This is an interesting finding. I am assuming that Annette is discussing the
results of an actual study performed at her school. If this finding is
generally true, it would be very disturbing since many students start out at
community [junior] colleges. Does anyone have data looking at the question of
whether or not GPA at community colleges predicts to a reasonable degree GPA
after transfer to a four-year institution?
I'm just thankful that my school is known far and wide as the Harvard of the
Northeast corner of Pima and Chapparal Roads.
