<p>I wonder. Will this be an avenue for some students who clearly would not have qualified for UVA to begin with - out of high school? I don’t know myself, but wish someone who does to inform us. How difficult is it to get a 3.4 average at one of these community colleges? Is that kind of grade at that level of institution comparable to the kninds of grades VA high school students must have to get in from high school? Is there any chance that this program is going to result in a flood of less qualified students into UVA? I don’t know the answer, but this possibility concerns me. If this program instead is simply an avenue for some kids to have a second chance and will only result in some community college kids with equal smarts and high quality academic records to get in, maybe its OK even commendable. It does seem odd to make it an automatic admit, however. They don’t do that for high school students with grades above a certain level.</p>
