[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar kid, but one year behind. We'll definitely be considering the CC option, but I have concerns. DS showed us pretty clearly as a freshman that he transitions slowly, and he doesn't show his best work under pressure (e.g. standardized testing). In order to earn the grades needed for a guaranteed transfer, kids need to get consistently high grades from the first semester at CC. A kid who takes time to adjust to the new setting, or figure out how to self advocate and organize themselves can lose everything, or can end up spending years bringing their GPA back up to "transferable level". I don't know for sure what we'll pick, but my first choice would be a school where staying for all 4 years is an option. If he's ready to transfer to someplace more prestigious after 2 years, great, but if not then at least there's a back up plan. [/quote]
