[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks to everybody!  I see many promising possibilities here to investigate.

Regarding CMU: I wish he had a chance there.  He is a smart kid with excellent standardized test scores and an impressive github repository for somebody his age, but he is one of those kids whose grades are consistently dragged down by their homework grade.  I don't think a kid like that would have a chance at CMU.  I think they would want somebody more organized.

Regarding community college: this would be a great choice for a kid who wants to go to a top school.  That is not my DS.  He just isn't driven.

But I am starting to see that there are schools where he can go,survive even if he will never be very organized, refine his computing  skills, and get a nice job, so thank you all![/quote]

OP, I think you should be more concerned about finding a school he can keep up/survive than getting in. I know people mostly focus on "getting in" aspect of college, but keeping up can be far more difficult than getting in particularly kids who do not have good study habit. Good luck.  [/quote]

You are so right!  That's one reason I am looking for noncompetitive schools that still have good reputable programs.  His study habits are improving steadily.  And his study habits are quite good if it is something he is interested in.  I wish he had my self discipline, but then again I do not have his charm and charism.[/quote]
