Especially for your gene pool.

For many students attending community college it is about living at home and saving money. They will be guaranteed to transfer into a public university after getting their AA. This is becoming the norm. Most of the students going to UF, FSU, UCF and USF as a freshman about have their AA degrees when they enter college.

"UF held the class of 2023 to higher standards.

The university recieved a record amount of applications at more than 41,000, which resulted in a more competitive class. The test scores and GPA of students admitted into the new class proved to be higher than previous years.

The more than 14,000 students who were admitted for Summer B and Fall had an average GPA of 4.45, average SAT score of 1388 and average ACT score of 31, UF spokesperson Steve Orlando said.

Last year, the admitted class of about a similar size had an average GPA of 4.4, SAT score of 1364 and an ACT score of 30."

To have a 4.45 GPA by the end of the high school Junior year transcript (the only transcript UF, FSU, UCF and USF will take) the student would need to be taking a full schedule of Dual Enrollment , AP, or IB type classes and getting A's in those classes. UF and FSU each expect to actually enroll only about 6,500 students. There are over 50,000 students in Florida expected to graduate in May 2019 with the highest level of the Florida Bright Futures Academic Scholars Award that pays for 100% tuition and books. UCF and USF are enrolling the majority of the Florida Bright Futures Academic Scholars. The students with these awards generally are not attending community college because the tuition cost is much lower and they want to get the most for their scholarship. Ironically though, many of the students who attend UF and FSU want to get out of those colleges for the summer and go back home and are transient students at the local community colleges in the summer. The Bright Futures award covers summer tuition at the community colleges.

Those UF and FSU students are intermingling with the community college students in the summers and after the community college students get their AA and flood into the UF and FSU campuses. When you think about it those UF and FSU freshman have enough credits when they come in to almost be juniors and are with the community college transfers in their classes.

Wonder what the SAT and GPA averages are for the incoming soccer or football freshman classes are?

This is becoming the norm. Most of the students going to UF, FSU, UCF and USF as a freshman about have their AA degrees when they enter college.

It is becoming more normal but not the norm because there are more kids than seats in classrooms. Colleges take whom they believe are have the highest probability of success based on the criteria they set.

While the kids who apply after completing two years at a JUCO or Comm College have a high success rate (full credit for their hard work and efforts) you ignore the large number that finish community college with their AA and do nothing more or those who never finish their AA.

The simple truth is if you kid didn't get in, they didn't have the grades or scores to do so. Those that went to CC probably saved themselves from being washed out the 1st year and gained the experience of college coursework and are better prepared for it.

Depending on their desired major, it will take them longer to graduate and they will have a slightly harder time getting into grad school. This is not always the case but more often than not, CC grades have a tougher hill to climb again....depending on their major.

Getting an Engineering, Physical Science, Medical School hopefuls have high drop out rates or major changes to begin with.

Communications, Educations and Business Degrees are more easily attainable for those coming up through CC or JUCO's.

You sound like you are trying to convince everyone that the same value applies to going through the CC route has the same or better value than being a freshman admit at a respected and ranked university. While CC's and JUCO have place and give opportunities to those who are unable to get in initially, it is not the same value and can make things more difficult.

The minimum standard for 2+2 articulation is a gpa of 2.0. You still have to get into your desired college at the university. You are NOT going to be accepted into the college engineering, law, Design and Planning, Nursing or a number of others with hitting the 75th percentile with gpa of 3.6 or better to be accepted into those programs. They are called limited access for a reason.

These limited access programs (and there are many others) only accept students who meet the criteria whether they are advancing Juniors or incoming community colleges students under the articulation agreement. Incoming community college transfers are only guaranteed general admissions, not admissions into any college.

You are only proving what a wannabe you are by posting these absurd rants. All you do is copy and paste statistics the appear to fit your argument but fail to prove anything other than show you have the basic ability to copy and past. You are such dullard its not even funny.

Some get a higher GPA at the community college after two to best out the student already at the bigger university, some don’t make the cut at a big public university to get accepted into their major, and some of those students struggling to get a B in a required class to get into the major go retake a summer class at the CC. They will each find their way.

Sports can get them admitted to the college but not necessarily the major. Many switch.

Quite a few soccer players settle for the sports management and communication degrees. Missing classes and labs can make it tougher even with tutors.

Seriously, what are compensating for? Your posts read like a embarrassed parent making excuses for their kid.

Yes, that is correct. However the majors with the highest acceptance rates are physics, chemistry, biology, philosophy and government service.
