You live on campus. Freshman year you go to community college in Binghamton and if you get a 3.0 GPA all credits transfer and admitted officially to Binghamton

Wow, that’s fantastic

Did you read OPs requirements? Budget is $40k. Rollins COA is $81k

Ever heard of financial aid?

Yes, a number of schools with near 100% acceptance rates.

I don’t think you know how that works. At all

Are there schools other than community college?

Yes, of course. However if money is a concern I’d advise against it, and would recommend a CC and then transferring.

Part of the reason there’s a student loan issue is that there aren’t a shortage of colleges willing to put young adults into massive amounts of debt, regardless of how successful they will in college or if they will actually get a good ROI on their degree.

If you’re paying for it, money isn’t an issue, and it’s not a big deal if your kid is able to handle going away for school and being successful, or if he withdraws and comes home. Then go for it. Won’t be hard to find one.

Not going to get in to GMU or CNU. Possibly Mary Wash, ODU and VCU. But Definitely a yes on Radford and Longwood. Those are your reaches, targets and safeties in a nutshell.
Good luck! There are colleges for everyone out there.

Graduated with a 2.99, admitted to Pitt, F&M, Lafayette, Furman, Sewanee, Indiana, Conn College and a few others I am forgetting. Maintaining a C+ average in college, too, unfortunately, because of his LDs. Incredibly intelligent kid, excelling in some subjects and bombing others. Fortunately, he knows this about himself and has learned to be okay with it. He will have a degree in a year and half and then figure it out from there. But yes, college is possible if he is hard worker and knows his strengths.

Lol yea “incredibly intelligent” but couldn’t break a 3.0 in either high school or college. Ok.

I'm guessing you are not "incredibly intelligent," otherwise you would know that plenty of highly intelligent people get low grades, especially in high school.

Nope. Not all through high school and college they don’t. Especially not nowadays.

Come on now. WTF are you talking about. My kid who has a higher IQ and is very intelligent gets worse grades than my less smart but harder working kid. Were you literally born yesterday?

If your kid has a C average in both high school in college, then no, the kid is not “very intelligent”. I don’t care what some silly test says about his IQ.

How about you just shut up if you can’t offer kind and constructive advice. No need to be so hateful and such a know it all.

-NP

I am offering constructive advice, which is that a student with a C+ average in high school is highly unlikely to do well at most colleges, and probably should aim very low. I also would not invest any money in educating that student at a private college. There is at least a 50-50 chance that the student will not graduate.

Tell me you don’t know a thing about human brain development without telling me you don’t know a thing about brain development. (Hint: doesn’t fully develop until 25)

-Ivy League grad (magna cum laude) who held a lower than C GPA in high school.

Must of been a post-grad degree because no ivy is taking a c average student straight out of high school.

Which I mean, doesn’t negate your point—but you must have proved yourself before attending the extremely expensive private ivy.

If cost is a factor, it is just not a good idea to send a C+ average kid to a 4 year expensive school directly after graduating high school.

Most of this are not going to admit a C student. Perhaps ODU, Radford, and Longwood.

Not true at all.

Radford has a program very similar to this, called Bridges.

ODU apparently has started something similar where a student attends Tidewater for a year with ODU advising/career counseling, but does not offer on campus housing.

I think you know my kid! Yep, we've had THAT discussion. Seriously considering NVCC too. "We" need to grow up a bit.

Good gravy. You are a nasty piece of work.

ODU has a lot to offer and it’s sad that people continue to have such a lousy attitude about it.
