Son just saw grades from first quarter college, and they are not good (a C and a D) in Calc and Chem, but good grades in others. Due to a late registration date, the classes more suited to his level in both these subjects were filled so he took these more difficult ones and hoped with a lot of work to do well. With the curve established by the class his grades dropped down, for example one mid-term he scored a 94 but with the curve it amounted to a B-. He was 3Q'd when he applied last year to the Academy and received a nom, and this year has received a nom based on his high school grades and college program participation in NROTC this year. Can't retake the Chem course--it is booked for next quarter, but will be taking the Calc course he couldn't get into last quarter, as well as an English Writing Course and a history course. Has his opportunity been blown?
