And - ahve her do everything in her power to get an "A" or 2 on her transcript for transferring.

[b]Call the In State school she wants to attend - see if there is any flexibility in starting in January.  If not, ask what they recommend for the semester.   Some schools recommend against community college as having 3 schools in 3 semesters is not the best story.[/b]

19:11 back  this is very good advice.  I haven't had to do it but I do know that all colleges and universities have significant fall out the first term of freshman year.  There might be some openings in January in your state system.    Best of luck!  I hope you can work this out!  If you are in VA and get nowhere with University-of-Choice, I would suggest calling the other VA universities (DD could apply for a transfer to Univ-of-choice later after she settles in and maintains a good GPA).  And if you get a friendly response from someone in admissions but no actual movement, write that person's name down and call back in a few weeks - you never know.  Unfortunately, I know of a lot of kids who didn't make it beyond the first term of college because they weren't ready - but that might leave an opening for your DD.[/quote]
