[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my son was selecting schools it came down to two schools. One’s merit award required a 2.0 and one a 3.0. I explained to my son that things happen in life and whether it was because he got sick or distracted as one can easily do in college esp. being away from home for the first time that he should take into account the gpa requirement for merit because if he lost it I wouldn’t be able to afford the school. My son selected the “2.0” school and has done very well but it’s nice knowing he has some wiggle room as he grows into a young man. [/quote] Agree. I think the 3.2 are harsh. Most kids see them and think no problem, but they forget classes aren’t weighted in college. I will say many colleges curve severely though. Makes it a bit easier. And kids start to figure out what professors to get. [/quote]
