It caused schools to expand their applicant pool, so they could reject as many people as possible; it also encouraged them to seek more well-to-do candidates, whose academic records tend to be stronger.

Pa. bills would subsidize the costs of college
Philadelphia legislators have introduced bills in the state Senate and House of Representatives that would give low-income and middle-class students full tuition scholarships to community colleges and state-related universities. The set of bills, referred to as "PA Promise" would give scholarships to students whose family income is less than $110,000 a year and waive room and board costs for students whose family income is less than $48,000 a year.

Philadelphia has 2,172,896 parking spaces. So how come you're still circling the block?
There are few things Philadelphians like to complain about more than parking. There's not enough, some argue. There's too much, others contend. Finding a spot takes too long, or garages are too expensive. Some residents believe on-street permit prices should increase - even five or tenfold. Others say parking should be free.
