Hi , my son is in such a worry today ! He got a C in Science !! its the first since many years, So now his gpa decreased from 3.75 and to 3. 2 (unweighted ) !!! He took 2 honors class and one Ap but that wouldn’t make any excuse according to him. I told him, I 'll ask for help. We are a little frustrated because we live in Us since only few years. He was always good in Science (having for years only As) and was dreaming to go to a good college . Is that still possible ? Thank you so much.
1 C will not ruin your son’s future. This is probably not even his yearly grade, so if he does well the remaining marking periods he should be fine. I got some Cs in some classes, but I ended up with all As for the year with effort.
What year is he in?
Hi ! He is in 10th !
Plenty of time to make up his GPA, even for this year and certainly overall.
Sometimes kids transferring in from other school systems might find a tutor helpful, at least for a while (these may be offered free of charge by older students at your son’s school).
I presume that when your son *eventually * starts his college application, part of his essay will relate to the various moves he’s made. At holistic universities, adcoms will understand that moves like that can have impacts on grades, as well as helping your son stand out a little - overcoming a big upheaval like emigration and still doing well.
Many thanks ! I sincerly appreciate your help
