[quote=Anonymous]I have experience sending a child in foster care to college. Please don’t see underestimate the lure of ‘no longer being in the system’ if she drops out of college. (In our state kids stay in foster care with great college benefits if they stay enrolled. If they aren’t enrolled, they are independent adults at age 18). Another vote for community college. If she can get a 2 yr associates, that is permanent credits, versus 2 years at a 4 year school that could be revaluated to be fewer credits if she takes a, say, 10 year break. Lastly, she experienced highly extenuating circumstances in her 1 st year of high school. If she applies to a college with individual admissions decisisons, that first year of poor grades won’t be held against her. [/quote]
