Eh. I went to a community college that let basically everyone in, and failed out ~95% of their computer programming course. I graduated, and I likely would not have gotten in in the first place if they went with the exclusivity model of universities (my last year of high school was terrible, and that's all they really looked at). Most people who didn't make it in this program went to more general programs so they still got something out of it. I'm now working at a large tech company.

I'm glad both models exist because I would have been completely excluded if they did not.
