College Classes

When we attended the Parent Orientation at UCD several years, the speaker warned the parents to expect your student to call home upset they received their first C grade or even worse D or F, all part of going to college where your peers are equally competitive academically.

A college like CPSLO, UCSB, and UCD takes students with 3.6-4.0 high school GPAs and redistributes them across the range of 2.0-4.0 college GPAs. Also, biology major courses tend to have a high level of grade competition from pre-meds for whom the only acceptable grades are A grades.
