[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty sure it's the same for all public universities UNC, U MI, Cali schools, UVA, etc). It's the privates that want you to have a 4 or 5 and limit the amount of credits you can come in with. They want every penny from you[/quote] No, it's partly the money, and that's done via limiting the number of credits. The requiring 4 or 5 is to ensure course rigor and that the student actually learned enough material to take the next course in the sequence. Yes, Chem 102 is more challenging at a rigorous private school than at my State U that admits anyone who gets a 3.5UW gpa and gives credit for 3, 4, or 5. There are also some schools that only give credit for 5s. [/quote]
