[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- you’ve responded to a few things but not that she only stays at home twice a week.  How do you know she is staying with girlfriends? Have you talked to parents? (I would to thank them for feeding and housing my kid on a regular basis, and offer to reciprocate).

She will absolutely be rescinded if she fails or is not making credit. She could appeal due to COVID, but a drop in all classes across the board would need a serious appeal.  If she applied early decision and only has one option, that can actually be worse if she is admitted because she won’t have options if her grades plummet and the one acceptance rescinds.  Deferral to regular will also not help if first semester grades are bad... and deferrals are shockingly common these days.[/quote]

OP--We periodically do unannounced drop-ins to ensure she is where she is supposed to be. We also have a location tracker on her phone which she is unable to turn off (through phone provider).  We do host her friends as well a couple of times a week and always feed them, but I had to intervene a few times during school hours and separate them to different rooms. Starting this week we limited her phone access to emergency numbers/no access after certain time.

We made it very clear to her that grades need to be brought up OR colleges may rescind the offer. If grades are not brought up in two weeks, she will lose her car access.[/quote]
