[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how crappy is the GPA?

2.94 weighted after sophomore year; theatre tech; will take 3 APs in junior year[/quote]
That's pretty bad. Are you sure that a year or two at community college is not the way to go? If he/she can manage a better GPA at community college, there will be a LOT more choices. If the GPA cannot be improved at community college, at least the student won't have spent a lot of money to find out that college was a bad idea.[/quote]

Community college is a great starter choice for many kids in this situation. My husband had terrible grades in high school, primarily because of outside interests. He did 2 years at a community college working as a theater tech for school and outside productions that rented the school's theater space. Then went on to a well-recognized state u and is now making a great living in an unrelated field (got a liberal arts degree). Think broadly and encourage your son to ramp up his resume in his field, working on semi-professional productions if he can, being a camp counselor at a theater summer camp, etc.

Good luck.[/quote]
