[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for your responses. Her narrative/intended major is not STEM necessarily; she's really undecided but has considered Econ or Biology.

I feel like a C is attainable, but there's likely no way she's able to get a B-. If admissions does inquire, there's no excuse othere than "it's hard!". Maybe they'll appreciate her honesty lol.[/quote]

They probably admitted her because she was taking AP Calculus (a way many schools screen for rigor) and her A- 1st quarter probably gave them some confidence that she could at least end with a B. An F will be a red flag, as would a D since it is out of pattern. Definitely have your DD take ownership and select a tutor on Wyzant that can help her at least pass the course. That said, I would definitely steer clear of Economics as a potential course or major. Calculus really underpins it and you can't really progress in Econ without a facility with calculus.

Separately, how did your DD do on the math section of the SAT? Or did she take the ACT? [/quote]
