[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Expectations for PT school, not med school. Personally, no, I figured it would likely end the way it did. But they really wanted to try and it's not my job to tell my kid they cannot achieve something without them at least attempting it. Many kids really come into their own in college---so you never know.

My kid made great strides with their learning issues in ES/MS and did well in HS. So they picked a school with a PT program (highly ranked but my kid did not get direct admit) and a path where a significant portion of remaining spots go to students at the school in the program my kid was in. So if they did well, they had a good chance at getting in. I wasn't going to kill my kid's lifelong dream. But we made sure they picked a good school that had excellent other options to major in."

I don't want to derail OP's thread, but damn. [b]This post deserves its own thread. Of course you snuff out ludicrous career aspirations and redirect them toward things they'd be good at, especially when it involves them destroying their GPA unnecessarily and therefore making it harder to get into the track they should be on.

All parents should be steering their child toward what they are good at, not just what the parent would pick to live vicariously. [/quote]
