<p>Good article on grad rates at UNC system in Raleigh paper. Basic premise is to raise grad rates they will increase high school gpa min to help ensure students have proven they can do the work expected.</p>
<p>Another issue at UNC is that b/c of large size, not all students can get classes they need to graduate in four years. Especially, if they change majors.</p>
<p>I think this is another plus for going to LAC-type school. Also even if large state U is cheaper on cost, if you have to pay for 5/6 years vs 4 at smaller , more expensive LAC you could come out ahead in the end.</p>
