Lmbo, the program is actually science related, and the lower grades are actually in the sciences
but otherwise, that was pretty encouraging. I have actually emailed one school to ask for a recalculation (because technically I
do meet the 3.0 criteria; just not when you combine repeat courses and average out the grades (aka an f and an a make a c in the course). I like the probation idea and have used it before for a scholarship (and it was approved); wish I had thought of that sooner; thanks!
