[quote=Anonymous]My son is a Big 3 grad. In high school, he was a solid middle of the class performer with pretty high SATs and tough courses. He (and we) wanted a college where he had a good chance to be an academic high performer. It was understood that a higher GPA (3.3+) was expected and that a less than stellar performance would force us to rethink the college as a long term investment. That perform or bust approach has worked well so far. He is very happy at his Southern SLAC and seems to be on track for a solid college experience. I think there is a mix of maturity that comes with graduation from HS and getting into a new environment where the student can recast his/her image. [/quote]
