[quote=Anonymous]It might be a more realistic question to ask whether transferring to another school might be the best response to those grade trends. I don't envy that decision. The Ivy League pedigree continues to maintain value. But I'm not sure that graduating with a 2.7 GPA is what employers or grad. school admissions officers have in mind when they interview Ivy League graduates. There's an insidious theory that has colleges and universities spellbound: anyone can thrive with enough resources around them. The valedictorian with a 4.00 UWGPA / 4.00 WGPA from the high school with no AP course offerings? The only thing standing between them and a robust WGPA of 4.60 or 4.70 is mere access to those AP classes. Same with standardized testing. In both cases, bullshit. It sounds like your DS is living the reality right now. I'm sorry for that. Good luck with his next step(s).[/quote]
