Question for any/all that took/taught Organic Chemistry. Should Niece Elizabeth be crushed that she got an A- in O Chem?

She should be thrilled. The best I could get was a C+ and I still got into the number 1 Duke PA program.

Oops, almost missed this. She should be dancing a jig. I made a B both semesters. Still managed to get a PhD in O Chem from Duke.
Congrats to Niece Elizabeth!

Thank you for all the responses about Niece Elizabeth. The A- keot her from a 4.0, si that is the reason she is upset. And she is in no danger of losing her scholarship based on grades so all is good.
Life is good!

Some graduate suma cum lauda, some magna cum lauda (like my daughter), some just cum lauda. Personally, I graduated with great relief.........
