I know you are asking about merit for your son as a transfer, but really…I think that is going to be a challenge. So…I’m posting an alternate suggestion. And I know this isn’t the advice you are asking for on this thread…

Perhaps your son needs to do college in smaller units. I know you are looking for a four year college with merit aid. But is it possible that community college is affordable for your family for him? He could start by taking one course at a time. Then add a second. Then maybe a third. Get A and B grades…this would demonstrate to a college that he is able to handle college courses. That will help.

If he went this route, he would have his credits from his current college…and then could build on those. Slowly.

When he completes the equivalent of two years of courses, then look to transfer to a four year to complete his bachelors. It might take longer than a couple of years if he takes part time courses. But college is a journey not a race.

On another thread, you mention a local college….would that be an option…perhaps part time to start.

And this would save you money in the long term.
