[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How low are we talking? Is it possible to flunk summer placement testing? I don't believe the Ivy League or elites like Chicago MIT WashU even have remedial courses like a public university. Elites generally have a 90-95% graduation rate. Many kids do flunk out. [/quote] [b]No, very few kids flunk out. They have a 95% 4 yr graduation rate. [/b]Another 2-3% graduate in the next 2 years, getting us to 97%. Of the remaining 3% some have changes in their finances, some are just unhappy, some get sick or injured. Only around 1% flunk out. Most kids that have trouble just change to less challenging majors, say from chemistry to business, or something that ends in "studies". [/quote] Wrong! No college has a 95% 4-year graduation rate. Ivies, MIT and UChi have 84-89% 4-year grad rates. They have 93-97% 6-year grad rates. Dozens of kids every year flunk out, transfer out because it's too hard, etc.[/quote]
