[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a tutor asap to get kid on homework schedule so everything is turned in. Always. Look at Bennington, [b]F&M, Gettysburg, maybe Dickinson[/b] and other tiny SLACs.[/quote] For a C or D student? Are you crazy?[/quote] Yeah, my kid with a 3.5 GPA got waitlisted at Dickinson this year. It’s not an easy acceptance, and neither are most of the other PA liberal arts colleges in that same tier. Regardless, since OP’s child is still in middle school, the main focus should be on getting any necessary supports in place. It’s way too soon to start fretting about college and building a list. The kid may change their habits and do better than expected in high school with maturity and the right supports. Additionally, the college landscape could shift 5 years from now. But, if they do end up as a B/C student there are still plenty of options for a path to college.[/quote]
