs. We pay a lot for a little. Some others might agree, shrug their shoulders, accept what they cannot change and move on. And maybe one or two readers will do something about it.
Undergraduate education needs a revolution.
Not from educators but from the best and brightest students, who, one day, will finally see education not as a fight for admission but as a product that they choose to purchase. Someday someone will build a model for undergraduate education that fits all the needs, dreams and desires of its buyers. They will do it at a fraction of the cost we pay today. And they will have created the purest, most true, most applicable new paradigm. The advancement of advanced thought.
