If she had a learning disability, some people might overlook such poor grades. If not, then I don't know what she has been doing while at school. It also depends on her major. I highly doubt she will be accepted into a medical program if her grades are so poor. She is going to be a Junior. That sounds like she has a bunch of credits under her belt. Chances are that her grades may not greatly improve.

The sorority ship has failed. As far as future career endeavors, bring up the grades or you may have a hard time finding a job. It's harsh but, hey-it's true. The joblessness rate is very high, right now. If you don't come from a highly competitive university, have a highly competitive major, or have a learning disability, people may not be as forgiving about it. Even entry-level jobs are hard to get with poor grades.

If anyone thinks what I said was harsh, look at so many of the VERY QUALIFIED and INTELLIGENT people we have on this site that are having a hard time finding jobs. They all have attended great schools, have great grades and are involved on campus yet, it is hard for them to find jobs and they are GREAT CANDIDATES. Now, compare that to people who aren't doing so hot. Is it really harsh to tell someone they need to bring up their grades? No, I don't think it is!

The way you said it was the problem. This post is reasonable. The point is "bring up your grades" not "you suck at life and must be stupid".
