[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with those above who said that academics are the least of the worries right now. He can stay at his school and do well enough[b]. Doesn’t need an internship freshman year. [/b]It sounds like what he needs is time and space to process the changes in the family, gain some independence, and find his own way. No pressure to get an internship or worry about getting a job years down the road.[/quote]
what is his major?

Most students don't get internships after freshman year, especially this year.  It's super tough.

My DC is a dual math/CS major at UMD - straight As, and they had a hard time finding something freshman summer.

I would  not worry about internships right now. Agree that he should focus on his mental health.    DC knows a few kids who have subpar 3.0 gpa.

My DD has anxiety, especially test anxiety.  But she is not 18, so we can get dx details,  and psychiatrist put DD on low dose meds.  We've also found some anxiety triggers and are trying to address that. Easier to deal with DD medical issues since she's not 18 yet.
