[quote=Anonymous]OP, all you can do is try to make a positive difference in their lives. It's true, their odds of success in college (and beyond) aren't as good as your own kids' odds would be. You have to play the hand you (and they) are dealt. You're right, it would probably be better if they could go to a better high school, get tutoring, go to SAT prep. But, they can't. So play this hand. They might not get into as good a college as they could have if they'd been better prepared. Okay. They might not be as prepared for college as they could be. Okay. So what are your options now? Help them identify colleges where they DO have a good chance of admission. Help them pay for it. Help them succeed by encouraging them to reach out to professors, get help if they need it, seek out mentors, take advantage of opportunities. If they stumble, help them up. Play this hand.[/quote]
