DC’s grades were the same as last semester and the ones before that.... Partly because he came home mid semester and continued at home. He was not in good shape when he arrived. He was drowning in all the Covid regulation isolation at his school. He is now on a very low dose of antidepressants and doing well.

My kid's grades aren't posted yet, but we've had some shocking semesters and are hoping this one is better.


I had some "shocking semesters". I turned out ok.

The other 3.75 because his sport was cancelled... add that to his normal 2.8.


as for the kid with the F: check the fine print. Sometimes you can retake a class and the F goes away. Every school is different.

Ivy straight A magnet HS kid. 2.9! Took 19 credits with one known super tough class. He said he learned alot so no regrets but is confident without that one next semester he will do much better. It was more than 2x the work of any other class. Also admits he needs to work on procrastination.

Competitive SLAC. Freshman. 19 credits (he overloaded, but had a good reason). Passed his 3 credit P/F Classes (intro to college life, executive functioning in college for ADHD students, amd music lessons for non-majors). B+in one hardcore STEM. Three classes outstanding. Expecting a B/B+ in one and A/A- in the other two.

ADHD kid adjusting to a tough school during COVID. We’ll take it.

In the low 3.0 range, mostly solid Bs. Not bad considering the circumstances.

What a rough start to the school year.

What kinds of grades are you seeing at what type of institution?

Ex: State flagship
3.2 GPA / 15 credits

Not bad for catching Covid and having distance learning.
