[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the long run it really matters a lot less than you think where he goes to college. And this isn't just my opinion - there is fascinating research showing that unless you're a first generation college student or a member of one a few very specific minority groups, going to an elite college doesn't any any long term effect on your life outcomes. There is also great research showing that growth mentality, challenging yourself, learning to work hard, etc. *does* have a significant long term impact. Take a deep breath, be proud of him for taking on this challege and doing well, and don't even mention the possibility that he should drop down to easier courses. (And if you're still stuck on the grades piece, think of it this way. It's going to look particularly bad to colleges if he tried the harder courses and gave up, especially given he's doing okay. So at this point he's in it for the year.)[/quote] This is true. Good Advice [/quote]
