[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JFC what are we supposed to do? NP here and my incoming freshman kid is a pretty solid B math student with tutoring. And not advanced classes. I know the selective college thing is tough but I didn't think he would literally have zero chance from the get-go unless he has As in advanced math. Do we just give up and send him to plumbing school? [/quote]

No but top 50 is out of the question

Probably 100[/quote]

One can get a great education that also yields a solid professional career at one of the top 100 liberal arts colleges, the top 200 or so national universities, and the upper end of regional colleges in your area.  Don't fall into the highly selective college or bust trap.  Better to focus your energies on helping your kid navigate the world, know themselves, and be an active, engaged student at whatever college they attend.  Sometimes being a strong, motivated student at a less selective college can yield better outcomes--personally, professionally, academically--than being the weakest or average in highly selective.[/quote]
