[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much for this last post.    I was getting so scared about VT weed out that i was getting afraid to let my child apply there.   It should be a match for my son and the price is right and the reputation is good.   My son coasted only in elementary school,  struggled in middle, and now in high school has learned how to study and be successful in really tough classes.[/quote]

PP, I hear ya.  There are schools that would work for your kid besides VT. I don't know your financial situation, of course, but there are plenty of schools OOS where if your kid were good enough for VT your kid would be able to get enough merit to possibly make it worth considering.  Think broadly and ask a ton of questions.

UMN-TC has some weed-out (they all do) but you don't get thrown into liberal arts (nothing is wrong with LA if you want to be there, but maybe the kid doesn't?).  They also post a ton of good information about how their program works.

I heard nice things about Clarkson, (a school no one seems to think about but seems to be surprisingly good) but my kid wanted Urban.[/quote]
