Ok, now perhaps I'm being just a little naive here, but is it common at some of these well-established, large schools to have incoming freshman with UNDER a 2.5? At my school, incoming freshman averaged above a 4.0 and I don't recall ever seeing listed GPAs under 3.8 during recruitment. Admittedly, our school had high admission standards, but I don't recall my high school colleauges going to 4-year universities with UNDER a 2.5. In those cases, Community College was often a better option (plus you could save money).

Doesn't it seem weird to come into a college practically on academic probation already?
