[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a junior here - DC frittered away first two years of HS and has a cumulative under a 3.0. DC is clearly not going to get any merit aid based on first two years, though grades this year are looking way up. DH and I are not wealthy. We had always anticipated some combination of student loans, merit aid, etc. Now, its becoming clear to me that just getting in might be a challenge. Any tips for us? Based on DC's lack of effort, I'm not enthused about funding a full ride- would like to structure some financial participation on DC's end too as well as ours and I don't want it to be at a 40k liberal arts college... Any tips from people who've BTDT or encountering the same scenario?[/quote]
