[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people really need to give it a rest.  If your kid was driven enough in high school to get themselves into an Ivy they don't need mommy getting so into the weeds of their classes that they know they're "struggling" in two classes and are already worrying -- one month into the kid's college career -- what the grades are going to be.

Give it a rest man.

[b]And why the need to mention that it's an Ivy, by the way?  You couldn't have asked the same question without having to drop that the kid is at an Ivy?[/b]

Because a student at say a JMU has a very different range of opportunities available to them than a student at an ivy. It's relevant, so calm down. It would be more relevant if we knew which ivy. Five classes freshman fall = not Harvard.[/quote]

Even if it were true that the range of opportunities might be different (not entirely accurate, btw -- and a dangerous place for a kid like OP's to start), the thread would be the same if you put any other school name in the OP. The answers are the same. Job fairs at every college have employers with GPA cut offs. Everyone is applying to the same grad schools and they have the same expectations of their applicants.[/quote]
