Applicants must have an unweighted overall grade point average of 2.0 (A=4.0) in each subject area and may not have more than two deficiencies. Students may not have deficiencies in both math and laboratory science or in the same subject area.
Does deficiencies mean grades of D's or F's? or subject requirements?
As far as I know defiency is just the same everywhere in the US.
Deficiency means below the minimum passing requirement of C. So even C- is considered as deficient.
Your overall GPA cant be below 2.0 twice, otherwise it'll be considered as deficient and you'll pretty much be kicked out of school.
And by twice I mean per semester.
I think here it means that you have to have all the prerequisite classes, like enough years of math in high school. Our son had only 3 years, but had finished Pre-Calc, so I think it didn't count as a "deficiency".
