[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life is journey and path is not always straight. You or son start calling and researching options. Start with the school he failed out of or other schools he was accepted to out of high school. Of course there will be some no’s but you only need one yes! Community college could be option but don’t assume it is only option. If you are Maryland, try UMBC. 20 is young, lots of turns in future ahead!!! GL[/quote]

UMBC is fairly competitive. DD tried to go there as a summer student with a low GPA at another college and even that took a discussion with admissions and clarification that she did not intend to transfer there because they were concerned she could not handle the coursework. Community college - even just a semester or two - is a much more realistic choice and will end up giving OP's DC more options.

OP, FWIW I know a few kids in a similar situation. It was a tough time to be transitioning to college, and the kids I know are all going to community college and planning to transfer to a state school after that.[/quote]
