So I think you have to look at WHY the student’s credentials are lower than average, as colleges do. Some C students aren’t that bright; others are very bright and their credentials don’t reflect it for one reason or another.



That’s a very good point, Hanna. A student who received poor grades or poor test scores in high school for reasons that are unlikely to affect success in college – such as a personal or medical problem that has since been resolved – is in a different situation from one who was performing at his or her best in high school but still earning credentials well below the college’s average.
