[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After serious academic struggle due to health issues, is it better to gut it out and graduate from a “top school” (with a lower GPA - B-) or transfer to a lower ranked school and get a fresh start and chance at a higher gpa at a lower ranked school?

Long term goal is admission to business or law school.

Our only interest is child’s health and well-being. Student is confused and not sure what to do. Taking extended time off to focus on health.[/quote]

If the university is not a good fit and is contributing to your student's health issues, the rest is irrelevant. Transfer. The student will perform better when in an environment they prefer. More important, this gives the student leeway to focus on their health, which, as you point out, unambiguously comes first. Lawyers are snobs, but for law school ADMISSIONS, a higher GPA and high LSAT score matter more. It's not the status of the undergrad institution that matters so much as the law school. And I know and have worked with TONS of lawyers.[/quote]
