[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a neurodivergent DC currently in middle school who struggles to complete homework (and has low grades).

We are working on helping DC develop better homework habits. We think that as DC gets older and more mature that will help as well. However, we’re concerned that significant improvement won’t happen for a few years (JR or SR year).

Are there 4-year colleges that accept students with gpas of 2 (or lower) or would community college be the only option?

I am PP that listed a bunch of schools, and I want to add a couple things.

1. I agree with posters saying keep up the support and skill building, hopefully HS grades will be better than you fear. MS is very early, but I wanted to answer the question and say that it is possible!

2. In the current landscape, I do think 2.5 is a bit of a break point. Below that is even more challenging, but there are paths. I think it's my kid's weighted gpa that's around 2.5 and that is with 3-5 grade replacements, and 1-2 Fs. (9th grade was a total disaster and then we had an evaluation. But grades are still not "good" by any means.)

3. I think my kid's essays were probably decent and tried to really get into why they believe giving a 4y school a try will be a good choice. Kid did not take SAT/ACT at all, but that's another thing only relevant in current landscape, could swing back for sure.
