<p>My child was asked to withdraw the year because his academically problem. He did not pick up my call, and I do not know what I should do. Please kindly give me any advise or suggestion if
You want. Thank you very much.</p>
<p>Don’t send him any more money (cut off access to what he has) until he returns your calls. Email him and tell him you are doing it, then do it. No one can give you more advice here unless you get more information from him.</p>
<p>He worked very hard, I knew it. I think he is so sad that he did not talk to me. I am afraid of him.</p>
<p>Is this for real or is this a bored student home for summer break?</p>
<p>Yeah, I was also thinking that.</p>
<p>I don’t think that is the giveaway… we sometimes get foreign posters who don’t have the strongest English grammar and spelling. But this one has no real info and seems designed to “stir the pot” of discussion.</p>
<p>Op had few posts on the Harvard U board. Sounds like a ■■■■■.</p>
<p>I am sorry that I did not give more information because I only can speak few english.
What is the best way to him this year to go? Find a job or audit some classes which are hard to him.?</p>
<p>When you speak with him, ask him if he has had a meeting with the people at his college. He needs to find out what they want him to do before he can go back to college there.</p>
<p>If his grades were very, very bad, they might tell him he can’t ever come back. However, they will probably tell him that he needs take a certain number of classes for credit somewhere else and get good grades before he can apply to be readmitted. Usually students who are given that option take classes at their local community college.</p>
<p>When you speak with him, do not tell him that he has failed. Tell him that you love him, and that you will give him a place to live and food to eat while he decides what to do with his life. He might prefer to get a job instead of going to college right now. That is OK. He can go to college later. If your husband or wife or other family members will be mean to your son because of what has happened,he might want to live with someone else for a while. That is OK too.</p>
<p>Sorry, been there, not fun, can’t help.</p>
<p>Is he really dropping out of Harvard? There are lots of options. Not sure if he is an international student or not. But local state schools will take him, if he is willing to transfer. Some times, when the kid is more mature, he will be able to advance and get back to a more selective college or graduate school. It happens all the time, my nephew was dropped out of Cornell and after two years in Community College, he transferred to UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>If he is an academic type, he might not be happy to get vocational training and start with a low level technician. It all depends his aptitude.</p>
<p>Thank you all. I think he just leave harvard one year and then he can return back to school.</p>
<p>Not really, but if he is really failing(like GPA 1.0 or less), they will not take him back in a year, maybe two years the least. And during those two years, he really has to show the improvements in GPA from the other school. Most ppl I know never returned to the failed college. I know of plenty of ppl failed out of Top Universities, including MIT, Harvard and Cornell, they never returned. Maybe your kid can do better.</p>
<p>Honestly I did not the details, that is what I guessed. I thought he will back to school one year later automatically. Oh, my!
You mean he has to take some classes in other college?</p>
<p>You need to talk to your son and to his college. Colleges handle this differently, and you need to work with them. Posting limited information out here will not get you any useful advice.</p>
<p>Yes absolutely, IP is right. If you feed us garbage, our reply will be garbage. Its an American saying, garbage in, garbage out. So understanding of the situation and the position from the college are the most important, when you do, write here in detail so we can give better advice.</p>
<p>I only know his gap is low that the reason he was asked to withdraw.
I can not speak english so I can not call the school.</p>
<p>How low is low on the GPA? As I said, if it is below a point, the college, especially Harvard, will not call him back without SOLID evidence of advancements. And since each year Harvard takes only a FEW transfer students out of thousands, the chances going back is slim. If you really want, you should go there with your son and speak to the school and see what they say.</p>
<p>I have a friend’s daughter who flunked out of Harvard in her senior year and all the prior investments were wasted and she could not return.</p>
<p>It is about 2.5</p>
<p>Why didn’t you tell us in the first place? a 2.5 GPA is not failing, George Bush had a lower GPA and he still graduated. Maybe its your son wants to take a gap year? You need to find out that and the school’s position and make a judgement on that.</p>
