<p>The reactions on this thread are interesting. I’m not sure I see a grading problem. AP US History is more challenging organizationally than any other class the parent listed. It usually involves managing a number of deadlines and a lot more reading and writing than any of the other classes mentioned. It’s too bad the student couldn’t raise the 3rd quarter grade a bit, even to a C, but what’s done is done. </p>
<p>Back to the original question… I think UFL may be a reach but he has a good chance at FL State. One of my kids was accepted there with a much lower gpa, one D on transcript, but higher scores. He needs to work on his test scores. Did he try the SAT? </p>
<p>OP, none of my kids’ schools would have given an IEP to a kid whose only disability was ADHD, had a 3.6 uw and an IQ of 130. (And I’m not sure special ed is appropriate in those cases.) Does your son actually have trouble across the board in school? (Those grades don’t seem to reflect that.) If so, you could have sought a 504 for accommodations.</p>
