<p>Agree with FC. A slip in a class not related to the major can sometimes be put in perspective. For a potential engineer, that’s especially when the math-sci classes and those activities are strong . </p>
<p>But this is really about more than just getting an admit. You need to be comfortable these are colleges where he can be ‘on his game’ re: expectations and any hurdles. One of mine had a D, the GC helped. Yours can note the A-. But there need to be safeties where you know he can thrive over the four years. That’s different than just the admit.</p>
