Since her current GPA is 3.2 unweighted, I would have a talk with her about bringing up this semester’s grades



mom2collegekids, I know this is advice offered with the best of intentions, but in this particular case it just doesn’t apply. This is not a case of a kid who can’t be bothered to put in the work, who’s bored by it all. This is a kid who’s taken on every academic challenge she can, and who is working her butt off. Could she have chosen more strategically so that her GPA would be significantly higher? Of course. She could have stayed at her former school, in which case she’d have a 4.0 without breaking a sweat.

She knows full well what she needs to do, because she’s the one telling us her plans and goals.

Her younger sister, now, that’s the one who’s going to be getting some talks about bringing up grades. :)
