While many colleges require a 3.0 or higher GPA for admissions into their schools, there are some schools that are willing to accept students with less than perfect grades. There are colleges that recognize that some students are late bloomers and yet, can still handle the rigors of a collegiate environment. They factor other metrics into their admissions decisions. In this episode, Pam talks about how families with C students can move forward with college planning.
Colleges that are test optional are accredited colleges and universities that do not use SAT or ACT scores to admit students into their Bachelor programs.
