IU a good, prestigious school?

Calcruzer, I was in those classes your S is talking about. I took the W in A100 and a C- in E201 (have to retake both courses this semester), two weed-out courses. A good strategy is to take the hard courses over the summer at a CC, and transfer them over to IU. The credit transfers, not the grade. So over the summer take Accounting, Math, and Economics, and get credits so that on IU’s campus you can build up your GPA with other courses that aren’t so hard (X220, X104, X204, G202, X201, and G.E. classes).

I agree 100% with the comment made about the attitude the student need towards the school and the education here. I came in thinking it would be easy, that I would just get my degree, get my job, and move on. And right now, I have the lowest GPA of my life and need an attitude adjustment. If you think “oh, these admission standards are low, IU is an easy school”, you’re setting yourself up for failure. The average GPA here is a 3.0, and around a 2.7 for business students.
