[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI:  I (not OP) graduated from an FCPS HS with a GPA comparable to Steve Job's GPA of 2.65.  As that was 30 years ago, I do not remember the details.  I spent 1 1/2 years a a second rate college, got a 3.9 there, and transferred to a high quality state university.  Graduated from there, and went on to earn a PhD in a sub discipline of physics.

HS GPA means nothing.[/quote]

Good for you, but your life doesn't apply to all the people.

Actually, it applies to most people:  Community colleges are open admission.  After two years and decent CC grades, you can transfer to many good schools.  Do well there, and you can get into any grad/professional school.  Grad/Professional schools to not ask for HS GPA, and do not care which HS you go to.[/quote]

That's one way.
There are other ways and probably better ways.

NP here.   Really?  What are the better ways?

My DH was a slacker in ES, MS and HS.  He went to community college and did well, transferred to GMU and did great.  Now he is incredibly successful.  Me....I was an overachiever to the millionth degree all the way through school.  I was athletic and competed in NCAAs while maintaining a 3.75 GPA.  By the time I graduated college, I felt like I needed to retire because I was so freaking burnt out.  I am now a SAHM, and thankful to be so, so I can finally rest.

Burnout is REAL.  I am careful at how much I push my kids.  I want them to be driven adults and to persue their dreams....THEIR dreams, not a parents dream of  having them become a doctor or lawyer.  [/quote]
