If your student has started to turn it around in HS, but the current HS GPA eliminates any possibility of attending a University of Virginia or College of William and Mary, don’t give up hope. Consider the thread “For Reasonably Bright HS students that would like a ‘Second Chance’”. http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/t/for-reasonably-bright-hs-students-that-would-like-a-second-chance/3536061
My son was already accepted to a number of lesser universities and had his mind set before I found out about RBC of William & Mary, but it would be great if someone else’s kid seized this unique opportunity.
