[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it so bad she can't return for spring term?

I would: 
Get her home and take a break.   Look to see if there were any mental health issues that drove it - if yes, get her the support she needs.

Have your daughter work with the school to create a schedule that works for her in the Spring.   Top 10 schools do not want kids failing out.  They want to help them be successful.

Does she need a gap year?   [/quote]

Sorry, didn't mean to suggest she won't return in Jan; she will still finish out freshman year. It's just the process of transferring begins basically now with, I think, March deadlines in order to set up attending a different college next Aug/Sept. I don't think another semester is going to make a huge different in gpa, so assuming it's still pretty mediocre, what is the best case? And will they factor in high school stats (which are terrific) or just seize on low current gpa? And is it any hook at all to be applying from a top private?[/quote]
