“I would also like to hear what it was like to attend a college where your credentials were well below those of the average student.”

When I went to Bryn Mawr, my credentials were very far below the average student there – good scores, but mostly F’s my last two years of high school.

Although BMC was not a good fit in some ways, I ended up near the top of my class academically during my time there. 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.
