[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son went to college during the beginning of Covid. Complete disaster. He stayed 3 semesters. He was at school with online classes. He didn't even meet with a counselor until his sophomore year.

He is now 20 and ready to return to college, but wants to go somewhere else. Any other parent dealing with this. How do you explain grades? Is the horror of Covid a good excuse. What are kids doing.

I know there were a lot of kids like him. How are colleges looking at them?

Please help.[/quote]

OP thousands and thousands, tens of thousands hundreds of thousands kids attended college during covid and did not flunk out.

While covid was a thing it is not the only reason your kid failed out. It is not even in the top five. Try again.

Grades they go to community college for two years. Then they transfer.

With all due respect, he was always the type of kid who would need hands on help his freshman year. The school he attended handled covid VERY poorly. He was not even assigned an academic advisor. They offered very help and professors were not available. You are right, covid was not the only reason, but he would have done much better if covid had not happened. Some schools handled covid much better than others.
