[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has had a rough first year of college. Large state University and she got a C in General Chem and recently withdrew from Organic.  First semester GPA hovered about a 3.0. This semester without Chem should be better but only because Chem was dropped. Maybe 3.5 ish. Plan is for her to retake over the summer.   She’s [b]so frustrated with Chem[/b] though and is dropping out of Biology major and is thinking of something else. Her talents have [b]always[/b] been in the humanities. SAT score was 780 verbal 620 math.

She’s lost a lot of confidence struggling in math. Please help.[/quote]Is she frustrated with Smith's Chem101 or with stoichiometry?  If it is that pressure-cooker weedout, but she loves and has always been good at Chem, the retake.  If she's good at humanities, but hates them and loves experiments, then retake.  If she suffered atypical stress/trauma such as roommate, sexual assault, breakup from hs boyfriend, alcohol poisoning, weight gain, etc, then retake.  If you encouraged her into Pre-med/Bio/Chem, then let her take the classes she wants for pre-law/tech writing/linguistic anthropology/etc?[/quote]
