For the benefit of parents with marginal students, there are ways around the weeding out process. Most State universities are required to accept transfer students from in-state junior colleges who offer the same weed-out courses with less brutality. Likewise, when a student transfers from one State school to another State school, only the grades greater than a C are transferable. A kid that got weeded out at one school can improve his or her GPA simply by transfering. And, the failing grades do not appear on the transcripts.
