And for Indian/Asian parents - we are taking about un-prepped scores in these tests. If your kid needed classes for NNAT - then TJ is not the place. Just accept the fact and save yourself some misery. [/quote]

I wouldn't just direct this at the Indian/Asian parents.  Prepping is not exclusive to those groups.

Also for your kid's mental health, if they seem to be in over their heads, then you should realign expectations or encourage them to go back to their base school.  I have seen kids (of all ethnicities, mostly asian because the school. is mostly asian) tank their GPAs because they didn't want to disappoint their parents and admit that TJ wasn't a good fit.

If you help them realign their expectations, things can still work out pretty good.  Their college list looks more like Texas A&M, Penn State, Purdue, VT, but if you keep chasing ivy and thinking TJ is your pathway there, your kid will be miserable and you will feel helpless.

If they are drowning, get them out.  [/quote]
