2nd Semester Senior Burnout - Dropping Grades for Accepted Students

<p>Hi all. I have found it very hard to find information about whether or not bad grades for Second Semester Seniors really can end up revoking college acceptances. I was wondering if anyone knew anything concrete. Do you know anyone who was accepted and then either warned, placed on probation, or cut loose after having bad grades during the final semester of high school? Any horror stories, tales of consolation?</p>

<p>I'll give you my example. Here were my first semester (senior year grades):
AP Physics: A,A-
AP Statistics: A,A
AP English: A,A
AP French: B+,A-
AP European History: B,B</p>

<p>Over the past few months, I was accepted at Georgetown, U. Chicago, and Wash. U. in Saint Louis. I have also gotten "you will be accepted" letters from Princeton and Dartmouth. Needless to say, I am very happy and feel very lucky.</p>

<p>Now, here are what I think my second semseter grades are going to be:
AP Physics: B-
AP Statistics: B+
AP English: B
AP French: B
AP European History: C-</p>

<p>Not too pretty. Do you think I need to worry about a warning letter/probation/declining of acceptance?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help-

<p>I'd also like to know the answer to this question...</p>

<p>you should be ok.</p>

<p>To be safe, try to raise that C- to a B-/B, and for good measure, maybe get that B+ to an A-.</p>

<p>I'd be sure to watch that C-</p>

<p>i heard something about my gc saying that if u stay within one letter of what you were operating at, it's ok.</p>
