The grade was low enough.

A 2390 SAT and a slight blemished GPA was all it took. She will be attending a top private college this Fall Nontheless. Grad school and research are the goals. A strong undergraduate resume is a prerequisites.
I call bullshit. So your kid received an offer of admission from Harvard and Harvard took it back because of ONE physics grade? Harvard MAYBE rescinds one offer per year and if the reason is grades related - it has to be a pretty drastic drop in order for that to happen. But hey, you tell yourself whatever story u need to in order to sleep at night (or in this case, not be a parental failure to your kid).
