Tell him/her that he needs to sway his HS counselor to recommend him. I'm not sure "what's up" with the power of the guidance office, but I would assume they have some power (and remember - there is a Head of Guidance, they are the boss of the other guidance counselors. Suggest to your student that they have a heart-felt talk where they really emphasize their great academic improvement.
Have then keep their nose clean (so to speak) Dec-Jan, Winter Break, especially New Year's Eve a lot of seniors will get in trouble at parties. The HS will hear of it -and it's just about the time they are writing their recommendations for students. It may matter. I would assume the HS counselor has a say -for the Virginia universities. Act as if they do, anyway.
