Well, I wouldn't necessarily assume that 100% of anyone with a degree has mastered what the degree is for. So to me the takeaway is that ~90% have mastered the math. And so in terms of the original comment, not necessarily do we need them all to go to undergraduate.

UCSD freshmen aren't a random sample of high school graduates.

But I don't think college is the best place for remedial math classes.
