My lil cuz got a d1 ball scholarship to hoop, and was living good, starting, putting up numbers. He started making a name for himself and the women, partying, and not studying caught up with breh. He failed his first semester with like a 1 GPA. Got kicked off the squad. :patrice:The school allowed him to come back via appeal and he began to do well. Making B's but the terms of his appeal stated he couldn't get a C.

He had a couple semester of better grades, like low B's, and then he got a C in a class and was dismissed before he could get his GPA above a 2.0 and get off probation, even tho he showed much improvement.

He went to CC and picked his grades up for a year+ with like a low 3 GPA there, but now he's struggling to get accepted into a good university and he's struggling even worse to get into major. So even though he might be able to get into a worse UNI, they have advised him he will likely not be able to get into the "academic schools of study" he wants at any college. :jbhmm:


Engineering, business, and communication school will not allow him to major because his overall GPA is sitting in the mid to low-mid 2's for GPA because of his first Unviersity?

What do I advise him to do? It looks like more CC will not put him any closer to a degree or that much of a GPA boost, but he has the option to take his first university's online classes out of pocket (no FAFSA) for $500 a class and take as many as possible t boost his old uni's GPA which may allow him to be better off in a year. Or does he say F it and get a random major that may be useless. :dame:

3 minutes on each side, extra fries and coke please

yikes. kid is too smart not get his education tho. But I've told him if he gets a useless degree in liberal arts or natural sciences, he will regret it when it comes time to find jobs after college.

So he's not hooping anymore? What a waste :snoop:

That ship has sailed my brother. Only way he can get back to hooping is prolly a D2 school, I doubt d1 would look at him nicely with a low gpa and previously being kicked off the team after a year.

community college for two years then transfer

Thats what I was thinking, but he says he finished all his basics and theres nothing to take and even if he gets to the high 3's in GPA, it's gonna factor in with his old GPA of a sub 2. Which will still leave him 3.0 or less.

Send him to community college or trade school. Maybe one of these religious colleges might take him.


Edit - Maybe even a hbcu a lot of them are in the midst of closing and can't be too picky with their academic requirements because they got bills to pay and need students.

Damn, I'm very surprise communications majors have a high GPA standard :pachaha:

Why can't get the degree from CC ?
I think his chance of returning to a university is over, and should be looking to explore trade schools.

Nah no way bruh. I mean I think he may have his associates actually. I doubt he wouldn;t be able to get into a university, I just think he's gonna be limited by majors. You tryna tell me tho everyone who fails out of Uni at first never get a degree? I can't co-sign that.

shyt, maybe he really is fukked

Hmmm maybe an HBCU would work. He's already been in Comm college tho. For a year and a half and has like 3 semester from his origanl uni under his belt. So he's well over half-way to 3/5ths of the way there to a bachelors

I have a couple of homies that bounced back from D1 schools; they went to a CC for a year and went to another college. The whole you need to have a certain GPA to be admitted to an undergrad program is bullshyt. They just do that so the college can say ''all of our graduates who graduated (or were admitted into this program) with a degree in engineering, graduated with a 3.5 gpa, they are not going to say the unemployment rate of their engineering graduates who graduated with a 3.5.

Truthfully what you homie can do get some game tape and apply to an HBCU and see if he can get another scholarship or partial scholarship. HBCU's are D1 and are eligible for the ncaa final four; plus they have good engineering, business and communications schools. I really would go with an engineering degree.
