This made me laugh. Yes, I believe that the GC thought that a 3.3 cumulative GPA (which she calculated, because the school doesn’t do GPA’s) was not 4 year college worthy. I sent that GC a link from the school website explaining their rigor and grading system, because she had never heard of the school. Any school in the TSAO group is pretty rigorous, right?

She seemed frustrated by how she received the information, because it didn’t easily integrate into their system. She was very flustered by the trimester system, and how to transfer that into the semester system at PS. She also wanted my son to take PE because it wasn’t listed as a class on his transcript.

Based on some of the PM’s I received, I am talking to some people who are making me feel better about this situation. My son is willing and able to discuss in person and in writing how this has changed him, and how he has grown. Hopefully some AO will think that this kid has potential.
