<p>All of those accepted into a selective college “did well” in HS. But by definition, 40% of those students will be in the bottom half of the college class. That is true at Harvard, MIT, Stanford and BC.</p>
<p>Academically, professional school is even a bigger jump in workload and information which must be absorbed. And multitasking is critical.</p>
<p>While you are home over the summer, perhaps you could be tested for LD. Or, post in the Parents Forum for suggestions – there are several parents who are LD themselves and/or have LD children. Or, if in Boston neighborhood, make an appointment with the BC counseling center.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
