> Have a 3.0? Dont have any drug arrests or convictions?

The first two things are the reason why a lot of people I knew had to go to community college instead of directly to university. Florida has a similar program (Bright Futures) that has similar GPA requirements (and also community service and test scores). These programs are nice and all, but a far cry from actually making education beyond secondary school reachable for most people.




I will make an unpopular statement, "college is not for everyone". The good news is not every one needs a college degree to succeed, even in this very field of software, college degree is "unessential". I am sure if the person below 3.0 GPA is passionate about learning and attaining college degree avenues should be open.
