[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all. He will get either a C or a D for the semester in math, unfortunately, depending on the last assignments which are as yet ungraded. He's always had straight As in math previously, and in all other subjects, and [b]we don't quite understand how it has come to this[/b]. This is for AP Calc BC.

He's accepted Early Action to one college already, but the letter states that he needs to keep up the same academic record he had in the past - which in math is not the case.

Will the college rescind their application, do you think?

Your son should. When did the fall off happen? What was the grade like at the interim?

When did he realize he wasn't grasping the material and what did he do to get tutoring or support?

His ability to do this kind of diagnosis and advocacy, in a timely manner before he can no longer recover his grades, will be key when he gets to college. So the fact that he's still struggling with those things is a sign he still has quite a bit of work to do in that area.[/quote]
