<p>Futureholds,</p>
<p>You bring up some interesting points. In the case of my son, because we don’t fit in the box of public, acredited school, based on what others are saying here, my son could stand a real chance of not getting admitted. His community service, leadership, ECs, etc. are all done outside of a school-they are done in the broad community but no one is documenting things. He just lives life and does them because that’s who he is. No one at church documents his service. No one in the community orchestra is documenting his service.</p>
<p>I understand the idea behind helping people who have faced challenges. My middle son has diabetes and his schooling has been affected because of it. But, I can see the politics of college admissions interfering with otherwise qualified students who haven’t faced severe challenges.</p>
<p>Wow, this has been eye opening. </p>
<p>As to transferring, I guess my question would be, why would I assume my son could get accepted as a transfer any easier than getting accepted as a freshman? I would argue it’s harder not easier. He has a 4.0 in all his CC work but again, based on all I’m hearing, I wouldn’t assume he’d get in and maybe as a freshman, he’s eligible for more scholarships.</p>
