My older kid was an A to A+ math student while in high school, but she found Cornell’s math/econ courses were at a different level. To get better than the median score she had to know beyond what was taught in class. I received many “I think I failed the prelim” phone calls from her. She struggled the first 2 years, but her grades improved over time. She is in banking and doing well.

Our younger one is a freshman now. She never misses a class and she goes to office hours. Our nephew is also at Cornell. Last weekend after having lunch with us on Sun, he was going to stats office hour.
