Wow, thats quite an upgrade and requirement for college. This can go both ways either good or bad. Either kids will start working harder so that they can get into college, or they will simply accept that they cannot make the grade and give up. This will create a situation in which most of the students in college are there to really learn and give it there all and not just party. It will be interesting to watch how this turns out as the ultimate results of this will not be apparent for nearly four years.
