We have a really good guidance counselor and he assured us that my daughter still had a chance of acceptance if her grades improved. She is much more optimistic than I am. I’m encouraging her to check out one more school, even though she does have two acceptances. My older son was in a similar position when he was applying to schools. Even though he brought up his GPA and scored higher on another ACT test, his first choice school was swamped with acceptances, so they could not offer him a spot. All was not in vain, as the higher GPA and score got him more money from his second choice school. Motto of my story…Don’t give up! And if I lived in Michigan, I’d check oiut Grand Valley State. Everything I hear about it is very posititve.
