[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have him go NVCC, keep his grades up and do the in-state transfer to another state school then. [/quote] Why do people assume that a kid who's pulling a 3.1 in high school is going to magically do much better at NVCC? Doesn't always happen that way.[/quote] It's not about magic. It's about big differences between high school and college - the way classes are taught, the timing of classes, the way you can set up your schedule, when you can study, among many, many other things. I was a 3.0 high school student (mix of As, Bs, and Cs) and was 4.0 at NVCC. I transferred to W&M and did very well there. I just did much better with college learning vs. high school.[/quote]
