[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding attending 120 -180 ranked schools, the reason I bring it up is because child thinks that is not going to be a problem at all, even now.

Attitude is, I got an F, it is not the end of the world, I am still getting into colleges 120-180 that I want, so why is this even a problem? You can understand why my blood boils over this.

My question is, is the above true? Is it possible to get into these colleges with the current grades. Assuming child would say get a B or an A next year repeating the class. Current GPA is just above 3.

If child comes to believe that the above is not true, it pretty much solves the problem. As it is mainly one of effort. It is almost as if child thinks, putting in any additional effort to get higher grades is "time wasted down the drain".

PP told you he should call one of his top choices and just ask already. He's got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

No school is going to say anything definitive. They all claim to look at each application "holistically" and there are no absolute cut-offs. I don't think calling would yield the results that OP might want or need.[/quote]

Some of them will be helpful, actually. You never know until you try, and right now, the family is at an impasse. What are your suggestions?
