[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Automatic admission to anyone with a Nova associates degree. Sounds real selective to me. [/quote]

Not the OP, but you do know UVA offers the same, right?  Both have minimum GPAs you have to reach, but it's the same automatic admission program.[/quote]

This is correct.  But it is not automatic.  You must take certain courses at NoVA and reach a certain overall GPA plus get a certain grade in specified courses.  It's a very good deal for a student set on UVA who can maintain the requisite grades.[/quote]

The NOVA agreement with George Mason has a required GPA which must be met; it is not automatic.  Please see: https://www.nvcc.edu/depts/academic/transfer/GAA/GeorgeMasonUniversity-PU-GAA-2013-12.pdf[/quote]

lol "The minimum cumulative NOVA GPA required currently is 2.85 upon graduation effective spring 2014." So it's even LOWER than the 3.0 that it used to be!

To the PP who called VCU "renowned"... where are you from? Nobody calls VCU "renowned." [/quote]

Mason requires only a 2.85.  [b]C-level grades transfer for full credit, [/b]which is unheard of elsewhere.  Mason recalculates the GPA to count only the higher grade received in a repeated (such as, flunked) course.  Complete joke.

Incorrect.  Requires a 2.85 minimum, which is basically straight Bs, with allowance for a B- or two.  Plus this is on a 4.0 scale, not the exaggerated 5.0 and even 6.0 of high schools today. You can's compare high school grades to college grades.

Present a 2.85 or higher cumulative grade point average (CGPA) upon application to 
Mason and upon VCCS graduation. Mason utilizes the CGPA as indicated on the 
official VCCS transcript. Applicants are required to submit two official VCCS 
transcripts. The first transcript must be received in the Office of Admissions no later than 
March 10 for fall admission or October 10 for spring admission. The final transcript 
reflecting the degree conferral date must be received by the Office of Admissions no later 
than the last day of the first semester of enrollment. 
 
5. Earn a minimum of 30 transferable credits (see #3 below) from a VCCS college with 
grades of A, B or C in every course. These courses must be applicable to the A.A., A.S. 
or A.A.& S. degree program. If a course is repeated, the higher g[/quote]

Wrong.  The NVCC-Mason transfer agreement explicitly provides for C grades transferring with full credit, even in a major, and even for core requirements.
