[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD had a similar issue junior year.  Have her reach out to the teacher and the counselor ASAP and get a tutor.  My DD got a C first semester (up from an F early on in the semester) and a B- second semester.  She worked her tail off and was in close contact with her teacher.  She ended up using that teacher’s recommendation and having adversity to write about.  She got into some great schools and is happy as a junior at a SLAC with a 3.9.

Your DD is in a better place.  It’s senior year so that grade might now even show up for EA applications.  If she can get a C, it will be fine.  It feels like the end of the world, but it is not.  She needs to push through and communicate with the school.  Transfer down to AB would be great if school will allow.  My DD’s school would not let her move down.[/quote]
+1. There is still time to get the grade up with a tutor. Also make sure the teacher knows she is working hard to get the grade up and working with a tutor. It's a good idea to meet with the teacher to go over tests and assignments and to show effort. Had a similar situation with AP Chem, but it turned out fine in the end. Switching out to something else for next semester is an idea to consider. [/quote]
