[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a college professor with a MCPS magnet kid.

In high school I suspect my kid will have a 4.0ish. Their first semester freshman GPA is shaping up to be an unweighted 4.0 (there will be a few B+A=A grades).

If they get to college and pull a 3.6 average across all 4 years that is a success to me.

Honestly, people. Get a grip. [/quote]

NP- I’m not that happy with my kid’s 3.5 in junior year because she was originally pre-med and from what I could tell that was too low to get into med school.  Now, she’s thinking law school.  I looked at some random, not so great schools. The bottom quartile of U Minn had a 3.6 I believe.  That’s why I’m worried.  What’s your view on needing high grades for grad school/law school.[/quote]

Why are YOU researching law school
admissions data for your college junior????

Seriously, your “kid” is 20 years old. They have the same access to the internet as you do. Plus all the pre-law resources on campus (info sessions, advisors/counselors etc.)

If they can’t take responsibility for navigating law school admissions, they absolutely are NOT READY for law school.

Stop doing everything for your adult “kid.”  Maybe then they will step up and show the maturity, motivation, and initiative you’re hoping to see. [/quote]
