[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what I have already been considering my current junior: applying to a PG year at a good boarding school while also applying to colleges. If they are unhappy with the college options (or verly likely have none), spend another year maturing and have presumably strong senior year grades to add to the application the following year. Kid had a rough freshman year but strong grades since and we know for the schools they want, the freshman grades are going to hold them back. They have been "rejected" by admissions offices during the sports recruiting process already, so we know this and are hoping a fourth year of grades will suppress the freshman ones. Is this a thing? Do people use PG years for this?[/quote] For recruitable athletes, yes, it's a thing. For everyone else, not so much. You should also research which colleges put weight on freshman grades, though. Some don't even consider them and most don't pay them much heed.[/quote]
