College conclusion

by gmatblood » Sat Nov 05, 2011 8:39 am
For-profit colleges serve far fewer students than either public or private non-profit colleges. At the same time, relative to non-profit colleges, for-profit colleges draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid, such as tuition grants and guaranteed loans, for their students. It must be, then, that for-profit colleges enroll a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged students than do non-profit colleges.

The conclusion above depends on which of the following assumptions?

Public non-profit colleges and private non-profit colleges enroll a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged students.

For-profit colleges do not engage in fraudulent practices in helping their students obtain unneeded federal and state financial aid.

The number of students receiving federal and state financial aid at for-profit colleges is greater than the number of students receiving federal and state financial aid at non-profit colleges.

For-profit colleges are of similar educational quality as non-profit colleges.

The majority of students at for-profit colleges do not default on repayment of their loans after they complete college.

It should be B.

The conclusion is "It must be that for-profit colleges enroll a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged students than do non-profit colleges". This conclusion is valid if for-profit college do not engage in any fraudulent practices to get financial aid. If they get the aid by any wrong-doings then the conclusion that they enrol greater proportion of financially disadvantaged students is wrong.

A is irrelevant to the conclusion. Nothing about for-profit colleges.

C talks about number whereas conclusion is about proportion.

D quality is irrelevant

E repayment is not relevant to conlcusion.

This leaves B.
