This is what affirmative action should be... helping people out based on their individual situation, not because their skin color or gender.

Also, just helping them out. Nobody gets hurt. This isn't creating an allotment of seats for foster kids. The selection process, and thus odds, are the same for them and everyone else.

Generally state colleges will take any applicant who meets the pre-set bar. Where as tier 1 universities are more a zero sum game.

University of California, Washington, and Texas are hardly uncompetitive. Their admission rates are very low for the good programs.

Those are universities and not colleges. Cãnada College, Foothills college, De Anza College are examples of “community colleges”.

Community colleges are rarely described as "state colleges." The latter refers to state-backed higher education institutions, from De Anza College to the University of Pennsylvania.

The delineation between colleges and universities varies regionally. Nowhere does it solely signify exclusivity. In America, there is an accreditation difference that largely pertains to graduate school.
