I’m thinking cal poly Pomona if he gets in. Tuition plus rm and board comparable to uc riv tuition, and no commute. Also can visit on weekend.
Ok, done.
Wait. Unless they won’t take his 1.5 years of ap credit. Maybe just go get a bs at cal state San Marcos ASAP while living at home.[/quote]
scaredy, I like the CalPoly idea for him. At least living on campus the first year. He can always get a job after that and have roommates.
I think you’re on the right track here 🙂 CalPoly would challenge your son. They should accept his AP credits but will likely not use his “weighted” GPA for admission purposes.
Since he didn’t apply himself (to his abilities) too much during most of his “HS career,” I feel he may have been too bored. You don’t want him in danger of dropping out of college because of boredom. CalPoly is the way to go for him and is less expensive than UC.
Ok, done.
I know first-hand about kids about kids who score high on the SAT but didn’t apply themselves as well as they could have in HS because I have one.
