Would appreciate insights from admissions professionals…
Student was an honors student on track to graduate. Personal issues arose and student failed 3 classes, resulting in GPA dropping just above a 2.0. Student is considering returning to complete degree, however wants to explore other schools, several of which have high admissions criteria. Recommending that student try to return to “school of record” since they have all background and there would be a higher likelihood of readmission vs. trying to a competitive school with only academic records as a baseline. What is your guidance? Thanks.
