One semester.
First try at college.
We need to believe in kids, not dismiss the first failure as a predictor. It’s not fair. If a kid doesn’t win the first race or his software isn’t perfect on the first try, do you pull him out? What happened to learning, resilience, adapting? You’d have him quit?

Again, OP said he focused too much on one class. Do you truly believe he can’t turn around? That’s too tough for me.

And where did OP say the issue was prereqs?
