Let other freaked out parents take heed.

There are colleges for everyone. Take most if what you read in this forum with a grain of salt.

Big congrats to you and your son OP. I hope that you both take pride in his acceptances!

Thank you! He worked so hard to improve his grades this past semester. I am proud of him. And I hope this gives hope to other parents who may have a struggling child. So many thank you’d for all the kind and helpful responses from y’all!

Congrats OP to you and your son. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you!

Those SLACs that some PPs are disparaging do well with placement after graduation because they work hard at it. Otherwise they can’t attract new students.

What does SLAC mean?

I thought that the "S" was for "selective," and not "small."

Nope. Small.
