Can't Complete High School? Go Right to College

It is a kind of Alice-in-Wonderland idea. If you do not finish high school, head straight for college.

And in an era of stubbornly elevated high school dropout rates, the chance to enter college through the back door is attracting growing interest among students without high school diplomas.

That growth is fueling a debate over whether the students should be in college at all and whether state financial aid should pay their way. In New York, the issue flared in a budget battle this spring.

They are students like April Pointer, 23, of New City, N.Y., a part-time telemarketer who majors in psychology at Rockland Community College, whose main campus is in Suffern, N.Y. Ms. Pointer failed science her senior year of high school and did not finish summer school. (1 image)

I wonder if these standards apply to Yale, Princeton and any of the assorted law school mills scattered about?
