[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised no one has suggested community college yet. It could be a much better value for this type of student than spending the $$ to go to a private or OOS school where he might struggle to keep up.[/quote]

This is a good suggestion. If in VA, two years at NVCC and a 3.0 GPA gets guaranteed admission to JMU, 3.4 gets UVA or VT. If grades are improving, some more time to mature could be valuable. Running off to Ole Miss could backfire.

Otherwise, test optional seems to be the way to go. Hard to get a 10 point increase on the ACT if you have already done a class.[/quote]

I agree with the cc suggestion... I have a few friends that did badly on the SATs, went to CC, focused on classes they were good there,did better there than in high school, and ended up transferring to well known 4 year options. It's a great option for kids who struggle with testing or the high school curriculum, or who are slower to mature than their peers.[/quote]
