[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]NP. You should read the 15:47 post as to the colleges one can expect with below average math sequence.[/quote]

I was the 15:47 poster.  The choice of college had NOTHING to do with math sequence.  It had EVERYTHING to do with what my DS wanted.  He was looking for a smaller school with a decent sports program - he was determined to play at the college level, but he did NOT want a D1 school.  He did not apply to any of the colleges or universities you would probably choose for your DC (notice I stated that YOU would choose) because they did not offer the type of sports program he was seeking.  The school he attended was right for him - very small and very competitive in the sport he played.  He excelled academically and athletically and is now doing quite well professionally.  
(By the way, WE - the parents - encouraged him to apply to GMU - close to home, more affordable - but it just wasn’t what HE wanted.)
If your child takes courses that are right for him/her, and does well in those courses, s/he will be accepted at a plethora of colleges and universities.  I would also advise that you let your DC be the person who decides WHICH colleges are right for him/her, and within the family budget.  Not every child likes or thrives at the large universities.  Or, the IVY league colleges.  That is what is great about this country - so many choices for so many different students.  [/quote]

Good for your so and good for you.  The crazies are out in full force in this thread.[/quote]
