You don't even really need a "C" average (total), so long as you pass the required courses. Usually what happens to make people fail (most who apply that early have already completed almost all of their required courses) is that they slack off and get a D or F in their final semester of English (which is a requirement- 4 years of English). It always amazes me how many people- otherwise great students- decide to blow their last semester off because they got an early (aka "conditional") acceptance. Gotcha. It was the way it was worded (not enough credits) that threw me. (When I think of credits, I think of college; we don't/didn't call them "credits" in admissions. Not at a high school level, anyway.)OT, but you can do a couple things. A lot of those really good students would appeal, and either make up the coursework in the summer before fall admission, or else come to some arrangement to make them up in the fall (very rare). They might be directed to another school system- the CSU and UCs are on the same requirement list now, but other schools have different (and more lenient) entry requirements. Alternatively- and what a lot of students out here in CA do- is make up the required general ed in Community College, then transfer in to the university (which is where my confusion about the question of credits came in). It's actually tougher to do now- a couple years ago, they changed the CSU transfer policy so that you can only transfer in as a junior essentially- meaning a lot more CC for transfers than they used to need.Thanks for clarifying what Sam Lane said, though. Maybe Lois is attending Smallville Community College? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
