bzylzy, thanks for posting the Splash link. I will definitely keep it in mind. BTW, I sent you a PM because I get the impression our DDs are similar.
I think it's a good thing when selective schools try to keep students--after going through the screening/recruitment process, it's nice that they realize that people can hit 'speedbumps' and if they stick with it everything may work out. In contrast, where I went to college, there were a number of classes that seemed designed to weed people out at least from certain majors using techniques like assigning ridiculous amounts of reading and grading on a steep curve. Not a great feeling after you've invested all that time and effort to get into a 'good' school.
