[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son went to college during the beginning of Covid. Complete disaster. He stayed 3 semesters. He was at school with online classes. He didn't even meet with a counselor until his sophomore year.

He is now 20 and ready to return to college, but wants to go somewhere else. Any other parent dealing with this. How do you explain grades? Is the horror of Covid a good excuse. What are kids doing.

I know there were a lot of kids like him. How are colleges looking at them?

Please help.[/quote]

OP thousands and thousands, tens of thousands hundreds of thousands kids attended college during covid and did not flunk out.

While covid was a thing it is not the only reason your kid failed out. It is not even in the top five. Try again.

Grades they go to community college for two years. Then they transfer.

Ahhh there are two clueless ones here. Did you know that thousands and thousands of kids DIDN'T go to college too during COVID?  Were you not on here when everyone was complaining about how the class of 2020 was screwing over all the next classes because they were taking gap years and deferring? Do you not know the overall college enrollment is down post Covid?  Do you know that thousands of college kids (and teens) committed suicide during Covid?  Did you know that thousands and thousands of college kids were kicked out of their dorms overnight which left kids and families scrambling to figure out how to navigate what to do next. I know the parents of kindergarteners were struggling but have you thought about the kids taking online organic chemistry?

OP this is an easy one. Take some classes at community college while doing applications. Colleges are seeing a lot of these kids. Reach out to admissions for schools where he is interested and have him talk to them. He will be fine and do great. A little maturity and no Covid makes a world of difference. [/quote]
