Concern about GC recommendation-please advise

You need very high test scores for this particular honors program, plus I speculate that it is harder to get into than a medium state school because it is a very small program and offers scholarships.

My son is ok to apply to the program that his GC recommends. Not 100% sure he will get in-when I looked into this program, they appear to highly value diversity–one or two of every kind of person so the competition is fierce. Plus my son’s over all application is fine for a 4 year university-medium quality state school.

I think the reason the GC recommends local com. college is because my son has Aspergers and living in a dorm requires flexibility and adjustments.

Son has successfully taken com. college courses during the summer. He has been at the campus and senses a commuter feel, and just doesn’t feel a fit.
