He’s not a finished product as a student and he definitely left some points on the table with his GPA, but the hope was that it would be offset by the standardized test score. I guess not.
I called today to see if CLA might be another option and received a weird response from the admissions counselor. Something to the effect that he has already been considered for CLA as part of his application review (even though it was not listed as a secondary on his application). Hopefully once the dust settles he will get an offer from CBS or CLA.
