[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]26 ACT (even with extra time) is not that bad! Many kids, esp. with ADHD, take extra time to mature. He may need a slow start either at CC or reduced workload with lots of tutoring at a 4 year college.

Are there certain subjects that he struggles with more than others? Community college can be a good idea to knock out the more difficult classes before transferring to a state school after a few semesters.

[b]What does he think? Does he want to go to college? Can you afford to pay for 5+ years of full pay college? If so, he may really benefit from only taking 3 or 4 classes at a time.

Most schools, from small LAC to large universities, have lots of built in supports but the student has to seek them out and use them. Still a good idea to ask about the types of supports available at individual colleges.

OP here.  Thanks to the 2 posters above for getting me thinking about community college.

He is not loving the idea of going to college, but he's willing to do it. He does want the credential, but worries about the challenge of getting the credential.  I do believe he thinks that, with sufficient tutoring, he can complete a degree.

We can afford to pay for 5+ years of tuition of college.  That's a great idea to take 3-4 classes at a time.  Yet I'm guessing he'd get a part time job so as not to have too much time on his hands.[/quote]
