A report on the high school grade point averages of freshmen entering Western was released recently by the college Admissions Office. The average g.p.a. for all freshmen entering fall quarter, 1971, is 3.06. Although the vast majority of students entering WWSC ranked In the top half of their high school classes, the percentage is down slightly from several years ago. This is due mainly to efforts to admit students from minority and low-income groups who cannot meet the usual requirements. Th Is year, 41 freshmen were exempted from the normal admission requirements and admitted to special programs. That is about two per cent of the WWSC freshman class.
