[quote=Anonymous][quote]procrastination is fine but missing deadline is not. 
staying up to cram before tests and complete homework is happening often. 
first semester, straight A's in math (college level) and one F has averaged that grade to a B. just relieved to have a B. 
Second semester started with a F in math(multivariable calculus)... Math is supposed to be my child's favorite subject. so disappointing. 
no enthusiasm to plan admitted students college visits. 
checklists, reminders are not working. [/quote]

Even a top 10 school is not going to mind a B in college math class.  They will see his final grades in his courses, that's it.  They don't know if he's procrastinating or cramming or doing homework at the last minute or missing a few assignments.  Tell him not to get any C on his final transcript and leave him alone.  It sounds like maybe he never even had a B before, maybe that's why you're freaking out.

Both my older kid and my current senior were tired of all the college stuff by this point in senior year.  DD didn't do admitted student visits and DS probably won't either. DD's excitement didn't ramp up until she attended orientation for her school (she did visit before applying).  I worried about it a little at the time, but the temporary lack of enthusiasm turned out to be no big deal. [/quote]
