[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An aside for IR kids— keep your nose clean.  American citizens (especially with American citizen parents who also don’t raise red flags)  who learn a critical language are in high demand— if they can get a security clearance. A DUI or occasional pot use at 19 might not prevent this, but it can slow things down.  And if you start adding stuff up, present a high clearance. If your kid is serious about State, . Your kid should realize that, in the future, people might come and talk to roommates, professors, employers, etc

Also, start a word doc and keep track of addresses, contact info. When I did my upgraded clearance, it took me forever to find th exact dates of every country I had visited. Especially in the Eau without passport sts,AP. A day in Gibralter. Through Andorra with a stop for lunch. Write the dates down. [/quote]
OP here. Thanks. My kid doesn’t even swear. But I’ll remind him. 
For JMU haters, my kid doesn’t have the grades to go higher. But thanks for boosting your schools. They sound good.[/quote]

Getting into JMU is increasingly hard, esp as getting into UVA and WM becomes increasingly hard. Your kid would need solid stats to get in.  I’m not pulling up scattergram, but is Ohio State or Pitt Arts and Sciences harder than JMU OOS?[/quote]
