I agree with sybbie. If the guidance counselors’ recommendation is the honors program at the cc, it’s worth looking into. You say that S wants a 4 year college. Why? There may be a very legitimate reason (a particular major that is hard to transfer into, etc.). Or is it for social reasons or because that’s what others are doing? Is S mature enough to handle going away from home next year. Some very strong students are not. On the other hand does this GC “push” this option to most/all of the students?

I really wouldn’t worry about the recommendation latter regardless of what your S chooses to do.
