[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is happening to a number of kids because HS has been so watered down. Too many kids with 4.3+ GPAs and 5s on APs are experiencing this. As others have said 12 credits is full time, get help at office hours and with tutors. CC is no place to build math skills, find a quality tutor and work all summer on math. Realize that you are on a 5 or 6 year path now and that a change in major might be necessary. [/quote] Yeah, my 4.4+ GPA kid with a ton of APs struggled her first semester. She retook intro bio/chem classes that she’d gotten an A in and a 5 on the AP exam and got a C and B- respectively. She’d never had to actually study before and it was really rough for her. Finished freshman year with barely over a 3.0. The good news is that she buckled down, learned to study and her GPA is almost up to a 3.7 now. So, don’t lose hope; it could just be a rough transition.[/quote]
