[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I've totally lost my grip on reality.

My junior is at one of the 3 APS high schools.  4 AP classes and Intensified Science.  She was pulling A's in many until the last few days, and now has dropped to all Bs and B+s in those core courses. JR also did a varsity sport this fall plus major involvment with another extra curricular, and different club sport for weekend tournaments.

Reality check:  They will be fine, right?  I think I've gotten so freaked out lately by UVA, William and Mary, Tech admissions horror stories that I'm internally freaking out.  I know that they are particularly upset about the drop in Calc AB.

Please help me come to my senses before i get home from work.

What is the worst that can happen?  So she doesn't get into those schools.  She will go somewhere else.  She could transfer to schools if she does well.  But, the questions you should be asking are is she healthy and happy?  
Please just be grateful for what you have and not worry about the college.  Your dd could be on drugs or self harming could have cancer or any other terrible things happen.  The fact that you are focused on her grades and not the person is sad.

Snap out of it![/quote]
