[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 577998, member: 1550"] We have more supports at the two year school. There are tutors and stuff at the four year school for all students, but that's it. I guess I'm not as jazzed up about the four year college bit as some are. She can transfer to Winona after two years if she does well at LaCrosse Tech. And she'd get into the Social Work program and have all her regular classes already finished. And she'd still be able to play basketball. It didn't seem like a "not as good" place to me (shrug). Well, Jumper took the ACT last year just to see. She got something like a 14. I think you need at least an 18 and you need to get a 20 in English or Math even at LaCrosse Tech or else you have to take high English and match classes until you can catch up to college level work. We shall see if she can even get into any four year school, great athlete or not. A lot of kids here go to two year colleges if just to save money!! And a lot of kids who go to four year schools drop out! [/QUOTE]
