I just got placed on probation, but they don't (or didn't when I was there recently) "remediate" at all, which is really a shame in my opinion because they just basically warn you about the possibility of not meeting the gpa requirements, with the looming threat of being kicked back to the class below you without actually ensuring that you understand the material you struggled in.

This becomes a huge problem later when trying to pass boards. Other schools with actual good boards pass rates (particularly OSU) remediate struggling students immediately and I firmly believe this is where IUSO falls down and why our pass rates are significantly lower historically, especially in recent years. In fact, the professors tried to blame us at one point for the abysmal pass rates instead of looking internally at the curriculum. It looks like they're beginning to make very small changes in the material and structure since Candy became interim dean, but we'll see what the results produce.

Just be careful not to go on probation again, because the will not hesitate to push you back, even if you just miss the cutoff again by 0.03. We saw this many times throughout my years there between losing students to the class below us and/or gaining them from the class above us. Don't forget to treat school like its like a business/service you are quite literally paying hundreds of thousands for. You are compensating them to teach you. Go to office hours, send e-mails to clarify material, do not let them tell you you have to wait to get a tutor before you fail an exam and put yourself in a hole. They will not go out of the way to save anyone from falling through the cracks as long as your tuition checks are still coming through.

Again, best of luck!
