Freshmen entering my university have at least a 2.5 GPA and 950 composite score on the SAT (old scale). Requirements for out-of-state and home-schooled students are noticeably higher, but still low. I had a GPA of 3.87 and my composite SAT score was 1410 (Verbal + Math). It is an enormous difference.

I always have to remind myself that the students I am teaching are not like me and not like the younger me, not just in their knowledge but also in their abilities and values.
You’re the one with the brains here. I’m watching for your posts.
