[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the high school. My son went to local very rigorous private. Graduated with a 2.99, admitted to Pitt, F&M, Lafayette, Furman, Sewanee, Indiana, Conn College and a few others I am forgetting. Maintaining a C+ average in college, too, unfortunately, because of his LDs. Incredibly intelligent kid, excelling in some subjects and bombing others. Fortunately, he knows this about himself and has learned to be okay with it. He will have a degree in a year and half and then figure it out from there. But yes, college is possible if he is hard worker and knows his strengths.[/quote]

Lol yea “incredibly intelligent” but couldn’t break a 3.0 in either high school or college.  Ok. [/quote]

I'm guessing you are not "incredibly intelligent," otherwise you would know that plenty of highly intelligent people get low grades, especially in high school.

Nope.  Not all through high school and college they don’t.  Especially not nowadays. [/quote]

Come on now. WTF are you talking about. My kid who has a higher IQ and is very intelligent gets worse grades than my less smart but harder working kid. Were you literally born yesterday?[/quote]

If your kid has a C average in both high school in college, then no, the kid is not “very intelligent”.  I don’t care what some silly test says about his IQ.[/quote]

How about you just shut up if you can’t offer kind and constructive advice.  No need to be so hateful and such a know it all.

I am offering constructive advice, which is that a student with a C+ average in high school is highly unlikely to do well at most colleges, and probably should aim very low. I also would not invest any money in educating that student at a private college.  There is at least a 50-50 chance that the student will not graduate.[/quote]

I was a C student who got into a T50 school. Why was I a C student? Because I was miserable, bored, almost definitely undxed with ADHD, and cut class a lot to go to the public library and study things that interested me.

College was a fantastic awakening for me and a chance to really learn to learn and learn to love it. I realize I was incredibly lucky that the selective school I got into took a chance on me, and I know such chances are a lot less common now, but being a poor student in high school can be the result of a lot of things, many of which have nothing to do with academic potential.

When you were a C student a C student was a B student. Things have changed.[/quote]

I'm aware. But C students for reasons like I was a C student are still quite common. [/quote]
