[quote=Anonymous]DP, but in the same boat. DS's grades at a "very good" (per DCUM) NOVA public are As and Bs, one C+ (in 3rd year of language; he won't be taking the same language going forward). No sports, but extremely driven by faith. He is only applying to 1 school, a faith-based school, and we have attended open house and admissions night. I'm sure that his devotion to his faith will come through in his answers to the application questions. Two questions: (1) will his grades sink his chances?; and (2) should he ask one of the young adult Youth Group volunteers to write a letter of recommendation? He has to submit 2 letters from teachers, but he has the option of supplementing with letters from other adults in his life. All of the Youth Group volunteers are fairly young (in their 20s). I'm sure they would say wonderful things about my son, but I doubt they've ever written recommendation letters before. [/quote]
