<p>I agree with the other people here. For one thing, instead of thinking too much about where he’ll get a good GPA, consider where he’ll be happiest, also. Sure, what if he does well in A&M, maybe he won’t enjoy it (like the person above who mentioned the S doing well in sciences but not enjoying it). Even though a school might use a plus/minus system, I wouldn’t completely rule it out UT as a possible college choice. IMO, I could have gone to many other schools, but I knew that if I did (and that it’ll be easier to get a good GPA), I would be miserable… like I just can’t image myself in a city like College Station (no offense). Besides, what if he does listen to you and does to A&M/Tech, yet he decides to change his career options. Maybe he wanted to go to UT in the first place but chose otherwise just for that extra .33 to the GPA. Those extra points wouldn’t mean as much if he decides not to go to med. school. There are just too many factors to consider to rule out a school because of a grading system.</p>
