I teach at our flagship state university. The undergrad school I’m part of is top 20, according to US News (if you’re into that sort of thing). Each semester, about a quarter of my students earn a C or worse. The culprit is usually not a lack of brains or low high-school GPA or sub-par SAT/ACT. On those counts, our students are above average and getting stronger every year.
The biggest culprit I’ve seen is poor discipline, poor time management, poor focus and poor attention to detail. High GPA and SAT/ACT are nice, but they only get you so far.
