Good point brocco. I never really thought about the fact many people just take a class here or there never intending to get a full degree. Do they count them as non-finishers? How about HS students that take the classes as dual credit?
Our CC doesn't count them as non-finishers, in fact they have a classification for them when they enroll, it's called Non-Degree Seeking Students. I'm sure this claassification is to make sure they don't get counted wrong.

Dallas CCCD has the same system. As I understand, since they're not pursuing an AA/AS or certification, they don't count "against" the amount of people that graduates.
I was offered scholarships to Brown university before I even graduated high school because of my SAT scores and class standing. However, I could never afford that, and didn't think it to be worth the debt.
Instead I went to Community College, and graduated with an Associate of Arts degree and a 3.7 GPA. Earned a large honors scholarship to the local university, now carrying a 4.0. Planning on pursuing my MS in Operations Research.
Anything is possible, it just takes lots of hard work.

From Brown University's Financial Aid website:
Q. Does Brown award merit-based financial aid, such as academic and athletic scholarships?
A. No. As a member of the Ivy League, Brown does not award academic or athletic scholarships. All financial aid awarded by Brown is need-based meaning that no factors are considered except the family's demonstrated financial need. Brown only takes into account a family's ability to pay before awarding any financial aid funds to a student.
Okay, can we not derail this thread please. It has been derailed once before and I want to stay on the topic...
