[quote=Anonymous]My son is a decent kid, Okay student, the rest. How likely is it that he will get into college?

Here is the thing. His freshman year he had a really bad transition. He went to a charter from2ed to 8th grade, and then (at his insistence) we transferred him to Wilson. He found himself in a new environment, and he got strait Cs with a few Ds thrown in for his freshman year, made no friends, and came out of it with a 2.05384615385 for the year. After that, we enrolled him in a summer-school esque camp thing, and talked to him about the importance of grades, and over his sophomore and Junior year he made quite a few improvement, and he now has a cumulative 2.7 GPA. He is convinced that no university that is worth going to will accept him and that applying is a waste of time and money. I was wondering whether any of you had any advice? Is it really too low a GPA to get into any college that is worth going to (We mean that it's not just a party school, that it is well known enough/has a good enough reputation that a degree from there will actually get him a job after, and is academically solid)? His SAT score is 1650, BTW, we will be having him take it again in Septemberish.[/quote]
