[quote=Anonymous]Also, remember that colleges really care about their retention rates- they want their students to be successful and graduate, and they provide a lot of supports to ensure this. My spouse is a professor, and you'd be amazed at how few kids take advantage of his office hours, the campus writing center, TA sessions/tutoring. Many kids who were strong students in HS aren't used to asking for help academically, so make sure your child knows that most kids at rigorous colleges do utilize these supports- it's expected that they will ask for tutoring or help, especially during their first year. Agree with the above poster that looking at fit is important, there are definitely schools known for 'grind culture' but that if your child gets admitted, the AOs feel confident that they'll be able to handle the work.
