[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you think it was going to be any different? That is every college everywhere.[/quote] nah.. big public univ don't hand hold, and if you fail, you fail. I know someone who experienced something similar at another Ivy+ -- they don't like to fail out students no matter what. [/quote] My kid is at good, but not top, big public university. She took AP bio in HS and got a 5 on the exam. She decided to retake it in college to get a really good foundation since she’s majoring in biology. She took honors biology and [b]barely[/b] scraped a C. Huge wake-up call for her. She was a 1500 SAT/4.5 GPA kid from HS without really trying and has found it takes a lot of work to maintain a solid GPA (~3.6).[/quote]
