btw...When I was at the U, one of my roles was to work with students who were on academic probation. During this time, I found that the most successful strategy for students who are at risk or who have admissions "issues" is to go to a Junior college for at least 6 months and transfer in with a strong initial College transcript.

Whether or not my kids qualify initially for a University program, I want them to stay at home for the first year or two, while attending a local Community College. There are too many disincentives to success at the typical University. The Freshmen dorms are not much more than resident brothels, for example.

Congratulations and good luck to your son. I am sure he will do well.
