<p>Getting that kind of GPA at a Virginia community college is not hard at all, but I would guess that the admissions office is assuming that those who stick it out in the system for two years will be mature and hardworking enough to enter UVA and do well, despite lacking jaw dropping academic credentials. I don’t think this new initiative will cause any kind of flood of less qualified students into UVA - the admissions office wouldn’t just shoot itself in the foot like that.</p>
