[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like he is giving up, sulking and running away to lick his wounds. Working on the farm alone for a year is not going to improve his chance of entry to any college. He should attend the one he has a place at and work his ASS OFF to get the best grades possible for 2 reasons - improve his chances of success there and make the possibility of transfer viable if at the end of the 1st / start of the 2nd he wants to transfer. [/quote] It's hardly "sulking," it's a mature response to a bad outcome and way better than choosing to attend a school he's not going to like attending. He'll get way more out of college after this kind of year. Can't speak to how it plays out from an admissions perspective. Transferring is a less optimal outcome because he'd be leaving friends, etc., and significantly disrupting his experience. [/quote]
