<p>@celesteroberts…thank you for your kind words and support. also, thank you for your well thought out response in answer to my question. Yes…it seems like that bottom quartile will be held open for OOS students, or students with something else that stood in their way…whether it be other talents, difficulties or what not. That makes sense…but the one that still gets under my skin is that the “state” isn’t providing enough money for our Universities to operate and that state students are being turned away. Personally, getting accepted to IUB would be a double edged sword. It would be nice to be accepted and it would make DS happy…but I think that first year he would do so much better at IUPUI, have more support at home with those first college classes. </p>
