Less than 3.0 GPA, is there a thread? Or hope?

NPRMom:

What is most important to me is that my S have the choice to take a variety of courses and not be limited to a pre-determined schedule with just one elective. Our tour guide at SUNY Oneonta several years ago informed us that this was standard practice and I’ve been generalizing this information, probably unjustly, to all SUNYs.



At most schools, including community colleges, a student’s choice of courses does depend on his/her intended or possible major(s). Some majors have more required courses than others, or longer sequences of prerequisites that must be started early to avoid delaying graduation (or transfer from a community college to a four year school). However, delayed transfer from a community college is typically less expensive than extra semesters or years at a four year school.
