<p>RELAX. Senioritis in small doses is not fatal. Colleges expect it. Getting a “B” instead of an “A” will not raise an eyelash, let alone an eyebrow, especially for such an accomplished student. A serious drop in grades[ I’m talking 'D’s" ] or a serious moral lapse or crime are the only reasons a college would recind an acceptance. I suggest she let the Japanese go for the Spring semester, and notify her chosen college in April that she will be continuing her studies in the Summer [she could attribute to an unavoidable scheduling conflict if it would help her justify the change in plans] No college is going to recind an acceptance for dropping a class taken in addition to her HS classload. She could let her clubs go if she likes. I advise her to do her best to keep to her grades up [as much as possible] in the[hopefully unlikely] event that she decides she wants to transfer to another college, because her complete HS transcript will be required by any college she applies to.</p>
