C's and advancing to NMF--what if there's a problem?

I know of a student from my school who didn’t make finalist because of one (1) D on his report card. I don’t know what class or what grade.



Then how do you know that’s why he didn’t make it? They don’t send a letter that says, “Sorry, but that one D on your report card is the reason we’re rejecting you.”



I think a “D” can be the tipping point away from NMF. One or two C’s can be understandable, but a D is harder to overlook.



One would certainly think so, but once again: My son. Two C’s. One D. Finalist. Go figure.
