Would our tax dollars be spent more wisely if they based college financial aid on your gpa every year?
I know at least a dozen kids who get thousands of dollars in grants and subsidized loans only to keep a C average. I also know dozens of kids who are getting straight A’s while working without getting a dime of financial aid.
Why should we invest in mediocrity?
NO appeals to emotion please. There are many sad stories out there but it doesn’t mean we need to pay for it!
No. i get alot of financial aid. my gpa isnt so great because i have to work 35 hours a week to support myself. i know people who dont work one damn bit and have lower gpas then i do. it honestly depends on the person. and you can just judge a whole group of people based off of nothing. i could take a ton of EASY classes and have a perfect gpa. while people in medicine and math and engineering kill themselves to succeed and have lower gpas and still come out making alot of money. it depends on the ease of the major what your gpa is, how much time you have to put towards it and so forth. gettig straight A’s doesnt mean you are smart or a good student. ever heard of cheating????
