[quote=Anonymous]There’s a lot that might have lead to getting just above a 2.0 his first semester. He could have slacked off, not gone to class or done the work, etc. He might have been in a bunch of “weed-out classes” - I was not a STEM major but I remember my friends who were Biology majors were often in Biology/Chemistry/Calculus and one humanities class as freshmen, and those who didn’t have an awesome HS experience with lots of honors and AP classes really struggled adjusting to the expectations and teaching style of large college classes. He might be discovering that an engineering major isn’t right for him. I think you have to figure out why his GPA was low. If he’s slacking off at school, maybe he needs to come home and do community college or a college closer to home for a year and then transfer back. If he’s struggling with the material, maybe he needs a tutor or a different major. [/quote]
