[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're the adult, so I recommend you help her put this in perspective. It's not a dreaded grade, she's not doomed, the world isn't coming to an end. Help her figure out what she could do differently in her next science class, celebrate her successes, and have a good summer. [/quote]

+2  But also to realize that (borrowing an idea from another poster) while the C+ impacts *grades* and doesn't determine them, she also can proactively address the impact.

What does her school counselor say?  Would she be willing to work with an outside counselor?  What is she doing with her schedule for Junior year to make sure that she has as many As as possible?  Is she doing any prep for the SATs?  Are there any activities or extracurriculars or volunteer roles that she could begin developing now that will help her stand out in a positive way?

I'm not saying that every waking moment has to be focused on this because there is nothing worse than hammering a nail to death.  However, some thoughtful choices now can help improve her chances tremendously in 15-16 months when she is submitting her first applications.[/quote]

Typing too fast.  Substitute *choices*.[/quote]
