Grades that look “low” at a competitive entrance magnet school are not at all likely to be a problem for advancing to finalist from semifinalist. One of the things I found most interesting on the form for applying to go on to finalist is that it included a section titled “Curriculum Information” for listing courses at the highest level in each core subject, and other courses at the “honors/AP/accelerated” level in each of those subjects. When I saw how my son FILLED all the available space in that section, I knew he was in.

Good luck in next year’s application. I think your daughter will do fine.
