<p>i think there needs to be more requirements than a gpa. there’s no rigor in the classload needed to transfer; so many excellent students out of high school are denied while these people are allowed to go to uva with honestly minimal effort. there are comm college students who DO deserve to transfer; however, these are students who were already bright and maybe messed up a bit in high school. these are the best and brightest of comm college and will most likely take difficult classes and maintain a 3.67 at least gpa. i think 3.67 is fair; getting all A-'s at least in comm college is a good testament to one’s focus and ability and i think that merits a transfer.</p>
<p>here in florida, we have a program here like that i believe where if you get a 3.4 or so gpa you can transfer to uf. and honestly, i have friends doing this option and they were pretty terrible students in high school and they know it’s really easy to get that 3.4. often times kids will not work that hard knowing that they can go to comm college and jack around during high school and comm college and go to uf. the standards need to be higher, especially at uva. uf is a good school, but uva is one of the top premier universities in the nation and it definitely needs higher standards than a 3.4 at comm college.</p>
