[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC had poor grades in grades 9 and 10. Now seeing a doctor and a therapist to treat ADHD and anxiety and doing much better academically in 1st quarter grade 11.

Grades:
9th: 2.74 unweighted; 3.03 weighted (4 honors classes)
10th: 2.68 unweighted; 2.9 weighted (3 honors classes)
overall GPA 2.73 unweighted; 2.98 weighted

1st quarter 11th: 3.79 unweighted; 4.29 weighted (3 APs, 1 honors classes)

ACT: 32
SAT: 1360

Is there any hope for a 4-yr college, especially in-state (Virginia)?

Why is 4-yr so important?  Community College is perfect for this student - 2 years of good supportive teaching, followed by a guaranteed transfer to a number of VA schools.  Just watch out for getting put into remedial courses - submit appropriate tests so that doesn't happen.  CC is a useful thing - don't dismiss it.  [/quote]

Community college in Virginia does not necessarily work for all VA state schools' programs. Students need to read the details about the "guaranteed transfer" program.

The OP stated their DC would love to attend VCU, and mentioned theatre as EC. VCUArts does not participate in the Guaranteed Admissions Agreement, although VCU does. So the "community college is perfect for this student" statement may not be the case.

Does VCUarts participate in the Guaranteed Admissions Agreement?

VCU has entered into guaranteed admission agreements with the Virginia Community College System and Richard Bland College, as well as a number of program articulation agreements. However, because of the specific requirements to your VCUarts application major, VCUarts does not abide by the Guaranteed Admissions Agreement.
