The Journey: Avg Stats Kid who needs big FinAid

[jym626]

This just came across one of my professional listservs and might be relevant for future low/mid stats instate NC applicants https://www.greensboro.com/blogs/the_syllabus/the-syllabus-the-unc-system-will-consider-a-new-minimum/article_2ab80fe1-cec2-5828-ade8-e42218eaf2ad.html

The current standard, in place since 2008, requires prospective first-year students (1) to do three things: pass 15 core courses in English, math and other academic areas (2), compile a weighted cumulative high school GPA of 2.5 (on a 4-point scale) AND score better than a 17 on the ACT or an 880 on the SAT.

The proposed new standard: pass the same 15 courses as above and have EITHER a weighted GPA or 2.5 or better OR post a minimum, but higher, score on a standardized test (3).
