[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are usually a variety of state schools - I imagine they can get into at least one of them? A few are pretty easy to get into. Are you thinking a couple of years in community college first? A lot of people do that with the goal of transferring to a 4 year school. It’s worth a sit-down with the family to clarify goals.[/quote]

They are not attending UVA/VATech/W&M/UMD but they can go to Salisbury/Radford/MWU/etc.

However, I would seriously consider if a kid with those GPAs is ready for a 4 year college.  2.7 and 2.9 are really low HS GPA.  I'd have them start at a Community college and prove they are serious and can handle it.   Then move to a 4 year once they have proven themselves.  Otherwise you might just be throwing money away and on a 6 year path to graduation (if at all).

2.7 and 2.9 were not really low at my son’s private parochial school. Most kids were not in honors classes and the grading was much harder than my other kid’s public school. My son wasn’t a top student by any means but those grades got him into several decent colleges. [/quote]
