[quote=Anonymous]There is media available on colleges that accept students with low GPAs &lt; 3 :/ but very little info warning students with extremely low GPAs they are probably not prepared for 4 year programs and that the universities that will accept them have extremely high drop rates and the students still retain the debt.

Lots of advice on getting in but not on staying in or being prepared. There are even colleges that accept 1.0 GPAs.

**Lists for [b]BEST colleges with low GPAs[/b] are often in the 3s range (3.1-3.6)so not really in the range of the schools with extremely high drop out rates.

Newsweek did offer a list of colleges with biggest drop out rates a couple of years ago but no other data such as life long debt and long term income prospects. Also many of these colleges had higher graduation rates than the national average for black students indicating that there are probably race disparities playing into graduation rates within the colleges.

This info below on college drop out rates  is helpful and covers race issues but again there is no info on how at risk students can avoid dropping out and incurring life long students debts.

More than 39 million Americans (17% population) have some college experience with no degree.

American Indian/Alaska Native, Black, and Pacific Islander first-year students have higher dropout rates than their Hispanic, white, and Asian peers.[/quote]
