Advise needed about rescinding ED

My good friend has a daughter who is a recruited athlete who was accepted ED for September at Midd.

All was well until this lovely girl received a disturbing letter from admissions at MIDD.

Her grades are stellar, all A’s in an IB program, except for a C+ this quarter in BC calc.

The letter alluded to rescinding of ED acceptance, alluding to this possibility though acknowledging that it is very rare. The letter said the eye of the committee was on her and she should pull the grade up.

It goes without saying that I think this is overly harsh. But that’s not why I am writing. I am writing because I would like to assure my friend that this is all hot air and not to worry, but I don’t know if this is true at MIDD.

My kids attend(ed) Barnard and Williams and I have no first hand knowledge of MIDD.

Please, anyone with any information or insight, can you advise this family?

Thanks in advance.
