What depressed me the most is that they should have updated their admissions information to reflect the changes that they have made to their admissions requirements. This way, anyone who has below a 3.7 GPA will know where they stand. I feel very sorry for any applicant who actually has a 3.0 GPA believing that they might have a chance for admission to any of those non-tradition Ivy League programs. I won't go any further than to say that HES open enrollment policy is the REAL provisional status for anyone who desires to engage in a rigorous college education. I only wish that Columbia GS and Penn CGS would have given me this option to test myself to see if I could handle the academic challenges expected of me within their BA programs. That is all I ever wanted. And the Harvard Extension School offers this option to potential degree candidates with no restriction to apply first before they enroll.
