My son didn't get off to a good start in HS. First semester he immediately failed an elective class, and he struggled throughout freshmen year (Later found out he was bullied). During Sophomore year his performance improved, but his academic performance was still lackluster. Sometime early in Junior year he decided he was going to be a naval officer, and now studies extremely hard and follows a strict schedule and work ethic. He has joined two athletic teams, his academic performance has improved, but I'm still worried it won't be enough to get him into a four year school.
He currently has four A's, two B's, and is failing a video-editing elective class (Due to a spat with the teacher, apparently). He will still have enough credits to graduate. However, the fact that he is failed another class will reflect poorly on his college transcript. All his academics are of extremely high rigor, with AP's.
His ACT is 33, with flat 33's in every category. We have the money to send him OOS for a full four years. He has considered CC and has decided against it; he only wants to go to a school with an NROTC unit, even if it is a less reputable one.
He wants to study Engineering Management/Systems Engineering/Industrial Engineering.
All ideas are welcome!
